A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

Honorary Members, Rings of Honour, the Nicolai Medal and the “Yellow” List)
Oliver Rathkolb Honours and Awards (Honorary Members, Rings of Honour, the Nicolai Medal and the “Yellow” List) A compilation of the bearers of rings of honour was produced in preparation for the Vienna Philharmonic's centennial celebrations.1 It can not currently be reconstructed when exactly the first rings were awarded. In the archive of the Vienna Philharmonic, there are clues to a ring from 19282, and it follows from an undated index “Ehrenmitglieder, Träger des Ehrenrings, Nicolai Medaillen“3 that the second ring bearer, the Kammersänger Richard Mayr, had received the ring in 1929. Below the list of the first ring bearers: (Dates of the bestowal are not explicitly noted in the original) Dr. Felix von Weingartner (honorary member) Richard Mayr (Kammersänger, honorary member) Staatsrat Dr. Wilhelm Furtwängler (honorary member) Medizinalrat Dr. Josef Neubauer (honorary member) Lotte Lehmann (Kammersängerin) Elisabeth Schumann (Kammersängerin) Generalmusikdirektor Prof. Hans Knappertsbusch (March 12, 1938 on the occasion of his 50th birthday) In the Nazi era, for the first time (apart from Medizinalrat Dr. Josef Neubauer) not only artists were distinguished, but also Gen. Feldmarschall Wilhelm List (unclear when the ring was presented), Baldur von Schirach (March 30, 1942), Dr. Arthur Seyß-Inquart (March 30, 1942). 1 Archive of the Vienna Philharmonic, Depot State Opera, folder on the centennial celebrations 1942, list of the honorary members. 2 Information Dr. Silvia Kargl, AdWPh 3 This undated booklet was discovered in the Archive of the Vienna Philharmonic during its investigation by Dr. Silvia Kargl for possibly new documents for this project in February 2013. 1 Especially the presentation of the ring to Schirach in the context of the centennial celebration was openly propagated in the newspapers.

Forty years later, the compilation of these names makes us sit up, since it signals the tectonic shift that has taken place in musical interpretation in the meantime. Whereas the enigmatic podium refusenik Carlos Kleiber has risen by virtue of his charisma to the narrow ranks of the century’s greatest conductors alongside Arturo Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler, the spell of the former “miracle” Karajan seems to have been broken comprehensively, and Karl Böhm appears to be almost forgotten. Yet Böhm, who died in Salzburg on 14 August 1981 at the age of 86, was undoubtedly one of the great conductors of international standing during the three decades between 1950 and 1980.

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.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ###*#**##*#****##*#**********##*#*** All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Jean-Louis LeRoux, dated March 11, 2002.

While Opus 21 is a brilliant not the slightest problem for the conductor. musical entertainment, Opus 36 can be called Coming between the drama of the Third and a full-fledged dramatic work, particularly in the Fifth Symphonies, the Fourth is a study in the first and the last movements. And at the serenity. What emerges in this sunlit work is a same time the Scherzo emerges here in all its marvelous affirmation; I regard the Fourth as glory, not merely as a humorous interlude, but Beethoven’s way of saying “Yes” to life. as a form capable of conveying the very breath of life. Beethoven had paid his respects to the Commentaries by Josef Krips era of Haydn and Mozart; in this symphony he embarks on his own course and proceeds to encounter the problems which any revolution brings with it.
