Forgotten Splendour
FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death. -

The result, Lewisohn Stadium, named after its principal benefactor, Adolph Lewisohn, and modeled much along the lines of an ancient Roman coliseum, became that and much more. -

Approved HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF....SC:hool.. of ..Musio. 408271 UlUC " INTRODUCTION Women have had a certain handicap in nnieical matters, but they have furnished the great body of amateurs, without which, the profeseional artistic world would have had a sorry time. In former ages women were confined to the duties of the household. They managed their domestic duties well, regardless of the fact, that there were no women's clubs to assist them. Their educational outlook was narrow, and the fact that they were confined to their homes, gave them opportunities to study the arts, that the men of the time did not possess. Later women's opportunities enlarged and today they are thoroughly "emancipated." They attend the same colleges as their brothers, engage in the same occupations and enter the same pro- fessions. Women are given an equal chance of representation on programs as men and axe welcomed as performers, "Woman has been called the Queen of the home." However, since the arts and sciences have been open to women, they are no longer satisfied with this. -

HISTORICAL REISSUES A "collectors' series" of historical recordings, wherever it is issued and under whatever auspices, is in effect an extension of the record club concept. Generally speaking record collectors are not misers. Even those whose chief interest is in labels know that a record was made to sound, and most of us like to share our treasures. This is a case where you can eat your cake and have it. The Rubini label thus takes us into some of the great British collections, which is to say some of the finest in the world. Checking the source credits against the labels and jackets it is not too difficult to guess that the code letters SJG and GV stand for Syd J. Gray and the joint collection of George Stuart and Vi vi an Liff. Other compilers are represented in the CC ("Collectors' Choice") series. If the overall quality of these transfers is un usually good considering the rarity of the originals, one may safely give credit to these collectors, first in their selection of choice materials in the best copies to be found, then in maintaining a high standard of copying. Of course there is some unevenness. The list has been growing for several years and some lessons have obviously been learned. Pitching old records involves a certain amount of guesswork; for the most part I think the correct answers have been found. Where they are definitely wrong - notably in the Chaliapin program - I believe the dubbing was done early in the game. Certain of the repro ductions emerge with a hum and in the batch of 18 releases sent to me there were a couple of stylus jumps. -

AUTOGRAPHED VOCAL & INST. LPs All LPs are 12” and in just about 1-2 condition and jackets in just about 1-2 or cons. 2 (minor lt. mks. or lightest wear) unless otherwise described. "Few lt. rubs" indicate superficial marks, usually related to early mono issues which were not originally issued with internal sleeves. All sets should include all original printed materials. All autographs (signatures) here and elsewhere in this catalogue are guaranteed to be genuine. If you have any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to ask (as soon as is possible). Note that each LP is autographed on the cover by one or more of the artists. If there are artists whose signatures aren’t clear to me, I’ve mentioned them in the description as “other(s)”.
