MUSIK Diese Woche sprach ich über komponierende Dirigenten und dirigierende Komponisten, also auch über das Verhältnis zwischen Schöpfer und Interpret in einer Person. Heute, in der letzten Sendung zum Thema, will ich mich auf „komponierende Kapellmeister“ kaprizieren, weil es da noch so einiges aufzuarbeiten gibt – vieles wenig bis gar nicht Bekanntes, auch manch Skurriles oder gar Schräges. Wie ich bereits sagte, griffen die Komponisten häufig zum baton, um ihre Werke zu schützen – und um mit der Welt konfrontiert zu werden, nicht nur mit dem häuslichen Schreibtisch.

  • 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.
