AMICA International Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association Honor Roll Julius Burger From the AMICA, V14, No 6, Aug 1977: Information has been received recently describing in more detail the career of Julius Burger, one of Ampico's celebrated recording artists. His recordings were made inconjunction with Milton Suskind, and together they recorded several fine duets such as-: "Pique Dame" by von Suppe, "Sakuntala Overture" by Goldmark, "Symphony, G Minor" by Mozart, and several others.Mr. Burger was born in Vienna in 1397. A great part of his adult life has been spent with the Metropolitan Opera Company where he served as the assistant conductor. He started at the Met in 1924 when Artur Bodanzky was the chief conductor of the German repertoire. Bodanzky, incidentally, conducted Suskind and Burger when they recorded their four-hand arrangements for the Ampico. From 1927 to 1933 Mr. Burger was engaged in Berlin where he worked with Otto Klemperer. He left Berlin in 1933 and until 1939 was anorchestrator for the British Broadcasting Company in London, after which he emigrated to the United States. He returned to the Metropolitan where he remained until retirement in 1967. He has had the good fortune to coach many famous singers: Lauritz Melchior studied his famous Tristan with Mr. Burger; he toured with the celebrated Schumann-Heink in 1926 and has wonderful memories of these and other great artists. He says he will never forget with what great feeling Madame Schumann-Heink sang the Wiegenlied by Brahms at the time she was 65! Julius Burger still plays the piano quite well, but modestly says he never was a virtuoso. He admits to having enjoyed his life and maybe even more so now than before. His life-long hobby is music and for that to fill it out he says he would need two lives. .

The origins of this name are uncertain, though some Celtic roots have been suggested. It is possible that the name is ultimately Germanic, perhaps from a hypothetic name like Ishild, composed of the elements is "ice" and hild "battle". http://www.behindthename.com/name/isolde Tristan und Isolde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_und_Isolde Tristan und Isolde From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tristan und Isolde ( Tristan and Isolde , or Tristan and Isolda , or Tristran and Ysolt ) is an opera, or music drama, in three acts by Richard Wagner to a German libretto by the composer, based largely on the romance by Gottfried von Strassburg. It was composed between 1857 and 1859 and premiered at the Königliches Hof- und Nationaltheater in Munich on 10 June 1865 with Hans von Bülow conducting. Wagner referred to the work not as an opera, but called it "eine Handlung" (literally a drama , a plot or an action ), which was the equivalent of the term used by the Spanish playwright Calderón for his dramas. Wagner's composition of Tristan und Isolde was inspired by the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer (particularly The World as Will and Representation ) and Wagner's affair with Mathilde Wesendonck. Widely acknowledged as one of the peaks of the operatic repertoire, Tristan was notable for Wagner's unprecedented use of chromaticism, tonality, orchestral colour and harmonic suspension.
