ARSC Journal
A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers. -
Overture to Oberon Composed from 1825-26 Carl Maria Von Weber Born in Eutin, Germany, November 18, 1786 Died in London, June 5
OVERTURE TO OBERON COMPOSED FROM 1825-26 CARL MARIA VON WEBER BORN IN EUTIN, GERMANY, NOVEMBER 18, 1786 DIED IN LONDON, JUNE 5, 1826 The tragic tale of the composition of Weber’s final opera Oberon is perhaps as interesting as the plot of the opera itself. Dying of consumption at the age of 38, the impoverished Weber felt he could not refuse the offer from English impresario Charles Kemble to compose an opera on the subject of Oberon, King of the Faeries, for the London stage— even though he sensed that the project would be the death of him. “Whether I travel or not, in a year I’ll be a dead man,” he wrote to a friend after he had completed the Oberon score, of his decision to make the trip to England to see the work through to performance. “But if I do travel, my children will at least have something to eat, even if Daddy is dead—and if I don’t go they’ll starve. What would you do in my position?” Both points of Weber’s prediction proved correct: The 12 initial performances of Oberon netted his family a great deal of money; and within a few weeks of the work’s successful premiere in April 1826, the composer collapsed of exhaustion and died. Though the composition of operas had always been the center of Weber’s existence, it was not until the last six years of his life that he had finally been given the opportunity to compose the three stage works that quickly took their place among the masterworks of Romanticism: Der Freischütz, Euryanthe, and Oberon. -

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. -

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose. -

Lifestyle Academia 2016
Lifestyle Academia 2016 Opera workshops for children and young adults | 28th Academia is on the horizon Once again this year, the organisers of Academia Vocalis have managed to bring international stars to Wörgl. And they're expecting another successful project. A new children's opera, by children and for children and young adults, in which the pranks of Max and Moritz are developed into a new production in the style of Wil- helm Busch, will be presented to the public in a professional performance in September 2016. Under the overall coordination of Maria Knoll-Madersbacher, the stars of tomorrow have the opportunity to demonstrate their talent in the new children's opera "Max & Moritz in Wörgl", in performances in Wörgl and Erl from September 9th to 18th, 2016. This new project comes after the sensational success of the 2008/2009 opera version of "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. The libretto for the new Max & Moritz opera has al- ready been written (Walter Hohenauer, Wörgl). The composition will be done by young Wörgl talent Christian Spitzenstätter. Rehearsals started at the last JUKI opera workshop and will continue – after a casting in Octo- ber 2016 – throughout the entire year. Experienced professionals work with the children under the direction of Maria Knoll-Madersbacher. The premiere will take place on September 9th, 2016, in an evening performance at VZ Komma in Wörgl, and culminate in two performances in the Erl festival hall. Stars of yesterday and today Academia promises a lot. From July 29th to August 5th, 2016, Univ. Prof. Karlheinz Hanser will once again be holding the master course "The voice as an instrument". -

__________________________________________________________________________ 2 MUSIKSTUNDE mit Trüb Freitag, 15. 2. 2013 „Weber, Wald und Wolfsschluchzen: Das Theatergenie Carl Maria von“ (5) MUSIK: INDIKATIV, NACH CA. … SEC AUSBLENDEN Carl Maria von Weber war ein Komponist der Zukunft. Zeitlebens genoss er kein besonders hohes Ansehen innerhalb der „Zunft“ - aber die Nachgeborenen verehren ihn. In seinen Memoiren etwa schrieb Héctor Berlioz: „Der Komponist hat den kindischen Forderungen der Mode und den noch gebieterischeren Forderungen der Sängereitelkeit (…) nirgends auch nur im geringsten nachgegeben. Er hat seine schlichte Wahrhaftigkeit, seine stolze Ursprünglichkeit, seinen Hass gegen den Formelkram, seine Würde dem Publikum gegenüber, dessen Beifall er durch keine feige Herablassung erkaufen wollte, seine Größe ebenso im Freischütz wie im Oberon bewahrt.“ Robert Schumann fand im Weber'schen Oeuvre „alles höchst geistreich und meisterhaft“, Tschaikowsky hörte vor allem „(viel) Wärme, (…) Unmittelbarkeit der Eingebung, (vollständiges) Fehlen von Künstelei und technischer Anstrengung“. Claude Debussy meinte: „Er erforscht die Seele der einzelnen Instrumente und legt sie mit behutsamer Hand bloß. Sie offenbaren sich ihm und geben ihm mehr, als er gefordert hatte.“ Und im Gespräch mit Erwin Kroll, anno 1932, verriet Strawinsky lapidar: „Weber ist einer meiner Lieblingskomponisten.“ Nicht zu vergessen auch die Hommage der Tat: Gustav Mahler bewunderte Weber so sehr, dass er dessen Opernfragment „Die drei Pintos“ bis zur Bühnenreife bearbeitete, und Paul Hindemith schuf eines seiner bekanntesten Orchesterstücke nach Webers Schauspielmusik zu „Turandot“: Sinfonische Metamorphosen über Themen von Carl Maria von Weber. MUSIK: HINDEMITH, SINF. METAMORPHOSEN, TRACK 5 (3:54) Schönste Form des Komplimentes: das liebevoll umspielte Zitat. Herbert Blomstedt dirigierte das San Francisco Symphony Orchestra mit dem Beginn von Paul Hindemiths Sinfonischen Metamorphosen über Themen von Carl Maria von Weber. -
