Carissima Elgar IKISCH and Landon Ronald have shown their delight in the artistic perfection of " His Master'sN Voice " Gramophone by conducting great orchestras in our recording laboratories. Now we add the name of Elgar-a name synonymous in English minds with all that is best in modern composing and conducting. And it is both as conductor and composer that we present this dis- tinguished artist in this notable new record. All England has been talking about his newest work, " Carissima. " As befits its title, " Dearest One," this charming composition breathes throughout the spirit of true love which, for once, runs smoothly. The rich sonorous melodies have a measured flow which captivates the ear from the opening bar. Fascinating is the phrase, constantly recurrin g-ýý Cantadil=ý- I i-ýI ý- a-- - fir -i 0 Impressive harmonies lead up to a happy passage triumphantly rendered by the full strength of the orchestra. Throughout we feel the master-hand controlling the performance-not a phrase, not a note but is played exactly as its author conceived it. The tone and general ensemble of this delightful record are remarkable even in these days of perfect orchestral records such as have made music-lovers take " His Master's Voice " Gramophone so closely to their hearts. Sir Edward Elgar photographed in the Recording Room while conducting " Carissima" A record worthy of the international, reputation of Sir Edward Elgar-a record that will appeal to every lover of music.

    ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A. MARSHALL CONTAINED IN FAMOUS COMPOSERS AND THEIR WORKS 1891 Edited 2011 by David Trutt Los Angeles, California, USA email: [email protected] Web Site: www.haddon-hall.com 2 ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A MARSHALL This biography and critique was written by the respected composer, conductor and writer Florence A. Marshall for a large scale effort entitled “Famous Composers and Their Works” published in 1891. This places the biography before Sullivan’s death in 1900. Sullivan had already completed the twelfth of the fourteen Gilbert and Sullivan operas, “The Gondoliers” in 1889; also his grand opera “Ivanhoe” in January 1891. Still to come was the successful light opera with libretto by Sydney Grundy, “Haddon Hall” in 1892; also the final two Gilbert and Sullivan operas, “Utopia Limited” in 1893 and “The Grand Duke” in 1896. Florence Ashton Marshall (nee Thomas) was born in 1843; she studied music at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She married businessman, writer and music collector Julian Marshall in 1864 and had three daughters. Florence Marshall is most remembered for her two volume “Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.” Florence Marshall wrote many articles about English music of the period, including “Music and the People” in 1880 and “Music and the Masses” in 1892, both appearing in the periodical “The Nineteenth Century.” The dates of these two articles, written twelve years apart, fall within what is sometimes called “The English Musical Renaissance.” 3 ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A MARSHALL Arthur Seymour Sullivan, the most widely and popularly known of living English composers, was born in London on the 13th of May, 1842.
