  • 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.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Reflections on the Stuttgart Ring
    Performance The Stuttgart Ring on DVD: A Review Portfolio Everyday Totalitarianism: Reflections on the Stuttgart Ring Downloaded from By the standards of contemporary German opera, the recent Stuttgart production of Richard Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen has generated a great deal of hype. Critics hail it as an epochal “milestone in the history of Wagner production, akin to the Patrice Che´reau Bayreuth centenary Ring of 1976,” and praise it for single- handedly disproving “widespread claims that opera is dead.”1 The most com- http://oq.oxfordjournals.org monly cited virtue of the production is its use of a different director for each opera. Klaus Zehelein, Intendant of the Stuttgart Staatsoper from 1991 to 2006, a dramaturge by profession and the man who organized this Ring, offers unabashed self-praise: “Only because we arranged for a different team to direct each piece of the Ring will its moments of exposition finally realize those sublime theatrical forms that Wagner offers us.”2 The result is now available on DVD. at Princeton University on June 17, 2010 *** Why four directors and not one? Zehelein’s most straightforward justification, the one that dominates press releases from Stuttgart and reviews in the German press, is that stage directors must be liberated. Any effort to impose a unified concept or meaning on the Ring cycle (Totalita¨tsanspruch), Zehelein argues, restricts the director’s creative freedom and is thus “totalitarian.”3 Holistic con- cepts encumber directors by constraining them to adopt interpretations of the Ring consistent with the overarching ideas, symbols, and musical leitmotifs in Wagner’s text and music.4 By treating the Ring instead as a series of disconnected episodes, directors are free to respond to each dramatic moment without “prior assumptions” or “obligations.”5 A modern audience should similarly perceive the Ring as a series of disconnected theatrical moments or “theatrical piecework.”6 Having no big message to transmit and no one in charge enhances artistic freedom and releases creative energy.
