07 – Spinning the Record
VI. THE STEREO ERA In 1954, a timid and uncertain record industry took the plunge to begin investing heav- ily in stereophonic sound. They were not timid and uncertain because they didn’t know if their system would work – as we have seen, they had already been experimenting with and working the kinks out of stereo sound since 1932 – but because they still weren’t sure how to make a home entertainment system that could play a stereo record. Nevertheless, they all had their various equipment in place, and so that year they began tentatively to make recordings using the new medium. RCA started, gingerly, with “alternate” stereo tapes of monophonic recording sessions. Unfortunately, since they were still uncertain how the results would sound on home audio, they often didn’t mark and/or didn’t file the alternate stereo takes properly. As a result, the stereo versions of Charles Munch’s first stereo recordings – Berlioz’ “Roméo et Juliette” and “Symphonie Fanastique” – disappeared while others, such as Fritz Reiner’s first stereo re- cordings (Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 with Ar- thur Rubinstein) disappeared for 20 years. Oddly enough, their prize possession, Toscanini, was not recorded in stereo until his very last NBC Symphony performance, at which he suf- fered a mental lapse while conducting. None of the performances captured on that date were even worth preserving, let alone issuing, and so posterity lost an opportunity to hear his last half-season with NBC in the excellent sound his artistry deserved. Columbia was even less willing to pursue stereo.

EDGAR MOREAU, Cellist
EDGAR MOREAU, cellist “Mr. Moreau immediately began to display his musical flair and his distinctive persona. His incredibly beautiful tone spoke directly to the heart and soul. Mr. Moreau established his credentials as a player of remarkable caliber. His intriguing presence, marvelously messy hair, and expressive face were all reflections of the inner poet.” —OBERON’S GROVE (NY) “This cello prodigy belongs in the family of the greatest artists of all time. The audience gave him an enthusiastic ovation in recognition of a divinely magical evening.” —LA PROVENCE ”He is just 20 years old, but for the past five years, this young musketeer of the bow has been captivating all of his audiences. He is the rising star of the French cello.” —LE FIGARO “Edgar Moreau captivates all those who hear him. Behind his boyish looks lies a performer of rare maturity. He is equally at ease in a chamber ensemble, as a soloist with orchestra or in recital, and his facility and pose are simply astounding.” —DIAPASON (Debut CD: “Play” ) European Concert Hall Organization’s 2016-2017 Rising Star 2015 Arthur Waser Foundation Award, in association with the Lucerne Symphony (Switzerland) 2015 Solo Instrumentalist of the Year, Victoires de la Musique Tchaikovsky Competition, 2011, Second Prize and Prize for Best Performance of the Commissioned Work First Prize, 2014 Young Concert Artists International Auditions Florence Gould Foundation Fellowship The Embassy Series Prize (Washington, DC) • The Friends of Music Concerts Prize (NY) The Harriman-Jewell Series Prize (MO) • The Saint Vincent College Concert Series Prize (PA) Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle Prize (NC) • University of Florida Performing Arts Prize The Candlelight Concert Society Prize (MD) YOUNG CONCERT ARTISTS, INC.

Musicweb International August 2020 RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020
RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020 By Brian Wilson The decision to axe the ‘Second Thoughts and Short Reviews’ feature left me with a vast array of part- written reviews, left unfinished after a colleague had got their thoughts online first, with not enough hours in the day to recast a full review in each case. This is an attempt to catch up. Even if in almost every case I find myself largely in agreement with the original review, a brief reminder of something you may have missed, with a slightly different slant, may be useful – and, occasionally, I may be raising a dissenting voice.

Lost in the Stars
REVIEWS Performances Lost in the Stars Washington National Opera and the production rocked the house. In musical terms, the 2016 version is even stronger, especially 12–20 February 2016 the contributions of the orchestra, due in great part to the added forces supplied by the Kennedy Center and WNO, particularly the dark richness of added violas. Conductor John DeMain’s Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson’s Lost in the Stars sailed into authoritative command of Weill’s score brought the powerful the Kennedy Center this February captained by Washington music to the forefront. National Opera’s Artistic Director Francesca Zambello. The The sound of the men in the Chorus reminds me of the production was an important event in the nation’s capital, not powerful South African tradition of male ensembles, rooted in only amplifying pressing conversations about race and unequal the practice of corralling Black miners in stockades, with music justice but broadening an artistic question in what has become their only emotional outlet. Through the choral writing, the a rich musical-theater nexus—what is musical theater? Lost nation itself becomes a character, with the first act establishing the in the Stars has been a challenge to define since it debuted on context and letting music invoke the work’s panoramic feel and Broadway, where it met mixed critical response.
