  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>2 GREAT BRITAIN: ffrr, 1944-57 In a business where exclusive contracts were the norm, it was very difficult for a newcomer to become established and Decca’s initial roster of classical artists was unable to compete with established rivals. In March 1932 an agreement with Polydor provided access to a substantial catalogue of German artists and a year later the company virtually abandoned classical recording to concentrate on dance bands. The move to Thames Street Studios provided more scope for orchestral sessions and a bold policy of recording contemporary British music enhanced the label’s reputation. The newly formed Boyd Neel Orchestra was signed up in 1934, followed by the Griller String Quartet in 1935, Clifford Curzon in 1937, Peter Pears in 1944, Kathleen Ferrier in 1946 and Julius Katchen in 1947. War broke the link with Polydor, leaving Decca with a respectable catalogue of chamber music, but little symphonic repertoire. Armed with ffrr technology, the company began to remedy this in 1944, engaging Sidney Beer’s National Symphony Orchestra until 1947 and the misleadingly named New Symphony Orchestra (it had made its first recordings in 1909) from 1948. Neither developed into a house band to rival EMI’s Philharmonia and, with the Royal Philharmonic also exclusive to EMI, Decca had to resort to the LSO and the LPO, both in rather run-down condition in the post-war years. Meanwhile every opportunity was taken to impress visiting continental orchestras with ffrr sessions and it was evident that the company intended to transfer much of its symphonic work to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Vienna as soon as practicable.

  • The Birth of Decca Stereo by Kichael B
    The Wilkinson/Decca Tree at Walthamstow Town Hall, 1965. 4 The Birth of Decca Stereo by Kichael B. Gray By the early 1950's, multi-channel audio tape recorders had become common enough in the U.S. for pioneers like Bert Whyte, Emory Cook and Robert Blake to begin to use them to make stereo recordings of symphony orchestras. In Europe, however, early stereo was the province of big companies like EM! and Decca, which had the R&D resources to develop multi­ channel techniques and extensive recording programs in which to test them. Today stereo is taken for granted as the standard for music recording; but until the late 1950's, 2- channel (or binaural, as they were often misleadingly called) recordings were almost always confined to classical music whose studios offered an ideal setting for testing new and still experimental stereo mixers and mike setups. RCA was the first big American company to take stereo to commercial sessions when it sent Producer Jack Pfeiffer and Engineer Leslie Chase to Boston's Symphony Hall to re­ cord Berlioz's Damnation of Faust on February 21 and 22, 1954 using a modified RCA RT-11 two-channel recorder, a pair of five-channel mono mixers and two Neumann U-47 mic­ rophones. A month later, Pfeiffer and Chase were in Chicago recording Richard Strauss with the Chicago Symphony under Fritz Reiner, then back in New York taping Toscanini's last two broadcasts with the NBC Symphony and Franck's Symphony with Guido Cantelli on April 6. Across the Atlantic that same month, EMI began stereo experiments at its Abbey Road Studios, where over two decades before Alan Blumlein' s had performed his original binaural experiments.

David Patmore, B.A., M.B.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in part fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sheffield University Management School University of Sheffield August 2001 Acknowledgements This study would not exist without the initial suggestion of my undertaking doctoral research by Professor Geoff Stone and Professor Anne Tomes, made at the time of the completion of my MBA at the Sheffield University Management School in 1994. I am most grateful for this early support. Further valuable encouragement and advice in the formulation of the research and in the idea of undertaking research into the influence of recording was given by Professor Tomes, working closely with Professors Peter Armstrong and Peter Hill. As a musician Professor Hill gave much advice of central importance at this critical early stage, as well as ongoing support and encouragement that has been greatly appreciated. I am most grateful to the Economic and Social Research Council for generously granting a studentship to allow myself to undertake the study, and to the Sheffield University Management School and Department of Music for being at all times congenial and supportive co-hosts. In the first year of study Professors Armstrong, Hill and Tomes proved to be admirable supervisors. At the beginning of the second year personal and professional changes resulted in the supervisory team being reformed with Dr. Cathy Cassell taking the leadership reigns, and with Professor Peter Hill and Dr.
