For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut's Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program." Naturally, there would be no obligation. Write or call The Personal Trust Department The Rational Shawmut Bank Tel.

To the new grandfather who would like to leave a little something to the new heir and score some points on the tax man: New grandfathers have it made. As if by divine ordination they are suddenly blessed with "ancient wisdom and a twinkling eye." They are free to spoil or ignore as they see fit. Most new grandfathers accept the responsibility of their estates as willingly as the privilege. Many (in their ancient wisdom) turn to Old Colony for advice on how best to help their new grandchild. Often they are astonished to learn how much they can reduce their own tax bill in the bargain. If you are a new grandfather — or even an old one — give your lawyer a ring and let's all three of us get together soon. Meanwhile, we hope you will write us for a complimen- tary copy of "The Living Trust." It may give you some profitable ideas.

The first performance in Paris was at the Theatre des Champs £lysees, May 10, 1913.

The Prelude was performed at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra March 28, 1919 (Henri Rabaud conducting); December 5, 1924, shortly after the composer's death (Serge Koussevitzky conducting), and March 9-10, 1951, under the direction of Charles Munch.

  • Henri Rabaud À L'opéra De Paris Sous L'ère Jacques Rouché (1915-1945)
    Les colloques de l’Opéra Comique Henri Rabaud et son temps. Mai 2013 Sous la direction d’Alexandre DRATWICKI et Agnès TERRIER Henri Rabaud à l’Opéra de Paris sous l’ère Jacques Rouché (1915-1945) Claire PAOLACCI Premier Grand Prix de Rome en 1894, Henri Rabaud séjourne à la villa Médicis puis entame une brillante carrière de chef d’orchestre et de compositeur. En 1908, les nouveaux directeurs de l’Opéra de Paris, Lémistin Broussan et André Messager, le nomment premier chef d’orchestre du théâtre. Il obtient de grands succès mais leur successeur, Jacques Rouché, ne le reconduit pas à cette charge1. En revanche, même si ses ouvrages sont plus propres à être donnés à l’Opéra- Comique qu’à l’Opéra, Rouché crée, au cours de sa direction, trois de ses œuvres lyriques (La Fille de Roland (1922), Mârouf, savetier du Caire (1928) et Rolande et le mauvais garçon (1934)) et lui commande une musique symphonique pour accompagner le premier drame cinématographique projeté au Palais Garnier : Le Miracle des loups de Raymond Bernard (1924). Nous étudierons ces créations afin de saisir dans quelle mesure elles s’inscrivent dans la politique artistique de Jacques Rouché et quelle est la place particulière occupée par Henri Rabaud dans la programmation de l’Opéra de Paris entre 1915 et 1945. La Fille de Roland, drame lyrique patriotique Alors que sa prise de fonction est perturbée par le déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale, Jacques Rouché obtient l’autorisation de rouvrir l’Opéra. Il souhaite proposer une programmation très patriotique pour soutenir l’effort de guerre.

  • Rezension Für: Paul Kletzki
    Rezension für: Paul Kletzki Paul Kletzki conducts Brahms, Schubert & Beethoven Johannes Brahms | Franz Schubert | Ludwig van Beethoven CD aud 95.642 www.pizzicato.lu 05/06/2016 (Remy Franck - 2016.06.05) Spontanes Dirigat von Paul Kletzki Der Schweizer Dirigent Paul Kletzki (1900-1973), ehemaliger Chefdirigent in Liverpool, Dallas, Bern und beim ‘Orchestre de la Suisse Romande’, dirigiert auf einer CD der Reihe ‘Lucerne Festival Historic Performances’ von Audite das ‘Swiss Festival Orchestra’. Da erklingt zunächst mit schlankem Klang, kontrastreich zwischen betonter Grübelei und drängender Aufbruchsstimmung die Vierte Symphonie von Johannes Brahms und danach eine hoch dramatische, groß-symphonisch angelegte ‘Unvollendete’ von Franz Schubert. Ebenfalls bemerkenswert ist die sehr expressive Ouvertüre ‘Leonore 3’ von Ludwig van Beethoven. Die Brahms- und Schubert –Symphonien gibt es auf anderen Labels in Studioeinspielungen, die kurz vor dem hier verwendeten, spontaneren, freieren Livemitschnitt entstanden (Audite 95.642). Stereoplay 07|2016 (Attila Csampai - 2016.07.01) Brahms unter Strom Es ist eine der spannendsten und zwingendsten Aufführungen der Vierten von Brahms, die ich je gehört habe, noch geballter und stringenter als die berühmten Referenzen von Klemperer und Toscanini. Vor allem in den beiden Ecksätzen kombiniert Kletzki strukturelle Dichte und emotionales Feuer zu gebündelten Energieschüben, die das späte Opus fast als Fanal jugendlicher Leidenschaft und so gar nicht als abgeklärtes Alterswerk erscheinen lassen.

Paul Kletzki fled as many as three totalitarian regimes – initially Nazi Germany, where he had established himself as a composer and conductor since the 1920s, and where Wilhelm Furtwäng- ler had championed him; later on, Stalin’s Soviet Union; and finally fascist Italy – before settling in Switzerland in 1939.

  • Ett Porträtt Av Orchestre De La Suisse Romande
    Ett porträtt av Orchestre de la Suisse Romande Orchestre de la Suisse Romande – One Century of Music Pentatone PTC5186791 [5 CD] Orchestre de la Suisse Romande bildades 1918 där syftet var att ge den fransktalande populationen i Schweiz en orkester som motpol till den dominerande tysktalande delen av landet. Den legendariske dirigenten Ernest Ansermet var grundaren av orkestern och hans kamp för att få orkestern att överleva både politiskt motstånd men även 1930-talets ekonomiska depression gjorde att han hade alla odds emot sig. På sikt lyckades orkestern att bli så etablerad som tanken var och orkestern fungerar väl än idag. I en ny box från Pentatone på 5 cd får vi höra musik framförd av orkesterns samtliga chefdirigenter. Ansermet var chef nästan 50 år mellan åren 1918–1967 och därefter har orkestern letts av följande dirigenter under betydligt kortare perioder: Paul Kletzki, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Horst Stein, Armin Jordan, Fabio Luisi, Pinchas Steinberg, Marek Janowski, Neeme Järvi och Jonathan Nott (orkesterns nuvarande chefsdirigent). Många välkända maestror har därmed haft ansvaret för orkestern genom åren men ingen så länge som grundaren själv. Denna box innehåller 19 olika verk vilket visar på den mångsidighet som finns hos orkestern. Den första skivan ägnas åt fransk musik, den andra åt tyska tonsättare, nr. 3 fokuserar på verk från 1900-talet och nr. 4 innehåller rysk musik. Den sista, den femte, ägnas åt en historisk inspelning från januari 1943, där Ansermet dirigerar Gustave Dorets ”Les Armaillis”, en dramatisk legend för solister, kör och orkester.
