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. -
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. -

Laurence Equilbey Announces Insula Orchestra's First Season at Their New
Laurence Equilbey announces Insula orchestra’s first season at their new home La Seine Musicale with further multi-media stagings of Beethoven’s Egmont and Mozart’s Thamos, King of Egypt, plus a celebration of Louise Farrenc at the Barbican for International Women’s Day Opening of Season in Paris - 21 & 22 September Theater an der Wien, Vienna – 15 December Beethoven/Goethe Egmont (staged by Séverine Chavrier) La Seine Musicale Paris - 16 & 17 February Barbican, London – 8 March Louise Farrenc and International Women’s Day Celebration La Seine Musicale, Paris - 22 – 26 June Festival Mozart Maximum with Mozart Thamos, King of Egypt Laurence Equilbey announces Insula orchestra’s first season at their critically-acclaimed new home La Seine Musicale celebrating the multi- media capabilities of their Shigeru Ban-designed concert hall to their full potential. The season opens with a rarely staged version of Goethe’s play Egmont with musical interludes by Beethoven directed by Séverine Chavrier on 21 and 22 September, which will tour to Vienna in December. Opened in spring, Insula orchestra’s 1,150-seater concert hall at La Seine Musicale was met with enthusiasm by audiences and press. Equilbey’s mission is to reform the entire experience of classical music with bite-size, multi-media concerts, flash-mobs and themed weekends with Insula orchestra and by programming guest performances. Neue Zuricher Zeitung’s reaction to “the promised This is the future” was “it was difficult to contradict, but in the south-west of Paris there was not only another fabulous concert hall, but the first evening demonstrated with a lightness of touch how good old classical music can look like today.” (Christian Berzins). -

Stiftelsen Hjördis Schymbergs Minnesfond förvaltas av Stiftelsen Kungliga Teaterns Solister. Malin Hartelius, som är född i Malmö och uppvuxen i Tingsryd, är en av Sveriges främsta operasångerskor med en framgångsrik internationell karriär, inte minst i de tyskspråkiga länderna.

Efter fast engagemang pà Wiener Staatsoper 1990-91 ingår hon i den fasta ensemblen vid operan i Zürich. 1990 gjorde hon debut som Blondchen i Mozarts Enleveringen ur Seraljen vid festspelen i Ludwigsburg, en roll som hon också gjorde året därpå vid festspelen i Schwetzingen samt i Salzburg 1997. Till höjdpunkterna i början pà karriären räknas konserterna med John Elliot Gardiner under Bach-året, engagemang vid festspelen i Salzburg, rollen som Marzelline i Beethovens Fidelio vid Bayerische Staatsoper, Sophie i Rosenkavaljeren på Wiener Staatsoper och den kvinnliga huvudrollen i Schuberts Alfonso och Estrella i Zürich. Under de gångna säsongerna har Malin Hartelius samarbetat med Accademia Santa Cecilia, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Bayerska radions orkester, Tonhalle-orkestern i Zürich och Cleveland Orchestra. Hon blev också återinbjuden till Bastiljoperan, Bayerische Staatsoper och Wiener Staatsoper. Bland aktuella roller kan nämnas Adina i Kärleksdrycken, Grevinnan i Mozarts Figaros bröllop, Donna Elvira i Don Giovanni, Fiordiligi i Cosi fan tutte och Armida i Händels Rinaldo – alla på Zürichoperan. -

«Jauchzet Gott in Allen Landen» Kantate Von Johann Sebastian Bach Für Sopran
«Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen» Kantate von Johann Sebastian Bach für Sopran Wenn ich zurück denke, gab es keine Zeit in meinem Leben, in der ich nicht gesungen habe. Schon als kleines Kind habe ich leidenschaftlich gerne gesungen und diese Leiden- schaft erfüllt mich bis heute. Dass sie auch zur Berufung wurde und dann zum Beruf, erfüllt mich mit grosser Dankbarkeit! Nach vielen Jahren auf internationalen Bühnen durf- te ich zu Weihnachten auch in unserer Kirche singen, was mich sehr gefreut hat. Seit drei Jahren wohnen wir nun hier in Küsnacht und fühlen uns sehr wohl. Wenn ich diese Zeilen schreibe, hoffe ich, dass es Ihnen allen gut geht und dass Sie trotz dieser speziellen und herausfordernden Coronasituation eine erfüllte Zeit erleben können. Ich bin gesund und verbringe, wie alle, die meiste Zeit zu Hause. Auftritte gibt es keine, die Hochschule, in der ich unterrichte, ist geschlossen. Meine Gesangsstudierende kann ich jedoch via Internet (Skype) unterrichten. Es ist interessant und erfreulich festzustellen, dass wir, obwohl wir getrennt bleiben sollen, trotzdem mehr Nähe zu einander empfinden. Als könne Nichts der seelischen Nähe im Weg sein. Wir mögen zwar leiblich eingeschränkt sein, aber unser Seele und Geist lassen sich nicht einschränken und so können wir täglich neu aufbrechen, um Neues erleben und entdecken. Zum Beispiel können wir Neues entdecken in Erinnerungen und Erlebtem: Es beschäftigt mich sehr, wie mir «vor Corona» vieles so selbstverständlich war; plötzlich ist alles an- ders, nichts mehr ist selbstverständlich. Ich beziehe mich wieder aufs Singen: Wie selbstverständlich war es mit einem vollen Terminkalender, wo ein Konzert schöner als das andere sich ablöste, an vielen spannenden Orten, mit vielen spannenden Kollegen, wunderbarem Publikum etc. -

On these two The Christmas Oratorio: 14 occasions the concert hall did not want a complete performance and the Of Sacred and Secular Praise choice was left to us which movements to leave out.
