The composition had been given its first per- formance early in the season by the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Or- chestra, with the composer conducting. The award for the best piece of cham- ber music was given to the “String Quar- tet” composed by Sgt. Andrew Imbrie.

  • 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.

Without their efforts, this performance would not have been possible. CENTENNIAL NOTE Robert Sirota was President of Manhattan School of Music from 2005 to 2012, during which time he also was a member of the Composition faculty. He wrote A Rush of Wings in 2008 especially for the MSM Chamber Sinfonia, which premiered the work on January 26, 2009 at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. The concert, conducted by Kenneth Kiesler, showcased the School’s Graduate Program in Orchestral Performance with faculty members playing side-by-side with students. MSM’s OP Program began in 1991 and Glenn Dicterow, then Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, was a founding faculty member.

    Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music presents Boston University Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Chorus Mendelssohn’s Elijah Ann Howard Jones conductor Monday, April 11 Symphony Hall Founded in 1872, the School of Music combines the intimacy and intensity of conservatory training with a broadly based, traditional liberal arts education at the undergraduate level and intense coursework at the graduate level. The school offers degrees in performance, composition and theory, musicology, music education, collaborative piano, historical performance, as well as a certificate program in its Opera Institute, and artist and performance diplomas. Founded in 1839, Boston University is an internationally recognized private research university with more than 32,000 students participating in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. BU consists of 17 colleges and schools along with a number of multidisciplinary centers and institutes which are central to the school’s research and teaching mission. The Boston University College of Fine Arts was created in 1954 to bring together the School of Music, the School of Theatre, and the School of Visual Arts. The University’s vision was to create a community of artists in a conservatory-style school offering professional training in the arts to both undergraduate and graduate students, complemented by a liberal arts curriculum for undergraduate students. Since those early days, education at the College of Fine Arts has begun on the BU campus and extended into the city of Boston, a rich center of cultural, artistic and intellectual activity.

  • ARSC Journal, Fall 1989 213 Sound Recording Reviews
    Sound Recording Reviews The Music and Arts Programs of America CD offers the entire broadcast program of January 19, 1952, a typical though not particularly exceptional example of Reiner's work on the radio at this time. His Bart6k "calling card" included the two Rumanian Dances in the orchestration of Leo Weiner (not Tibor Serly, as indicated). He recorded both the Debussy Suite and Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin music two days later with the same orchestra for RCA Victor, and had previously recorded Til Eulenspiegel with the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra, which included players from NBC. The gem of this present CD is the Ravel Suite, a superb reading of that composer's precise timbre and rhythmic subtlety. Possibly for legal reasons, the orchestra is labelled "The Symphony of the Air," a designation that did not appear until after Toscanini's retirement in 1954. Despite minor pitch problems, the CD transfer is acceptable for its vintage, if only because the RCA Victor recordings of the three principal works are no longer available. Of these recordings from broadcasts, the two most important by far are the Salome and the Walkilre Act II, not only for Fritz Reiner's conducting but also for their exceptional casting. In both releases, the sheer excitement generated by singers and conductor will overcome any sonic limitations. Reviewed by Philip Hart New Reiner CDs Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 (Recorded Orchestra Hall April 22, 23, 1963); Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 (Recorded Orchestra Hall May 4, 12, 1961).
