If the public in Russia, Europe and America of Music (1938), predicted that Rachmaninoff’s Third recognised his gifts in all three branches of the profession, Symphony would ‘prove as popular as Tchaikovsky’s Fifth’. he himself always regarded himself as a composer first If that has never really been the case, Wood’s further and foremost. If he also happened to be one of the finest assessment of the score does ring true: pianists the world has ever known, that was, to a certain extent, a bonus. In 1917, however, there came a seismic ‘The work impresses me as being of the true Russian change in his life. With the onset and aftermath of the Romantic school. One cannot get away from the October Revolution, Rachmaninoff and his family felt beauty and melodic line of the themes and their logical compelled to emigrate. ‘Everything around me makes it development. As did Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff uses the impossible for me to work’, he wrote to his cousin and fellow instruments of the orchestra to their fullest effect.

The nature of Germany’s past and present requires nothing less than an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of German society and culture. Within its research and public affairs programs, the analysis of Germany’s intellectual and cultural traditions and debates has always been central to the Institute’s work.

IIJ and the NHK Symphony Orchestra to Stream Hi-Res Audio Performances
For Immediate Release IIJ and the NHK Symphony Orchestra to Stream Hi-Res Audio Performances --This technological partnership is the first hi-res streaming of NHKSO concerts, confirming the feasibility of regular streaming services-- TOKYO—April 28, 2017—Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, and the NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo, (NHKSO) today announced that they are making hi-res recordings of the public performances of “The Meidensha 120th Anniversary | NHKSO Afternoon Classic Series” that are being held in April, May, and June 2017. They will then make these recordings available for on-demand streaming starting on May 19, 2017. This is the first time that performances of the NHKSO—a prominent orchestra in Japan—will be streamed in hi-res audio. IIJ will record three matinee performances at the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall in hi-res audio, using DSD 5.6 MHz (*1) and PCM 96 kHz / 24 bit (*2) formats. These recordings will be available for free and on demand as programs on IIJ's hi-res streaming service, PrimeSeat (*3). At the same time, IIJ will stream on-demand videos of the concerts for multiple devices, including PCs and smartphones. High-resolution audio formats—including the popular DSD and PCM systems—faithfully reproduce analog sound without compression, allowing listeners to enjoy the immersive, high-quality acoustic experience of a concert hall right in their homes. After evaluating this project's technological partnership for hi-res audio streaming, IIJ and the NHKSO will consider expanding the number of concerts they stream, to deliver even more NHKSO performances in high-quality audio to customers living room. -

Norman Bolter
Norman Bolter Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Norman Bolter was first inspired to play the trombone when, at age four, he saw the Captain Kangaroo television show character, "Mr. Greenjeans," play the same instrument. Mr. Bolter began his formal trombone studies at age nine with Ed VonHoff of the St. Paul Public School System. Later, he studied with Ronald Rickets and Steven Zellmer of the Minnesota Orchestra and with John Swallow at the New England Conservatory. Mr. Bolter is very thankful to these teachers and to former BSO principal bassoonist, Sherman Walt, not only for their technical and musical assistance but also for their encouragement and nurturance of his love of music and trombone playing. A Tanglewood Fellow and C. D. Jackson Award winner, Mr. Bolter joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1975 at age 20, becoming the youngest member of the orchestra at that time. As well, he is principal trombonist of the Boston Pops Orchestra and was a founding member of the Empire Brass Quintet, which won the prestigious Walter H. Naumberg Award in Chamber Music, the first brass ensemble ever to win this award. Mr. Bolter has appeared, as a member of the Boston Pops Orchestra, on the televised PBS favorite "Evening at Pops" with Arthur Fiedler, John Williams and Keith Lockhart as conductors. He has toured extensively in the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America with the BSO, the Pops and the Empire Brass and has made many recordings with them. He also appears as principal trombonist on recordings with Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine. Furthermore, Mr.
