LEONARD BERNSTEIN Unitel Gmbh & Co LEONARD BERNSTEIN Leonard Bernstein, a long-time exclusive artist of Unitel, was America’s ambassador to the world of music. He was one of the most influential musicians of the last century and inspired an entire generation. An influential teacher, a brilliant conductor, a fine composer and an accomplished pianist – a man who lived five lives and who exuded passion from every pore. In addition to his role as conductor, composer, educator and performing artist, Bernstein was one of the early pioneers in bringing the arts to television. As such, he became one of the most internationally recognized musical personalities in the world. Leonard Bernstein, who died in 1990, would have celebrated his 100th birthday on August 25th 2018. Thanks to the exclusive partnership, Unitel presents today around 200 programmes with and about Leonard Bernstein, among them 27 new episodes of his world famous TV series Young People’s Concerts and the two operas Tristan und Isolde, by Richard Wagner, and A Quiet Place, by Bernstein himself. The range goes from the legendary recordings of Bernstein’s Mahler and Beethoven Cycles to West Side Story – The Making of a Recording and the historic performance of the Ode to Freedom following the fall of the Berlin Wall, from Bernstein’s rehearsals in Salzau to the intimate portraits Larger than Life, Reaching for the Note and The Gift of Music.

  • 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.

Then, suddenly, the orchestra "vehemently burst[s] out" fortissimo in a final attempt at salvation.

  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

  • The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M
    The Blake Collection In Memory of Nancy M. Blake BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

K a l i s c h (Adliswil) Angesichts der zahlreichen Mahlerliteratur scheint es eher f.rag­ wilrdig, d~eser einen weiteren Aufsatz hinzuzufiigen.

Allein ein Blick in die veroffen­ tlichte Mahler-Literatur (1siehe das umfassende Verzeichnis der Von­ denhoffs) liiBt den Interess;ierten dariiber erstaunen, wie widerspriich­ lich und teilweise unvollstandig die Aneignung des Mahlerschen Ouevres in dessen Rezeptionsgeschichte vonstatten g1egangen ist. Die Kindertotenlieder sind ein solches Beispiel.1 Merkwilrdig um so mehr, aLs es geniigend Autoren gibt, die sich darum bemiihen, die Bedeutung der Kinderto:tenlieder zwar zu unterstreichen,2 aber den Beweis dafiir 1schuldig bleiben. Hinzu kommt, daB der Zeitgeschmack eher unvexstiindig auf Mahlers Wahl der Rilckertschen Lyrik reagiert, zumal Mahler als auBerordentlich literaturbelesen eingeschiitzt wird, Rilckert aber sicherlich heute nicht unter den »ganz GmBen« rangiert.3 Der VerweiJs auf »groBte Kiontrolle durch den kompositorischen Ver­ stand«4 vermag den angedeuteten Verdacht, Mahler wollte sich viel­ leicht in dem bedeutungsvollen Jahr 1901 (schwere Krankheit, Urauf­ fiihrung von »Da:s klagende Lied« und der »Vierten Symphonie«, Rilcktritt von der Leitung der Philharmonischen Abonnementskonzer­ te, Begegnung mit Alma Schindler, Beginn der Komposition der »Fiinf Rilckert-Lieder«, »Filnften Symphonie« und »Kindertotenlieder«; ge- * An dieser Stelle mochte ich Herrn Prof. Dr. U.
