    JULIUS BITTNER, FORGOTTEN ROMANTIC by Brendan G. Carroll Julius Bittner is one of music’s forgotten Romantics: his richly melodious works are never performed today and he is perhaps the last major composer of the early twentieth century to have been entirely ignored by the recording industry – until now: apart from four songs, this release marks the very first recording of any of his music in modern times. It reveals yet another colourful and individual voice among the many who came to prominence in the period before the First World War – and yet Bittner, an important and integral part of Viennese musical life before the Nazi Anschluss of 1938 subsumed Austria into the German Reich, was once one of the most frequently performed composers of contemporary opera in Austria. He wrote in a fluent, accessible and resolutely tonal style, with an undeniable melodic gift and a real flair for the stage. Bittner was born in Vienna on 9 April 1874, the same year as Franz Schmidt and Arnold Schoenberg. Both of his parents were musical, and he grew up in a cultured, middle-class home where artists and musicians were always welcomed (Brahms was a friend of the family). His father was a lawyer and later a distinguished judge, and initially young Julius followed his father into the legal profession, graduating with honours and eventually serving as a senior member of the judiciary throughout Lower Austria, until 1920. He subsequently became an important official in the Austrian Department of Justice, until ill health in the mid-1920s forced him to retire (he was diabetic).

COPYRIGHT: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the Special Collections discussed with the PROCESSED BY: Cody Kauhl and Garrett Torbet SUPERVISING ARCHIVIST: Kelley Martin BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Fred Calland was a record collector, teacher and broadcaster with a long professional background in radio music programming, and a national reputation as an opera expert. He entertained National Public Radio listeners from the inception of NPR with many of the most popular music shows broadcast by the system. Born October 25, 1923, in Columbus, Ohio, Calland began collecting records as a teenager. He served in Germany during World War II. After graduating from Ohio State University in 1949, he taught German and worked as the music director for radio stations WSCU-FM in Columbus and WFCR-FM in Amherst, Mass. At WFCR he inaugurated a daily three-hour program called "Fred Calland Presents," which included everything from classical to bluegrass. In 1970, Calland joined National Public Radio as its only music producer. His personal collection often served as the principal resource for recorded music broadcasts. He hosted many live events including the first performances of new musical works. In1989, he retired from NPR as a senior producer. He then served as an occasional commentator on NPR and continued to host his "World of Opera" program on WETA-FM for several years.
