Two years ago, the Musical Marathon was held the weekend immedi- ately preceding the running of the Boston Marathon, and the BSO Marathon's premium T-shirts, shorts, and sweatshirt proved particularly timely. The Boston Marathon follows hard on the heels of our Marathon again this year, and the Marathon Committee anticipates a good deal of interest in its expanded selection of exclusive, athletically- oriented BSO premiums. For example, there's the terry-lined, velcro-fastened navy wristband with zipper com- partment and BSO colophon imprint. Or white shoelaces with a pattern of blue musical notes may help speed you along. This year brings the return of the classical BSO T-shirt in navy with beige colophon, as well as a colorful child's T-shirt with a specially designed logo in red, blue, and green. And you can keep yourself safe with this year's new fluorescent orange reflecting BSO/WCRB "Flash Sash." Also among the offerings are a navy crewneck sweatshirt with beige colophon and, new this year, navy BSO sweatpants with beige colophon on the left hip. You may want to carry your gear in this year's BSO "Round the World" totebag. And finally, for some after-running refreshment, the BSO's new wine tote, complete with corkscrew, and listing on its navy label some "Vintage BSO" world-premiere performances, may come in particularly handy! "Art in Support of Art" The Fine Arts Committee of the BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon '82 is happy to announce that, from 6 April through 30 April, "ART IN SUPPORT OF ART/' an exhibition of painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, and photography, will be on view at Symphony Hall during all concert hours and by appointment. For more information on this wide-ranging exhibition, please call the Marathon Office in Symphony Hall at 266-1492, ext. 230. An exhibition catalogue will be available early this month. Since all proceeds from the exhibition benefit the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra, staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteer supporters are greatly indebted to the many artists, sculptors, photographers, galleries, and collectors who have so generously donated their work to the 1982 Musical Marathon. BSOonWGBH Continuing his series of live interviews with BSO guest artists and personalities, Robert J. Lurtsema talks with noted Haydn specialist, conductor Antal Dorati, on Monday morn- ing, 5 April at 11 on WGBH-FM-89.7's Morning Pro Musica. 'Presidents at Pops" A very special night at Pops, and a first for the BSO, is being planned by a committee of business leaders, BSO Trustees, and Overseers. Designed to solidify and broaden the relationship between the BSO and the business community, it will make possible corporate support of the BSO and, at the same time, the establishment of new business contacts, the honoring of employees and spouses, or the conclusion of a company business meeting with a pleasant evening. This "Presidents at Pops" Concert will be held on 15 June 1982 with an outstanding program and gourmet picnic. Tickets will be sold as a "package" to include two adjoining Pops floor tables of five seats each and ten balcony seats. In addition there will be a Presidents Dinner, an elegant and fun evening at Symphony Hall on 10 May 1982 for 100 Presidents of supporting companies who will be guests of the BSO. So far, more than ninety businesses in the greater Boston area have agreed to sponsor "Presidents at Pops" at $3,000 each, but a total of 100 is needed for an absolute sell-out. Many business volunteers are active, but chief among them are Chet Krentzman of Advanced Management Associates,- Malcolm L. Sherman, executive vice president, Zayre Corp.; Vincent O'Reilly, managing partner, Coopers & Lybrand,- and J.P Barger, president, Dynatech Corp. For details, contact any of the foregoing or Frank Pemberton, Director of Corporate Development, in the Symphony Hall Development Office, (617) 266-1492. 'Opening Night at Pops'7 For the eighth consecutive year, the Junior Council of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will sponsor "Opening Night at Pops," this year marking the opening of the Boston Pops 1982 season with John Williams beginning his third year as Pops conductor. The evening, to take place on Tuesday, 4 May in Symphony Hall, begins with cocktails at 5:30, followed by supper at 6:30 and the concert at 8:00.

    Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

  • Paul Meissen

    Paul Meissen

    Paul Meissen 19. Oktober 1933 Hamburg First Contact with Karl Richter If I remember rightly, I met Karl Richter for the first time in Hamburg. My studies had led me from Detmold to the State Music Chapel in Karlsruhe, Baden. After 2 1/2 years in Karlsruhe I joined the Philharmonic State Orchestra in Hamburg. I believe it was in 1956 in Hamburg that we performed the Brandenburg Concerts from Johann Sebastian Bach in two concerts. During this time I was also called upon to take part in just this performance with just this Chamber Orchestra; and that was when I met Karl Richter for the first time. This arrangement with Hamburg was, as far as Richter was concerned, supposed to develop further, but it never took place more than this one time. He was certainly disappointed that most of the orchestra members also played in other Chamber Orchestras and he never felt that they afforded him their central point of interest. And I believe I was the only one from this formation that he always called from Hamburg to Munich. Richters Music-making with the Choir The vitality and amplitude of sound of the Chamber Orchestra appealed to me from the very beginning. At a second meeting in Ansbach with the choir, I was fascinated by their liveliness and there was something else too that I had never experienced before, was the way that Richter, as conductor had to slow down the tempi of the choir. Sometimes he had to put the brakes on very hard so that the choir would not whiz off without him.

    NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY CHORUS LORNA COOKE Devaron, Conductor

    NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY CHORUS LORNA COOKE deVARON, conductor MALCOLM PEYTON THE BLESSED VIRGIN COMPARED TO THE AIR WE BREATHE MALCOLM PEYTON (b. 1932, New York City) began early music training with piano and trumpet lessons and later continued piano studies with Edward Steuerman in New York. He studied composition with Edward Cone and Roger Sessions at Princeton University and with Wolfgang Fortner while on a Fulbright Fellowship in Germany. At present (1982) he is Acting Chairman of the composition department at the New England Conservatory where he has been teaching since 1965. He writes: "The initial idea for THE BLESSED VIRGIN COMPARED TO THE AIR WE BREATHE came with the words which appear near the end of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem: 'Stir in my ears, Speak there'. I composed the ending and thereafter found my way back to the beginning. A fantasy that the music already existed, and was therefore to be discovered, was vivid with me at the time. The piece was written in 1972 for the New England Conservatory Chorus and for Lorna Cooke deVaron, to whom it is dedicated." ROBERT CEELY FLEE FLORET FLORENS ROBERT CEELY (b. 1930, Torrington, CT) cast aside early interests in ventriloquism in favor of music as he studied trumpet and played in youth bands, orchestras, and jazz groups. Mr. Ceely was educated at Hobart College, Williams College, the New England Conservatory, Mills College, Princeton University, and the University of Perugia in Italy. His principal composition teachers were Francis Cooke, Darius Milhaud and Roger Sessions. Since 1967 he has taught at the New England Conservatory where he is also Director of the Electronic Music Studio.

  • Decca Discography

    Decca Discography

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century.
