  • 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.

Such critiques are now so commonplace that it may be difficult to appreciate the opera's political edge unless it is seen against the backdrop of repression that marked the years following World War II: in an era in which a group as mainstream as the League of Women Voters was denounced as a "communist front organization," Trouble in Tahiti's criticisms risked reprisals.[1] Keywords: Musicals | Leonard Bernstein | Trouble in Tahiti | Gender | Feminism | Post World War II era Article: Leonard Bernstein's short opera Trouble in Tahiti (1951-52) is a humorous but scathing satire on postwar consumerism and bourgeois marriage.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual.

  • This Year Marks Leonard Bernstein's 100Th Birthday, and Some Philly Arts
    This year marks Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday, and some Philly arts and culture institutions are teaming up to celebrate his centenary with eye- and ear-opening firsts. We know Bernstein best for works such as West Side Story, but his 1951 opera, Trouble in Tahiti, also became an important cultural touchstone. It satirized the outwardly perfect and inwardly tumultuous family life of a suburban couple in 1950s America. But things got darker in the mid-1980s, when Bernstein revisited the same fictional family 30 years later, as a death calls them home, with 1983’s A Quiet Place. Bernstein’s last stage work In 1980, Bernstein teamed with 30-year-old writer Stephen Wadsworth in their joint inspiration for a sequel to Trouble in Tahiti, while they were both grappling with tragic losses in their own lives. The work would combine vernacular speech and music with relatable middle-class woes, performed through a mix of American musical theater and contemporary opera styles that was unusual and polarizing at the time. A Quiet Place premiered in Houston in 1983 as a one-act opera on a double bill with Trouble in Tahiti. Original conductor John Mauceri thought Bernstein and Wadsworth could revisit the two works again. They developed a new version of A Quiet Place that incorporated Trouble in Tahiti, creating one opera with the family’s complete arc, alternating between past and present and becoming a map of a changing U.S. culture from the 1950s to the ’80s. The revised A Quiet Place debuted successfully at La Scala in 1984 and went on to the Kennedy Center before returning to Europe.

  • Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Announces 2019 New Music Festival
    Media contacts Linda Moxley, VP of Marketing & Communications 410.783.8020 [email protected] Devon Maloney, Director of Communications 410.783.8071 [email protected] For Immediate Release Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Announces 2019 New Music Festival Baltimore (April 18, 2019) Under the leadership of Music Director Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) announces the 2019 New Music Festival. Launched by Alsop and the BSO in 2017, the New Music Festival brings contemporary classical music to Baltimore from June 19-22. The 2019 New Music Festival celebrates women composers ahead of the BSO’s 2019-20 season, which highlights women in music in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the U.S. Performances include the Baltimore premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a BSO co- commission, as well as the world premiere of Anna Clyne’s cello concerto, Dance, with Inbal Segev. “I’m thrilled that this year’s New Music Festival features such an outstanding group of contemporary composers, who happen to be women!” said Alsop. “Each piece of music that we’ve programmed tells a unique and compelling story, and we are proud to present a range of voices and perspectives that showcases some of the most inspired work happening in classical composition today.” The 2019 New Music Festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 19 when composer Sarah Kirkland Snider participates in a discussion on her composition process at Red Emma’s Bookstore Café. On Thursday, June 20, Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh leads members of the BSO and Shara Nova, also known as My Brightest Diamond, in a free concert at the Ottobar.

  • L'importanza Dell'etica Nella Grande Interpretazione Musicale: Testimonianze E Incontri Con Celebri Pianisti
    L’importanza dell’etica nella grande interpretazione musicale: testimonianze e incontri con celebri pianisti Kazimierz Morski Pianista. Direttore d’orchestra. Catedratico di Scienze Musicali Università Slesiana di Katowice Università Autonoma di Madrid1 Università di Roma 2 “Tor Vergata”2 Sintesi. Il saggio è frutto di personali esperienze e di considerazioni sorte nell’accostarsi a grandi personaggi della musica, in questo caso pianistica, il cui impegno etico-estetico sta alla base della profonda grandezza di esecuzioni divenute ormai patrimonio storico. Modelli in tal senso sono stati Neuhaus, Benedetti Michelangeli o Arrau per chi, come me, ha potuto incontrarli o sentirli in concerto e si trova oggi a porli nella prospettiva storica assieme ad altri artisti del mondo compositivo ed interpretativo. Nonostante le differenze e le soggettive concezioni di approccio alla musica, dal concertismo puro, all’impegno didattico, alla riflessione teorica, quanto appare nelle loro realizzazioni è un atteggiamento umano e culturale spesso celato da un nobile riserbo, segno irripetibile dell’arte nella sua essenza. Di qui l’affermazione della necessaria componente etica nell’ambito estetico delle grandi interpretazioni, sia in relazione all’originaria idea creativa che al suo mutare a seconda del gusto e delle epoche. Le testimonianze addotte conducono a profonde considerazioni sul rapporto tra l’elemento ontologico relativo soprattutto alla creatività e quello fenomenologico soggetto alle continue variazioni del modo di sentire. Parole chiave. idea creativa - interpretazione ideale - esecuzione - concertismo - pianisti - personalità artistica - virtuosismo - espressione- tradizione - didattica - etica - estetica - esperienze – testimonianze. Abstract. This essay is the result of personal experiences and considerations while addressing the fate of great musicians – in this case of piano players - whose ethic-aesthetic commitment is behind the greatness of certain interpretations that have become part our cultural heritage.
