    110988 bk Menuhin 19/07/2004 11:42am Page 4 Ward Marston ADD In 1997 Ward Marston was nominated for the Best Historical Album Grammy Award for his production work on Great Violinists • Menuhin 8.110988 BMG’s Fritz Kreisler collection. According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four MOZART decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Violin Sonatas In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies. Now he is bringing his distinctive sonic vision to bear on works released on the Naxos Historical label. Ultimately his goal is to make the music he remasters sound as natural as possible and true to life by ‘lifting the voices’ off his old 78 rpm K. 376 and K. 526 recordings. His aim is to promote the importance of preserving old recordings and make available the works of great musicians who need to be heard.

  • A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

  • The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, Music Director & Conductor Peter Serkin, Piano
    PETER LIEBERSON New World Records 80325 Piano Concerto The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, music director & conductor Peter Serkin, piano Peter Lieberson was born in New York City on October 25, 1946; he lives in Newton Center, Massachusetts, and is currently teaching at Harvard. His Piano Concerto is one of twelve works commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial in 1981. From the beginning the piano solo part was intended for Peter Serkin, who gave the first performance with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on April 21, 1983, in Symphony Hall, Boston. The youngest of the 12 composers commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial, Peter Lieberson grew up in a family where music was ubiquitous. Both his parents were important figures in the artistic world. His father, Goddard Lieberson, himself a trained composer, was perhaps best known as the most influential record-company executive in the artistic world. Peter's mother, under the stage name Vera Zorina, was a ballerina with the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo and later with George Balanchine, before she became known as a specialist in spoken narration. Through a job at New York's classical music radio station WNCN, Lieberson came to know Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson. But the crucial connection came when Copland invited Milton Babbitt to do a program. Until that time the major influence on Lieberson's music was Stravinsky. Now he began to study informally with Babbitt. At Babbitt's suggestion Lieberson chose Columbia when he decided to pursue graduate studies; there he worked with Charles Wuorinen (the third of his three principal teachers would be Donald Martino, with whom he studied at Brandeis University).

From Saratoga, New York, the Post Star described her playing as “brilliant, focused and impassioned – exceptional.” The Philadelphia Inquirer reviewed Ms. Cole’s performance at the Mozart- on-the-Square Chamber Music Series as “providing firm, accurate and spirited leadership – her sense of timing and sound (are) musical indeed.” Equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra leader, Cole has appeared at major music centers in more than 22 countries and 25 U.S.

    right, in the face of countless moments which evidence the contrary, to find that, of the two, only Adolf could "express the feminine elements in music." None of this, nor the unavoidably utilitarian production of the book, with a rather unattractive typeface, will deter the enthusiast from obtaining this work which augurs well for the author's biography of his subject. Christopher Dyment The only notice that I have yet seen for Tully Potter's Adolf Busch is a listing in The Gramophone's classified ads. It seemed to be one of those brave but dubious projects that come out of the world of self-publishing, far from the gimlet eye of the editor and the constraints of commerce. Increasing my distrust was the fact that the book was being sold for a mere six bucks American--which in a display of mad fatalism I sent across the ocean as naked cash. About two months later the book arrived, and I am happy to report that my lack of faith was utterly unfounded. Indeed, the work promises in its acknowledgements and delivers in fact the richest gathering of material about Busch from the widest array of authoritative sources that I have ever encountered. Among those consulted are a good per­ centage of the (still living) major musicians with connec­ tions to the man and his art: Rudolf Serkin (the dedicatee), Yehudi Menuhin, Artur Balsam, Eugene Istomin, Paul Doktor, Antal Dora ti, August Wenzinger, (the late) Reginald Kell, and many others. A good many familiar figures from the world of recordings and sound archives are also included among the sources--Richard Warren, Barbara Sawka, Thomas Clear, Leo Mack, Fred Maroth, Thomas Heinitz--as well as all the rele­ vant institutional sources and, of course, a large number of family members, students and friends--and such was the char­ acter of Adolf Busch that the last group included Sir Isaiah Berlin, Sir Ernest Gombrich, and Sir Karl Popper among the many friends thanked in the acknowledgements.
