    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.
  • Der Fliegende Holländer

    Der Fliegende Holländer

    WAGNER DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER Theo Adam Anja Silja Martti Talvela Gerhard Unger Ernst Kozub Annelies Burmeister BBC Chorus New Philharmonia Orchestra OTTO KLEMPERER THE HOME OF OPERA Klemperer conducts Der fliegende Holländer With The Flying Dutchman was born the modern musical drama. Ernest Newman On 29 July 1839, the small, London-bound merchant vessel Thetis, running before a fierce storm in the Skagerrak, took shelter in a Norwegian fjord. As the anchor was dropped and the sails were furled, the shouts of the crew echoed around the fjord’s granite cliffs filling one of the passengers with what he later described as an indescribable contentment. Strictly speaking, the 26-year-old Richard Wagner, his wife, Minna, and their Newfoundland dog were stowaways, smuggled across the Russian border to the port of Pillau [present-day Baltisyk] under the noses of armed Cossack guards. They had to be smuggled because the passport of the debt-ridden young music director had been confiscated by the Riga authorities. It is a sobering thought that, had the Thetis foundered, the Wagners would not have reached Paris (their eventual destination) and Western music would not have taken the course it did in the wake of Wagner’s revolutionary influence. We have no way of knowing whether the figure of the Flying Dutchman presented itself to Wagner as the Thetis heaved and wallowed off the Norwegian coast. He knew the story, and in later years was unperturbed when connections were made in people’s minds between the legendary Dutchman and the young vagabond Wagner: outcast, world-wanderer, seeker of the love of the ‘infinitely womanly woman’.

  • Marijke Van Der Lugt

    Marijke Van Der Lugt

    MARIJKE VAN DER LUGT (ROTTERDAM 1919 – DEN HAAG 1989) LEVEN EN LOOPBAAN Höre ich nur diese Weise, Die so wundervoll und Leise, Wonne klagend, alles sagend, Mild versöhnend aus ihm tönend, in mich dringet, auf mich schwinget, hold erhallend um mich klinget? (uit: Isolde’s Liebestod) Maart 2008 INLEIDING Marijke van der Lugt kan worden beschouwd als een van de grootste na-oorlogse operazangeressen die Nederland heeft voortgebracht. In de toch al zo rijke zangcultuur van ons land heeft het aan vooraanstaande zangeressen nooit ontbroken en menigeen heeft naam gemaakt bij de wisselende Nederlandse operagezelschappen aan het eind van de negentiende en de eerste decennia van de twintigste eeuw, de Wagnervereeniging en in het buitenland. Namen als Aaltje Noorderwier-Reddingius en Cato Engelen-Sewing, om ons tot sopranen te beperken, hebben bij operaliefhebbers nog steeds een bekende klank en de stemmen van latere sopranen als Greet Koeman, Erna Spoorenberg, Gré van Swol-Brouwenstijn en Antoinette Tiemessen heeft menigeen nog op het operatoneel kunnen bewonderen. Sopranen die zich op grond van hun bijzondere stemeigenschappen bekwaamden in het dramatische of zelfs hoogdramatische vak zijn uiterst zeldzaam gebleven. Na Liesbeth Poolman-Meissner en Elisabeth Ohms, die een grote naam verwierven in voornamelijk het hoogdramatisch Wagner- en aanverwant repertoire in de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw, is het alleen Marijke van der Lugt geweest die in dit specialistische domein werkzaam is geweest en lauweren heeft geoogst. Merkwaardig echter is het feit dat haar naam bij niet-ingewijden geen of weinig herkenning oproept, zoals gaandeweg dit onderzoek is gebleken, terwijl haar carrière toch goed te volgen is geweest in de kranten en via de vele radio-uitzendingen waaraan zij heeft meegewerkt.

    Wagner Der fliegende Holländer. Pentatone inaugura il ciclo per il bicentenario Pubblicato su gothicNetwork.org (http://www.gothicnetwork.org) Wagner Der fliegende Holländer. Pentatone inaugura il ciclo per il bicentenario Articolo di: Livia Bidoli [1] La Pentatone ha inaugurato da settembre 2011 il suo omaggio a Wagner rilasciando il primo dei pacchetti dedicati alle sue opere: Der Fliegende Holländer, composto tra 1840 e '41. Ben dieci ne comporranno il ciclo sotto la direzione di Marek Janowski con la Rundfunkchor Berlin & Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. Un cast eccezionale affronta questa “ballata scenica” (Wagner dixit), opera che abbozza le forme primeve di letimotiv e di melodia infinita, il fulcro fondante del Musikdrama. Presentiamo i cantanti: Albert Dohmen nella parte dell'Olandese (basso-baritono), Ricarda Merbeth in quella di Senta (soprano), Matti Salminen come Daland (basso), Robert Dean Smith (Erik, tenore), Silvia Hablowetz (Mary, mezzosoprano), Steve Davislim ( Steuermann, tenore). Una registrazione colossale quella che ci attende all'ascolto: alla stessa stregua di quelle di Otto Klemperer (la sua del 1968 per EMI è con la BBC New Philharmonia Chorus & Orchestra e Theo Adam, Anja Silja, Martti Talvela, Ernst Kozub, Gerhard Unger, Annelies Burmeister) di cui Marek Janowski occupa la Guest Conductor Chair alla Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, e ricordando inoltre che la sua prima incisione per intero del Ring (Der Ring des Nibelungen) è stata tra 1980 e 1983 per RCA. Queste registrazioni dedicate al bicentenario della nascita di Wagner (1813) che si compirà nel 2013, sono invece recentissime, a cominciare da questa per Der Fliegende Holländer alla Filarmonica di Berlino del 13 novembre 2010, che affronta l'Ouverture introduttiva e declamatoria dei temi principali con piglio direttivo possente e vigoroso, con trombe ed ottoni ben calibrati e passaggi lirici teneramente “velati”, la cui ripresa è tornita da epico romanticismo.
