Here is a symbol both of the confident command of the conductor and his respect for the artist which have given Koussevitzky a place virtually unique in modern music. That anomaly among imaginative creators, a perfectionist who has seen his perfection achieved, he has made the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra during the twenty-five years of conductorship an unbelievably women unified^ flexible and beautiful instrument. He has brought to the West the im- who peccable musicianship of Europe. And know he has brought something else which is close to the American heart, something and that he may have learned in his younger days when he carried a symphony or- appreciate chestra by river steamer to remote parts of Russia: a deep faith in the creative fine musical capacity of a great people. It is safe to say that no one man has done things • • . more than Koussevitzky to befriend and develop the modern American composer Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, Walter Piston and a host of others; no one man has built a more enduring musical institution in America than the Berk- shire Festival and School of Music. Mr. President, I have the honor to present Serge Koussevitzky for the de- gree of Doctor of Humanities. President Holt: Serge Koussevitzky, surpassing musi- cian, not only as one of the greatest masters in musical history of that diffi- cult instrument, the double bass, but Boston also as the presiding genius over an in- comparable orchestra, you have won the Providence right to America's enduring gratitude. Wellesley For your consummate artistry as a con- T999] ductor, for the fruitful vigor of your en- couragement to young American com- posers and for the vision which led you to create at "Tanglewood" a great cen- anaier s ter for the enrichment of the most uni- Cnandl versal of the seven arts, Rollins College Tremont and West Streets is proud to confer on you the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humanities, and admit you to all its rights and privileges. EXHIBITION Spring . Eric Gill There are now on exhibition in the a Gallery a collection of wood-engravings and by Eric Gill and seven cartoons by Jobic Duvivier for frescoes never ac- tually executed. There are in all eight charming pictures, among these four of the mira- cles of Christ and four of the parables. The wood-engravings of Eric Gill hat show in a few selected examples the graphic work of this master stone-cutter and craftsman. Gill refused to recognize any difference between artist and crafts- . synonymous man, and always preferred to think of himself as the latter. His earliest train- in women's minds! ing, after a brief apprenticeship in archi- tecture, was in lettering, and from 1901 he began to gain recognition in England as an inscription cutter. Lettering on stone and wood led to additions like Our Millinery Salon right armorial bearings, and other decorative devices, and so Gill naturally turned now is a place of enchant- to the designing of book-plates, head and ment!

In that year he began to work for the Golden Cockerel Press, urals through to glisten- and this association resulted in a notable ing black! series of illustrations. It also marked a change in his graphic style. Whereas much of his independent work had been MILLINERY SALON wood-engraving which, when printed, showed a white line on a black back- SECOND FLOOR ground, his new publishers objected that this was not suitable for combination with type. Gill accordingly gave up this kind of illustration and concentrated more upon black-line design on a white [ 1000 ] ground. Some of his most successful illustrations are here exhibited, such as the series for the "Song of Songs" (1925), the "Song of the Soul" (1927) and the "Passion of SS. Perpetua and Felicitas." An interesting discovery resulted from Gill's attempt to turn away from white-line design on black. He found that wood-engravings could be printed like copper plates — the ink rubbed into the engraved line and the surface wiped clean. The advantage is that, as in metal- plate engraving, the design stands out in black line. And with careful wiping of the block, the grain of the wood can be made to give a pleasing surface tone to the background of the print. Some of Gill's designs, therefore, exist in two types of impression: relief-printing in white line, and intaglio printing in black line, both from the same block. A comparison of the two is most interest- ing. No reference to Eric Gill is complete without mention of his devout Catholi- cism, and this explains why so much of his work is religious in subject matter. It was Gill's conviction, as stated in his writings, that Religion, Love and Art are inseparable, and that to re- veal absolute beauty is the task of every artist. R. S.

But Mr. Britten himself, it seems, has promised the first performance to Serge Koussevitzky. We have received a copy of a letter the composer wrote the con- ductor in November. Calling it "my latest child, your 'Spring Symphony'," he wrote: "I am hopeful that it will be done in time for you to play the work in April.

  • 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.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Mahler's Das Lied Von Der Erde
    Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde - A survey of the main post-WW2 recordings by Ralph Moore There are probably at least a hundred and fifty post-WW2 recordings of Das Lied von der Erde; I have selected thirty-five of those here, of which the majority are studio recordings and fourteen are live. This is a work that can get under the skin and aficionados can find themselves obsessively collecting multiple versions - of which there are many worthy to feed their obsession. My chosen recordings feature only the full orchestral version with a mezzo-soprano/contralto and tenor soloist, as I find the tenor and baritone combination to be lacking in tonal contrast and variety, and contrary to the spirit of Mahler’s work - even if he did sanction it if the preferred contralto is unavailable. That hardly applies today, but we occasionally see the deliberate choice of a male duo. I see little artistic excuse or aesthetic rationale behind that option, still less for Jonas Kaufmann’s self-aggrandising – and not very successful - exercise of singing both the tenor and baritone parts. Nor have I included recordings of the chamber arrangement. Some sixty recordings of the full orchestral version have been made over the last forty years; over half of those are live, as are the majority of the more recent versions, as the age of studio recordings is now essentially over just as the work itself is becoming increasingly popular and more frequently scheduled in concert programmes. Finally, my decision to treat only of post-war recordings is based simply on the criterion of wanting decent sound, but also absolves me from the necessity of discussing the live performance in Amsterdam featuring the infamous "Deutschland über alles, Herr Schuricht" incident.

  • Così Fan Tutte: a Review of the Discography by Ralph Moore The
    Così fan tutte: A Review of the Discography by Ralph Moore The opera discography CLOR lists 116 recordings of Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti (variously translated as “Thus do all women, or, the School for Lovers”, or even “All Women are Like That”) but does not include the latest studio recording. I know of twenty-four studio recordings in Italian of which I review below twenty-one below plus a limited selection of nine live - and live composite - recordings. I have not reviewed the two English versions as they are for a more limited market and this is surely an opera that must be heard in the original Italian libretto, so skilfully devised by Lorenzo Da Ponte. I have been unable to hear three studio recordings: two from the 50’s (Joseph Dünnwald 1951 and Rudolf Moralt 1955) and one made in Monte Carlo in 1974 conducted by Pierre Colombo but I think it unlikely that any of those is essential, as by all accounts they are all flawed in some way. The earliest under review is the classic 1935 Glyndebourne recording under Fritz Busch; the most recent is by Currentzis in 2015 – and the less said about that the better. Despite the claims of Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro, Così remains my personal favourite of Mozart’s Big Three, for reason of its virtually uninterrupted stream of heavenly music and the subtle ironies of its plotline, which, as some modern productions have demonstrated, is by no means as clunkingly sexist as its detractors suggest, even allowing for the differences between late 18C and early 21C sensibilities and attitudes towards women.
