  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • The English Concert – Biography
    The English Concert – Biography The English Concert is one of Europe’s leading chamber orchestras specialising in historically informed performance. Created by Trevor Pinnock in 1973, the orchestra appointed Harry Bicket as its Artistic Director in 2007. Bicket is renowned for his work with singers and vocal collaborators, including in recent seasons Lucy Crowe, Elizabeth Watts, Sarah Connolly, Joyce DiDonato, Alice Coote and Iestyn Davies. The English Concert has a wide touring brief and the 2014-15 season will see them appear both across the UK and abroad. Recent highlights include European and US tours with Alice Coote, Joyce DiDonato, David Daniels and Andreas Scholl as well as the orchestra’s first tour to mainland China. Harry Bicket directed The English Concert and Choir in Bach’s Mass in B Minor at the 2012 Leipzig Bachfest and later that year at the BBC proms, a performance that was televised for BBC4. Following the success of Handel’s Radamisto in New York 2013, Carnegie Hall has commissioned one Handel opera each season from The English Concert. Theodora followed in early 2014, which toured West Coast of the USA as well as the Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris and the Barbican London followed by a critically acclaimed tour of Alcina in October 2014. Future seasons will see performances of Handel’s Hercules and Orlando. The English Concert’s discography includes more than 100 recordings with Trevor Pinnock for Deutsche Grammophon Archiv, and a series of critically acclaimed CDs for Harmonia Mundi with violinist Andrew Manze. Recordings with Harry Bicket have been widely praised, including Lucy Crowe’s debut solo recital, Il caro Sassone.

Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

EDITORIAL Vol.l, no. 6 During the last few months the Society seems to have been very active.__ _ More ambitious programmes from> the branches are also in evidence, and all these activities are reported in the following pages. The Elgar Foundation series of concerts is reported, but we must also mention the brave series of performances at Hereford, when there was a great deal of music-making and much less-familiar Elgar was perform­ ed. Our thanks and congratulations to all concerned. We gather that financial results were disappointing, but the organisers should not be too disheartened, These are difficult times all over the country. and many organisations and commercial ventures meet problems which were not in evidence two or three years ago. However, the history of music shows that it usually triumphs over economic problems in the end, and the Society, we are glad to say, is in good heart, and is still growing. Music is a vital part of our lives, and Elgar's music in par­ ticular is a constant source of strength as well as a marvellous source of relaxation. Amateur and professional music-makers all help to enrich our lives, and just now it seems to me we could all do with some enrichment; RONALD TAYLOR Editor ********************************************************************** Contents Editorial page 2 Concert Diary page 16 Elgar Foundation Concerts 3 Record Reviews 17 News, S Record Launch 4 Branch Reports 21

    LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN 1770–1827 Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61 1 I Allegro ma non troppo 24.20 (Cadenza: Kreisler) 2 II Larghetto 9.01 3 III Rondo: Allegro 10.05 (Cadenza: Kreisler) 43.53 ITZHAK PERLMAN violin Philharmonia Orchestra/Carlo Maria Giulini 2 Itzhak Perlman Photo: © Christian Steiner 3 Beethoven: violin ConCerto A cornerstone of the repertoire, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61 is, as far as performers are concerned, the most perfect work of its genre. Neither showy nor demonstrative, it seeks instead to express the noblest aspirations of the human soul. It’s the ideal blueprint, a model of majesty, serenity and grandeur, its beauty never-ending. It’s also the most tranquil and poetic of all violin concertos. The slightest lapse in taste would disfigure it, the slightest hint of ostentation would be an insult. There’s nowhere for a soloist to hide: this is a work that reveals your true nature. If you manage to convey its full nobility, you join the gods on Mount Olympus; if you succeed in making a memorable recording of it, your immortality is more or less guaranteed. Itzhak Perlman is among the very select number to have achieved both. He didn’t rush into recording the noblest works in the repertoire — this concerto and Bach’s Solo Sonatas and Partitas (see volume 41) — being wise enough to wait until he had reached full maturity, in terms of both his intellect and his technical mastery of the instrument. He has recorded the Beethoven twice, and both versions are among the greatest ever set down on disc.
