Michael Gielen Edition MICHAEL GIELEN EDITION MICHAEL GIELEN EDITION 50 years of recordings in 10 volumes NEW in May 2018 SWR19022CD SWR19007CD SWR19014CD SWR19061CD SWR19028CD SWR19023CD SWR19042CD KEY FEATURES • 10 boxed sets to be released between 2016 and 2019 • Each volume largely comprises recordings never previously released, remastered EMI and Intercord recordings, and previously issued SWR recordings • Michael Gielen is one of the most prominent conductors of the 20th and 21st centuries • He celebrates his 90th birthday in July 2017 On 30 October 2014, Michael Gielen issued a press release announcing that he had been forced to end his conducting activities for health reasons. On this occasion, and also with his 90th birthday on 20 July 2017 in mind, it is time to listen to the different phases of a long conducting career. The Michael Gielen EDITION offers this opportunity. It comprises several volumes of varying size, dedicated to individual composers – Beethoven, Bruckner, Brahms, Mahler, Bartók, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern – and others focusing on major historical periods: from Bach to Schubert; from Carl Maria von Weber to Sergei Rachmaninov; late Romantic or early modern works, while another volume is devoted to compositions written after the Second World War. The recordings presented here are from the archives of the former South German Radio, Stuttgart (SDR) and Southwestern Radio, Baden-Baden (SWF), as well as their successor organizations SWR, and Saarland radio (SR) – that is, recordings from a period of over 50 years: from the mid-1960s to Gielen’s last concert with the SWR Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg in January 2014. The course of those five decades saw changes in the standard of the orchestras, sound aesthetics in recording technology, and not least in the conductor Michael Gielen himself. This means that the time span encompassed by these recordings already makes this Michael Gielen EDITION unprecedented.

  • Conducting Studies Conference 2016
    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

  • 19 by Gianmario Borio* Among the Early Sources Preserved in The
    Beiträge Mauricio Kagel’s Analysis of Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment op. 47 by Gianmario Borio* Among the early sources preserved in the Mauricio Kagel Collection is a dossier dedicated to Schoenberg’s Phantasy op. 47, containing an annotated copy of the score, a series of notes on various aspects of its compositional technique, some annotated samples, and a rough draft of a text most likely intended for publication. This material can only be dated hypothetically on the basis of historical evidence. On August 7, 1953, the Phantasy was per- formed at a concert organized by the Agrupación Nueva Música, in which Kagel participated as a pianist; a fleeting reference to the first book by Allen Forte, seen at the bottom of the table of transpositions, allows us to define the dossier’s terminus post quem; lastly, the language used in the notes, considered along with their underlying topics, seems to rule out the possi- bility that they were written during his early years in Germany.1 Kagel’s analysis reveals much about the set of problems with which he was dealing during the composition of Sexteto de cuerdas and the first version of Anagra- ma.2 It also sheds light on the origin of some of the more durable premises of his thought and, on a more general level, represents a significant episode in the reception of the Phantasy itself. * This article originated as part of the project Composers Analysing Other Composers, on which I have been working for a number of years. The first results of the project were pub- lished in “L’analyse musicale comme processus d’appropriation historique: Webern à Darmstadt,” in Circuit: Musiques contemporaines, 15 (2005), no.

There are far too many individuals for a complete list here, but I would like to mention a few. Firstly, to my advisor Ari Sammartino, who also chaired the honors seminar this year. Her intellectual guidance has been transformational for me, and I am incredibly thankful to have had her mentorship. Secondly, to the honors seminar students for 2016—2017. Their feedback and camaraderie was a wonderful counterweight to a thesis process that is often solitary. Thirdly, to Oberlin College and Conservatory. I have benefited enormously from my ability to be a double-degree student here, and am continually amazed by the support and dedication of both faculties to make this program work. And finally to my parents, Steve Cohn and Nancy Eberhardt. They were my first teachers, and remain my intellectual role models. !4 Introduction In 1946, Arnold Schoenberg composed a trio for violin, viola, and cello. Schoenberg earned his reputation as the quintessential musical modernist through complex, often gargantuan pieces with expansive and closely followed musical structures. By contrast, the musical building blocks of the trio are small and the writing is fragmented. The composer Martin Boykan wrote that the trio “is marked by interpolations, interruptions, even non-sequiturs, so that at times Schoenberg seems to be poised at the edge of incoherence.”1 Scattered throughout the piece are musical allusions to the Viennese waltz.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.

But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.
