  • ARSC Journal

    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

    MIHAI DE BRANCOVAN LES CONCERTS Régine Crespin chante Wagner. — Récitals de Gundula Janowitz et d'Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. J'ai naturellement tendance à me méfier de ce que l'on appelle, à Paris, le « concert Wagner », vocable alléchant sous lequel se cache, le plus souvent, une sorte de fourre-tout où l'on retrouve, pêle-mêle, les fragments symphoniques les plus célèbres, voire les plus rabâchés, des œuvres du maître de Bayreuth, véritable pot-pourri périodiquement offert en pâture au public du dimanche après-midi, lequel ne rêve que d'achever sa diges• tion bercé par les Murmures de la forêt ou bouleversé par les émotions plus fortes de la Marche funèbre. Cela dit, rassurez-vous, car c'est d'un « concert Wagner » d'un tout autre genre que je vais vous entretenir : loin d'être fait de bric et de broc, son programme ne comprenait que des pages totalement indépendantes de leur contexte ou pouvant en être isolées sans dommage, l'une d'entre elles étant toute la seconde moitié du premier acte de la Walküre, donc bien plus qu'un simple extrait. Et puis, il y avait la présence de deux solistes dont Régine Crespin, que l'on n'entend plus que trop rarement à Paris ces temps-ci. N'allez pas croire pour autant que ce concert ait été d'un bout à l'autre un modèle de perfection ; tant s'en faut. La première partie a même été franchement décevante : l'Orchestre philharmonique des pays de la Loire dirigé par Pierre Dervaux nous a donné, pour commencer, une exécution bruyante de l'ouverture du Fliegende Holländer : défavorisées par la modestie de leur nombre, les cordes étaient presque inaudibles, tandis que les cuivres, enivrés de leur puissance, s'en donnaient à cœur joie, allant même jusqu'à faire entendre plusieurs « couacs ».

    07 – Spinning the Record

    VI. THE STEREO ERA In 1954, a timid and uncertain record industry took the plunge to begin investing heav- ily in stereophonic sound. They were not timid and uncertain because they didn’t know if their system would work – as we have seen, they had already been experimenting with and working the kinks out of stereo sound since 1932 – but because they still weren’t sure how to make a home entertainment system that could play a stereo record. Nevertheless, they all had their various equipment in place, and so that year they began tentatively to make recordings using the new medium. RCA started, gingerly, with “alternate” stereo tapes of monophonic recording sessions. Unfortunately, since they were still uncertain how the results would sound on home audio, they often didn’t mark and/or didn’t file the alternate stereo takes properly. As a result, the stereo versions of Charles Munch’s first stereo recordings – Berlioz’ “Roméo et Juliette” and “Symphonie Fanastique” – disappeared while others, such as Fritz Reiner’s first stereo re- cordings (Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 with Ar- thur Rubinstein) disappeared for 20 years. Oddly enough, their prize possession, Toscanini, was not recorded in stereo until his very last NBC Symphony performance, at which he suf- fered a mental lapse while conducting. None of the performances captured on that date were even worth preserving, let alone issuing, and so posterity lost an opportunity to hear his last half-season with NBC in the excellent sound his artistry deserved. Columbia was even less willing to pursue stereo.

EMI RLS 744. "The delicious Comte Ory," wrote Chorley in 1854, "has, with all the beauty of its music, never been a favorite anywhere. Even in the theater for which it was written, the Grand Oplra of Paris, where it still keeps its place - when Cinti-Damoreau was the heroine - giving to the music all the playfulness, finish, and sweetness which could possibly be given - the work was heard with but a tranquil pleasure ••• " He goes on to blame the libretto (by Scribe and Delaistre-Poirson) which in its day was indeed rather shocking, with Count Ory's "gang" gaining admission, disguised as nuns, to the castle of the Countess he is pursuing - male voices and all! The opera was rediscovered in the 1950's and enjoyed a real success at Glyndebourne in 1954. The recording was made two years later. The New York City Opera finally got around to Le Comte Ory a year or so ago. There are several obvious reasons for the neglect of this gem of an opera. Though the score is full of delights there is no Largo al facto­ tum or Una voce poco fa. The arias are brilliant but not sure fire. It is not a vehicle; the soprano and tenor roles call for virtuosity of a high order, but this is an ensemble opera and no one can take over the spotlight.
