    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

    MAGNUS LINDBERG VIOLIN CONCERTO PEKKA KUUSISTO, VIOLIN & DIRECTOR JUBILEES SOUVENIR MAGNUS LINDBERG, CONDUCTOR TAPIOLA SINFONIETTA 1 Magnus Lindberg 2 nstrumental qualities have always inspired Magnus Lindberg (b. 1958). However abstract his musical ideas may Ibe and however tightly constructed their subsurface structures, his music is always instrumentally idiomatic and powerful. Often his ideas develop in an instrumental direction of their own accord; sometimes they emerge from the special properties of a particular instrument, fusing musical and instrumental innovation into a single creative act. This approach is of course heightened in concertos, which constitute an important genre in Lindberg’s output. He has written two concertos for piano (1990–94; 2012) and one each for cello (1997–99), clarinet (2001–02) and violin (2006), and other works with prominent solo parts. The Violin Concerto was written to a commission from the Lincoln Center in New York together with the Barbican Centre in London, the Casa de Música–Porto and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and was premiered at the Mostly Mozart festival in New York in August 2006. Although the commission was specifically aimed at the 250th anniversary celebration of Mozart’s birth, Lindberg did not write a tribute with Mozart elements in it. However, the situation of the premiere had an influence on the work in the way that Lindberg used a smaller orchestra than usual.
