Thanks, Comments, Bibliography I knew that my Russian pronunciation was going to embarrass me — I would be ashamed to show my face in public. Fortunately, Joe Zarett kept that from happening. Now it’s merely bad. My review board, Stacy Dutton, Al Lesitsky and Stan Scordilis, did their usual wonderful work. The difficulty for them was compounded this time by having to work under a severe deadline. My old friend, Ed Cohen, tolerated my ranting and raving about Tchaikovsky (as I referred to it on the ‘phone) for weeks. Familiar with deadlines himself, he was supportive in the extreme. I don’t know how Connie, my first listener, stands these projects. At least this time she loves the music. When I was fifteen, I loved Tchaikovsky; but by the time I was twenty-five I had fallen out of love. I would almost always enjoy concerts of his music, but I kept thinking that it was really de trop. When Bob Hennessy, my father-in-law, died I inherited his library of chamber music cd’s. Among them were all Tchaikovsky’s chamber works except the Sextet, Souvenir de Florence. Playing them, I realized how wonderful these pieces were. I had always known how accomplished he was, the most professional of professional composers, but these works were restrained. Then there were the ballets — oh, so gorgeous and so enthralling because of the technical expertise that was so subtly exercised. And, every time I heard The Philadelphia Orchestra play his music, I remembered how much I had been in love: such beautiful sounds. I’ll never be able to adequately thank the musicians. Finally, a bang-up performance of The Maid of Orléans in Washington: I was a goner: head over heels in love again. As I ponder my in and out of love affair with Tchaikovsky’s music, I’ve come to realize that part of the problem was the rationalizations as to why he wrote something. Who cares? It’s an absolute. Take it for what it is: contrapuntally flawless, instrumentally superb, harmonically ingenious, melodically seductive, structurally innovative: avant-garde! Hence this cd. I hope you like it. About a week into this I realized how ignorant I was on the generalities of music in nineteenth century Russia. David Brown’s comprehensive Tchaikovsky: A Biographical & Critical Study, W. W. Norton, NY, published in four volumes 1978, 1983, 1986, 1991 was essential. If I’d had to do all the analyses myself, I’d never have met my deadline. His are excellent. Nicolas Slonimsky’s Lexicon of Musical Invective, Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven’s Time, Univ. of Washington Press, 1965 supplied the text of the Hanslick review. Alan Lomax, The Folk Songs of North America in the English Language, Doubleday, 1960, has been on my shelf, and in my mind, for over a half century. The holes that Brown quite rationally left out of his work were filled by the New Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2nd ed., Stanley Sadie, ed., MacMillan, 1980. wikipedia.org and the imslp.org were invaluable, for I found myself frequently checking this note or that. Finally, I needed a certain piece, I had to hear it, and I could not find it: youtube.com, of course. From there it was not far to a legal recording — too bad, because the one that I found on youtube is still a better performance, but a horrible recording! I’ve tried to use Philadelphia Orchestra performances where they were available. Unfortunately, a lot of the Russian repertoire has not been recorded by the Orchestra. I’d love to have Glinka’s Kamarinskaya, but I don’t think that it exists. The wonderful Ormandy Nutcracker Suite in clip bq on track 3, is far and away the best of his several performances and probably the best that I’ve ever heard. I just recently found the 78’s.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1992 69 Sound Recording Reviews
    SOUND RECORDING REVIEWS Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First Hundred Years CS090/12 (12 CDs: monaural, stereo; ADD)1 Available only from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, 220 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, for $175 plus $5 shipping and handling. The Centennial Collection-Chicago Symphony Orchestra RCA-Victor Gold Seal, GD 600206 (3 CDs; monaural, stereo, ADD and DDD). (total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

    News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein Spring/Summer 2016 High-brow, Low-brow, All-brow Bernstein, Gershwin, Ellington, and the Richness of American Music © VICTOR © VICTOR KRAFT by Michael Barrett uch of my professional life has been spent on convincing music lovers Mthat categorizing music as “classical” or “popular” is a fool’s errand. I’m not surprised that people s t i l l c l i n g t o t h e s e d i v i s i o n s . S o m e w h o love classical masterpieces may need to feel reassured by their sophistication, looking down on popular culture as dis- posable and inferior. Meanwhile, pop music fans can dismiss classical music lovers as elitist snobs, out of touch with reality and hopelessly “square.” Fortunately, music isn’t so black and white, and such classifications, especially of new music, are becoming ever more anachronistic. With the benefit of time, much of our country’s greatest music, once thought to be merely “popular,” is now taking its rightful place in the category of “American Classics.” I was educated in an environment that was dismissive of much of our great American music. Wanting to be regarded as a “serious” musician, I found myself going along with the thinking of the times, propagated by our most rigid conservatory student in the 1970’s, I grew work that studiously avoided melody or key academic composers and scholars of up convinced that Aaron Copland was a signature. the 1950’s -1970’s. These wise men (and “Pops” composer, useful for light story This was the environment in American yes, they were all men) had constructed ballets, but not much else.

  • Tchaikovsky.Pdf
    Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day.
