    THE MARKETPLACE HOW WELL DID EDISON RECORDS SELL? During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Rigoletto En La Biblioteca Pública “Azorín” Octubre 2012
    Rigoletto en la Biblioteca Pública “Azorín” Octubre 2012 ■ INTRODUCCIÓN Rigoletto es un melodrama en tres actos con música de Giuseppe Verdi y libreto en italiano de Francesco Maria Piave, basado en la obra teatral Le Roi s'amuse, de Víctor Hugo. Fue estrenada el 11 de marzo de 1851 en el teatro La Fenice de Venecia. Está considerada por muchos una de las primeras obras maestras operísticas de mediados de la carrera de Verdi. Se trata de un drama de pasión, engaño, amor filial y venganza que tiene como protagonista a Rigoletto, el bufón jorobado de la corte del Ducado de Mantua. Historia Composición A principios de 1851, el teatro de La Fenice de Venecia invitó a Verdi a componer una nueva ópera para ser estrenada allí, en una época en que ya era un compositor bien conocido con un grado de libertad a la hora de elegir las obras que prefería musicar. Pidió entonces a Piave (con quien ya había trabajado en Ernani, I due Foscari, Macbeth, Il corsaro y Stiffelio) que examinara la obra Kean de Alejandro Dumas, padre, pero sentía que necesitaba un tema más enérgico con el que trabajar. Verdi pronto dio con el drama francés Le roi s’amuse (El rey se divierte), del escritor Víctor Hugo. Más tarde explicó que "Contiene posiciones extremadamente poderosas... El tema es grande, inmenso, y tiene un personaje que es una de las más importantes creaciones del teatro de todos los países y todas las épocas". Era un tema muy controvertido y el propio Hugo había tenido problemas con la censura en Francia, que había prohibido producciones de esta obra después de su primera representación casi veinte años antes (y continuaría prohibida durante otros treinta años).

  • The Hyechra Club
    THE HYECHRA CLUB The narrator has had a lively interest in The Hyechka Club since its beginning and believes that its history merits recording and dmu- menting in The Chronicles of OkZuhoma, Members of the Club in the past have been interested and its members today are interested in building and supporting a city and a state as cultural centers in which to rear patriotic and Clod-fearing children worthy of the loftiest ideals. Instead of a brief history, this band of music lovers is entitled to a fdsized, two volume publication to report ad* quately all that they have given to the education of young people along cdtural lines and to the wealth of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma as expressed in the leadership and influence of the known and unknown contributors. Looking over the names of world famous artists that have appeared on its early programs and in its annual Spring Festivals, the words of Warner Van Valkenburg are a fitting tribute and introduction even to this brief history of Tulsa's pioneer organization of music lovers :l "I AM MUSIC. "I am the hymns of the Christian Martyrs in the catacombs; I am the songs of thanksgiving of the kneeling Pilgrime; I am the fugues of Bach, and the oratorios of Handel and Haydn; I am the magic flute of Momrt; I am the immortal symphonies of Beethoven; I am the throbbing mee- sages of Schubert and Schumann; I am the nocturnes of Chopin and the folk melodies of Dvorak; I am the rhapsodies of Linzt and the music- dramas of Wagner; I am the voice of Peter Tchaikowski, crying in the wilderness; I am Brahms and Richard Straues, and Verdi, fulfilling the command of destiny; yea I have breathed upon the harps of MacDowell and Cadman, and have sung of a new world in the west.
