  • 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.

  • Music Director Riccardo Muti Begins 2015/16 Season with Celebration of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’S 125Th Anniversary
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: September 3, 2015 Rachelle Roe, 312.294.3090 Eileen Chambers, 312.294.3092 Photos: [email protected] MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI BEGINS 2015/16 SEASON WITH CELEBRATION OF CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY September 17–October 3, 2015 Fall Residency Features Subscription Concerts, Free Concert for Chicago in Millennium Park, Symphony Ball Gala, and Appearances by Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and Harpist Xavier de Maistre CHICAGO—Riccardo Muti’s sixth season as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) begins with a multi-faceted celebration as the CSO kicks off its 125th anniversary season in 2015/16. In 1891, Theodore Thomas took the stage to conduct the Orchestra’s first concert nearly 125 years ago. Thomas could scarcely have imagined that this great ensemble would not only flourish, but would live on long after him. As the Orchestra looks back at its distinguished history this season, its programs reflect the CSO’s heritage and legacy, with most weeks including at least one work that was given its world or U.S. premiere by the CSO. Many of these premieres featured the composer as conductor or soloist, and have since taken their place as cornerstones of the standard orchestral repertoire. CSO Concerts Muti leads a wide range of programs and events between September 17–October 3, 2015, beginning with the season’s first subscription concert at Symphony Center on Thursday, September 17, at 8 p.m., which includes Liszt’s symphonic poem, From the Cradle to the Grave, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

  • 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.
