  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

  • The Recorded Legacy of Enrico Caruso and Its Influence on the Italian Vocal Tradition
    THE RECORDED LEGACY OF ENRICO CARUSO AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ITALIAN VOCAL TRADITION John Dee Garst, B.S.E., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Dr. Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor Dr. Stephen F. Austin, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Dr. Carol Wilson, Committee Member Dr. Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music Dr. James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Dr. Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Garst, John Dee. The Recorded Legacy of Enrico Caruso and Its Influence on the Italian Vocal Tradition. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance). May 2016, 68 pp., 1 table, references, 145 titles. This dissertation presents evidence for the influence which tenor Enrico Caruso had on the Italian Vocal Tradition. This impact was clearly boosted by the revolution realized in the fledgling recording industry, and the recordable disc. In the years of 1902-1920, gramophones became commonplace, and collecting recordings became a growing interest for many. This new technology required specialized skills, and was especially suited to certain qualities of voice. Caruso enjoyed immense success in this medium, in recording over 250 records. Italian vocal style at the turn of the century was changing, and Caruso employed a new “modern” style in his singing. His interpretive decisions, vocal method, and repertoire which he championed had an impact on the vocal tradition of future generations. Comparison of his recordings with tenors Fernando De Lucia, Giuseppe Anselmi, and Alessandro Bonci shows a marked contrast in styles of “the old school” and Caruso’s “more straightforward” approach.

  • 02 – Spinning the Record
    I: THE EARLY YEARS What on earth were they fighting over? To read the early history of recording, you would think that these people were arguing over shares of Microsoft stock or territory in the Middle East. These pioneers, some of whom really did have good intentions, were soon caught up in imbroglios, lawsuits and just plain nasty arguments that could make your head spin. It’s also rather hard to disentangle the vari- ous threads nowadays because, like all real history, none of it happened in a neat, linear fash- ion, but all jumbled together, lines drawn in the sand spilling all over each other as the tides of music fashions and different musical agendas rushed in from an ocean of public consumers. Reduced to essentials, it all seems so neat: Thomas Edison invents first practical phono- graph in 1877, sets it aside for 12 years and doesn’t bother to market or develop it as he turns his attentions to other matters (specifically electric light); other inventors pick up the thread around 1889, ten years later the flat disc begins to make significant inroads on the cylinder, by 1913 Edison throws in the towel and starts making flat discs of his own, in 1925 electrical re- cording replaces the old acoustical method, by which time radio is making significant inroads on the record industry itself. By 1930, thanks to the overwhelming popularity of radio and the Depression, the record industry is floundering; new techniques and marketing ideas help keep it afloat through the Depression and War years, then it blossoms in a Renaissance of long-play albums, stereo sound and a seemingly unlimited market.

  • 18.2 Vocal 78S. Abott-Fuentes, Pp 23-72
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just minor marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks acquired years ago and others the result of having improved copies in my own collection (which is gradually being listed) via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those records marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best surface material (produced in the later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated PW Columbia pressings (1923-1940) offer similarly fine sound. Vinyl pressings usually provide superb results. Needless to say, top copies of original pressings should provide superb results. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to many collectors. These figures do not necessarily indicate the “value” of the items but rather the lowest minimum bid I can accept. Some will sell for much more, although bids at any figure you deem appropriate from the minimum on up are welcomed and appreciated.

    NUESTRO PRETÉRITO TEATRO REAL PAGINAS HISTÓRICAS POR JOSE SUBIRA 3 Ε Ν su novísimo aspecto, el Teatro Real celebró su memorabilísima inau­ guración el 13 de octubre de 1966, tras una imprevisible pausa filarmó• nica que habría de prolongarse más de seis lustros, ofreciendo la particu­ laridad de que hoy ha dejado de ser una gran mansión de representaciones líricas y al verse privada de un amplísimo escenario se ha convertido en suntuosa y atractiva sala de conciertos. En su faz anterior estuvo reservada a los espectáculos operísticos sin interrupciones desde que abrió sus puer­ tas al público por primera vez el 19 de noviembre de 1850 y las cerró de manera indefinida un florido mes primaveral de 1925. Mi artículo ''''El Teatro Real y los teatros palatinos" (inserto en el número de ACADEMIA correspondiente al segundo semestre de 1966) da\varios pormenores que podrían encajar aquí, entre ellos los concernientes a el Teatro de los Caños del Peral, erigido con anterioridad en este mismo sitio, y a las vicisitudes que habría de sufrir aquel solar hasta concluirse la definitiva edificación por Real orden de Isabel II. Y se evocarán ahora varios aspectos cuya ve­ racidad se fundamenta en fuentes de crédito absoluto, algunas de las cuales, manuscritas, posee mi archivo particular. Sistemáticamente irán apareciendo a continuación noticias relacionadas con empresarios, escenó• grafos, reglamentos, iluminaciones, contratos de artistas, abonos de pago y de favor, bailes de máscaras, cantantes famosos por diversos motivos, etc. Demos fin a este preámbulo orientador y entremos en materia. I. EMPRESARIOS Durante los tres cuartos de siglo que habría de ofrecer actividades líri­ cas el Teatro Real madrileño las personas encargadas de la empresa fueron sucediéndose.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. -A FEW HELPFUL NOTES - Imported (to the U.S.) Polydors had the upper portion of the label (trademark area) very neatly blacked out (probably from the period Opera Discs ended, 1923, up to the electric era). Those that appear in this list are in uniformly extraordinarily clean condition, many appearing as unplayed. “Z” shellac is the highest grade surface material, used by Victor in the 1934-38 period. Usually a small “Z” appears in the inner margin but sometimes not. Where “Z” shellac is used and there is no “Z” indication, I have stated “Z”-type shellac. Close in terms of superior surfaces would be PW pressings, particularly those in the 1938-39 period. Columbia used consistently superior shellac from 1923 until 1941. Radio station copies. These records were stored in climate controlled situations and generally have not become noisy as a result. It would seem to me that most of the “crackly” sound on HMVs and post-laminate English Columbias is a result of humidity. Records affected by humidity and played with a fibre stylus are even more noisy. There shouldn’t be many of these in this catalogue. Crayon markings on radio station copies (usually filing numbers and timing information) can be easily removed (most simply with a product called “Goo-Gone”). Russian records. It can be assumed that all Russian records are sung in Russian unless otherwise stated. A word about grading. While a good percentage of the records in each catalogue are less than very rare, the condition of most is unusually clean and as such the records are particularly desirable.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s). * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommend- dation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth.
