  • Wallingford Riegger
    WALLINGFORD RIEGGER: Romanza — Music for Orchestra Alfredo Antonini conducting the Orchestra of the “Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia-Roma” Dance Rhythms Alfredo Antonini conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra THIS RELEASE is but further evidence of the growing and gratifying tendency of recent years to recognize Wallingford Riegger as one of the leading and most influential figures in twentieth century American composition, in fact as the dean of American composers. Herbert Elwell, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said it in April, 1956: “I am coming more and more to the conclusion that it is Riegger who has been the real leader and pathfinder in contemporary American music . not only a master of his craft but in some ways a prophet and a seer.” In the same month, in Musical America, Robert Sabin wrote: “I firmly believe that his work will outlast that of many an American composer who has enjoyed far greater momentary fame.” Riegger was born in Albany, Georgia, on April 29, 1885. Both his parents were amateur musicians and were determined to encourage their children in musical study. When the family moved to New York in 1900, the young Wallingford was enrolled at the Institute of Musical Art where he studied the cello and composition. Graduating from there in 1907 Riegger then went to Germany to study at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Max Bruch. In 1915-1916 he conducted opera in Würzburg and Königsberg and the following season he led the Blüthner Orchestra in Berlin. Since his return to the United States in 1917, he has been active in many phases of our musical life.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

    Recorded Thoughts on the Portland Youth Philharmonic Known as the Portland Junior Symphony until 1978 Drawn from Music is Where You Make It / II (1979), Jacob Avshalomov Aaron Copland, after conducting the 40th Anniversary Concert, February 1964 (picture left): “What an orchestra!” “What an organization!” (pg 2) “What a lesson for us all!” Logo by Doug Lynch Jacques Barzun commented in a letter on the group’s 35th anniversary, “…the Portland Junior Symphony commands our respect: it requires discipline and has imparted it to thousands of talented youths; it produces contemporary works and does not baby its audience; and in the person of its conductor, the composer Jacob Avshalomov, it has shown that out of a small army of disciplined amateurs comes the creative mind.” (pg 15) As long-time friends of the Orchestra know, its pre- history began in Burns Oregon in 1912 where Mary V. Dodge, a Boston-trained violinist, formed a group of children that came to be known as the Sagebrush Symphony (picture right). As early as 1915 it had toured Eastern Oregon and a year later played at the State Fair in Salem. When Mrs. Dodge and her husband moved to Portland she continued her devoted work with a new group that gathered around her own pupils. They rehearsed in the old Irvington School, and just about the time the ensemble had grown to the point where a real conductor was needed, Jacques Gershkovitch and his wife arrived in the city. A graduate of the St. Petersburg Imperial Conservatory; he had been conducting in Tokyo when the earthquake caused them to leave Japan, in the hopes of finding a post with some professional orchestra in America.
