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. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

There are not too many who can claim so much. Harold C. Schonherg (New York Times) That Franck's vision from this aerie was both far and high is obvious in the Préludé, Chorale and Fugue. Its model is, of MALCUZYNSKI course, Bach, as one can perceive from the figuration that A Seraphim stéréophonie recording opens the Préludé.

Bringing Classical Music Into the Future
PRESS RELEASE IDAGIO: Bringing Classical Music into the Future Classical music startup IDAGIO launches at Salzburg Festival and announces investment SALZBURG, AUSTRIA - August 5 2015 - The classical music startup IDAGIO today launches its first iOS music streaming app, as part of a platform that directly connects classical musicians and audiences. Launch partners include the Vienna Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra and the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester as well as baritone Thomas Hampson and violinist Ray Chen. Based on technology built for the special needs of classical music, users benefit from an improved user experience, including free access to an already extensive, and permanently growing, curated catalogue of recordings. As the first element of its platform, IDAGIO enables musicians to make current and future recordings available with one click. Today, many musicians and orchestras produce their recordings themselves or have recording archives that can now be made available in an uncomplicated way via a platform that takes the needs and requirements of classical music seriously. Besides an extensive hand-curated back catalogue with legendary recordings of artists such as Karajan, Bernstein, Solti, Szell, Furtwängler, Böhm, Giulini, Maria Callas, Arthur Rubinstein, and many others, IDAGIO’s launch partners contribute with own recordings under conductors such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sir Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnányi, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Lorin Maazel, Sir Charles Mackerras, Georges Prêtre, Franz Welser-Möst as well as Thomas Hampson and Ray Chen. The founder and CEO of IDAGIO, Till Janczukowicz believes that the platform model offers an immense opportunity for classical music: “Platforms facilitate access, they connect people and services directly and thus create a powerful network that is beneficial to both musicians and audiences.

Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen
Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen - A comparative survey of 18 selected cycles by Ralph Moore I do not know how exactly many Ring cycles are available but I would guess at least thirty, and I offer the following brief evaluation on the understanding that I make no claims to comprehensiveness; this is a personal survey of the eighteen cycles in my own collection. I candidly admit to having discounted several cycles from the 80’s by Haitink (1988-90), Levine (1987-90), Janowski (1980-82), Boulez (1980), as that was decidedly not a Golden Age of Wagner singing, nor have I included the recent, live cycle from Jaap van Zweden on Naxos, as I do not share the enthusiasm some MusicWeb colleagues have expressed for this set as “truly a Ring for our age”; I fear that to me that does not sound like a compliment. I have heard, even owned and then discarded them all because I honestly do not think that their casts can hold a candle to the artists in earlier recordings. Nor does their superior stereo or digital sound necessarily present any advantage, in that it only reveals even more distinctly the vocal inadequacies of the singers compared with those of the immediate post-World War II generation. When I want to hear that marvellous music, it is to recordings from the mid-50’s and 60’s in particular that I turn, because that was the era which gave us stereo sound but could also still stage a Wagner opera with stellar voices, whereas many previous recordings are superbly performed but sonically compromised by being in live mono.
