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.

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.

Groundbreaking... Union Breaking
groundbreaking... Union Breaking With great ceremony—and an almost audible sigh of relief from those concerned—UM Presi Hf"^ dent Henry King Stanford turned the first shovel full of soil Friday, signifying the beginning of construction of the new Student Union. Also participating in the ceremonies, and turning a symbolic shovel full of dirt, were Jim Blosser, student government president in 1959-60, Norman "Chink" Whitten, director of the Student Union, and Mark Clasby, current student government president. It was Blosser who began the campaigning that culminated in partial student financial aid for both the union and the Otto G. Richter Library. Clasby summed up the feeling of those at tending UM now when he said: "We, the stu- ' dents of 1963-64 would like to thank the students of 1959-60 for the foresight to look ahead to future years." Razing of the old building began Monday, and promptly became a major point of student interest on campus. At one point, there were over 1000 students gazing on as a crane equipped with a 2-ton lead ball demolished a part of the soda fountain .area.

Summer 2009 —Dir Werf’ Ich’S Zu— Volume 6, Number 3 Weisst Du Wie Das Wird? –Götterdämmerung
Wagneriana Singe, Schwester, Summer 2009 —dir werf’ ich’s zu— Volume 6, Number 3 weisst du wie das wird? –Götterdämmerung From the Editor he May 23 Wagner and Strauss concert went spectacularly well. On the program were Strauss’s enchanting Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs), as T well as his “Ruhe, meine Seele” (Rest, My Soul), “Wiegenlied” (Cradle Song), and “Zueignung” (Dedication). Excerpts from Wagner’s Tannhäuser and Die Walküre in the second half provided much enjoyment. In addition to his ex- pert accompaniment of soprano Julia Rolwing, pianist Lloyd Arriola performed Liszt’s powerful transcriptions of Tannhäuser. This concert offered a sophisti- cated sampling of some the best vocal German music. Rolwing, who sang the Strauss songs for only the second time in her career, demonstrated great agility, flexibility, and tonal accuracy as she swooped up and down the scales of these exquisite lieder. And in Wagner’s excerpts, she evinced a wonderful combina- tion of great sweetness and heroic flair, charming her audience with her sensitiv- Julia Rolwing beams ity, dramatization, and expressivity. Hers is a multicolored timbre that is very at the applause (Concert photos by pleasant to hear. Thomas Kwei) Arriola’s performance of the Tannhäuser piano transcriptions by Liszt elicited a standing ovation from the audience. And his accom- paniment was delicate and attentive, providing solid, artful support for Rolwing. Despite the holiday weekend (Memorial Day), attendance was good. The concert was featured in the Boston Globe three times in the days leading up to the event and was advertised on WGBH and WHRB.

Vienna Bifold.Indd
Festivals February 21–March 16, 2014 Featuring the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna State Opera Music, Film, Art, Panel Discussions, and More Terry Linke Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra A glittering cultural jewel at the heart of Europe, Vienna has for centuries drawn artists, dreamers, and innovators from all corners of the continent to its dazzling intellectual and artistic life. With its famed art salons and co ee houses, Vienna supported a unique culture in which artists and scientists, ﬁ rebrands and aesthetes, met and freely exchanged ideas. From this hothouse atmosphere emerged revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, literature, art, and music, reverberating around Europe and indeed the world. Carnegie Hall salutes Vienna’s extraordinary artistic legacy with Vienna: City of Dreams, a three-week citywide festival that features symphonic and operatic masterpieces, chamber music, and lieder, as well as new sounds that are emerging from this historic cultural capital. The festival is bookended by seven concerts in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage by the renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna State Opera, led by esteemed conductors Franz Welser-Möst, Daniele Gatti, Andris Nelsons, and Zubin Mehta. The residency includes concert performances of both Alban Berg’s Wozzeck and Richard Strauss’s Salome, marking only the second time in their history that the Viennese musicians have performed opera in concert at Carnegie Hall. Other festival highlights include a Beethoven violin sonata cycle with Leonidas Kavakos and pianist Enrico Pace, Schubert’s great Die schöne Müllerin with baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Christoph Eschenbach, a Discovery Day that focuses on Schubert’s ﬁ nal years, and a Carnegie Hall–commissioned new work by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas to be premiered by Ensemble ACJW.
