  • A Collection of Stan Ruttenberg's Reviews of Mahler Recordings From
    A collection of Stan Ruttenberg’s Reviews of Mahler Recordings from the Archives Of the Colorado MahlerFest (Symphonies 3 through 7 and Kindertotenlieder) Colorado MahlerFest XIII Recordings of the Mahler Third Symphony Of the fifty recordings listed in Peter Fülöp’s monumental discography (up to 1955, and many more have been added since then), I review here fifteen at my disposal, leaving out two by Boulez and one by Scherchen as not as worthy as the others. All of these fifteen are recommendable, all with fine points, all with some or more weaknesses. I cannot rank them in any numerical order, but I can say that there are four which I would rather hear more than the others — my desert island choices. I am glad to have the others for their own particular merits. Getting ready for MFest XIII we discovered that the matter of score versions and parts is complex. I use the Dover score, no date but attributed to Universal Edition; my guess this is an early version. The Kalmus edition is copied from who knows which published version. Then there is the “Critical Edition,” prepared by the Mahler Gesellschaft, Vienna. I can find two major discrepancies between the Dover/Universal and the Critical (I) the lack of horns at RN25-5, doubling the string riff and (ii) only two harp glissandi at the middle of RN28, whereas the Critical has three. Our first horn found another. Both the Dover and Critical have the horn doublings, written ff at RN 67, but only a few conductors observe them.

  • Cello Concerto Jacqueline Du Pré: the Concerto's Consummate Interpreter?
    Cello Concerto Jacqueline du Pré: The concerto's consummate interpreter? Section 1 - Introduction The release of the film, Hilary & Jackie, has created a fresh wave of interest in the genius of Jacqueline du Pré. "Jackie", as she was called, was the greatest cellist of her generation, and many people consider her the finest interpreter of Elgar's Cello Concerto. The film is based on the book A Genius in the Family by du Pré's sister Hilary and her brother Piers (Chatto & Windus, 1997). In the book's preface, the du Prés explain that it is not a biography: "These are our memories. This book is not a biography, nor an account of Jackie's career. It is simply what happened. We offer the reader the story of our family, from within." Jacqueline du Pré Both book and film have caused a storm of controversy, with some critics complaining about its "lack of objectivity". But the du Prés' intent was to describe the Jackie they knew, not the world-famous musician. The public Jackie is well-documented in another new book, Jacqueline du Pré (Weidenfield & Nicolson, 1998), written byElizabeth Wilson with the assistance of du Pré's husband, Daniel Barenboim. A cellist herself, Wilson includes insightful comments about du Pré's recorded performances. Another excellent biography is Carol Easton's Jacqueline du Pré(Hodder & Stoughton, 1989), currently out-of-print but well worth looking for. This biographical sketch draws on all three sources. Section 2 - Starting at Oxford Jacqueline du Pré's parents met through the sheerest of circumstances. Her father,Derek du Pré was a thirty-year-old London editor in 1938 London when he won a trip to Poland.

  • History of the Houston Symphony
    HISTORY OF THE HOUSTON SYMPHONY Founded in 1913 by the guiding hand of Miss Ima Hogg, the Grammy Award—winning Houston Symphony has played a central role in Houston’s cultural and civic life for more than 100 years. It is now one of America's oldest performing arts organizations with a distinguished musical history. The orchestra has grown and matured under the direction of leaders such as Ernst Hoffmann (1936-47), Efrem Kurtz (1948-54), Ferenc Fricsay (1954), Leopold Stokowski (1955-61), Sir John Barbirolli (1961-67), André Previn (1967-69), Lawrence Foster (1971-78), Sergiu Comissiona (1979-88), Christoph Eschenbach (1988-99) and Hans Graf (2001-13). Andrés Orozco-Estrada began his role as the 15th music director of the Houston Symphony in September 2014. Steven Reineke serves as Principal POPS Conductor, Robert Franz is Associate Conductor, and Dr. Betsy Cook Weber directs the Houston Symphony Chorus. The orchestra’s inaugural performance was held at The Majestic Theater in downtown Houston June 21, 1913. Two decades later, the Palace Theatre served as the location for six concerts in 1931-32. City Auditorium and the Houston Music Hall showcased Symphony performances from the late 1930s through the early 1960s. The orchestra’s current home, Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, was dedicated Oct. 2, 1966, with a special performance by the Houston Symphony under the baton of Sir John Barbirolli. In October 2016, a concert featuring the Houston Symphony, esteemed violinist Itzhak Perlman and Music Director Andrés Orozco-Estrada celebrated the 50th anniversary of Jones Hall. In 1937, the Houston Symphony began a series of special student matinee concerts coordinated with Houston Independent School District.

  • Justin Solomon 1 Deconstructing the Definitive Recording: Elgar's Cello Concerto and the Influence of Jacqueline Du Pré Accou
    Justin Solomon 1 Deconstructing the Definitive Recording: Elgar’s Cello Concerto and the Influence of Jacqueline du Pré Accounts of Jacqueline du Pré’s 1965 recording session for the Elgar Cello Concerto with Sir John Barbirolli border on mythical. Only twenty years old at the time, du Pré impressed the audio engineers and symphony members so much that word of a historic performance quickly spread to an audience of local music enthusiasts, who arrived after a break to witness the remainder of the session.1 Reviewers of the recording uniformly praised the passion and depth of du Pré’s interpretation; one reviewer went so far as to dub the disc “the standard version of the concerto, with or without critical acclaim.”2 Even du Pré seemed to sense that the recording session would become legendary. Despite the fact that the final recording was produced from thirty-seven takes spanning the entirety of the Concerto, du Pré hinted to her friends that “she had played the concerto straight through,” as if the recording were the result of a single inspired performance rather than a less glamorous day of false starts and retakes.3 Without doubt, du Pré’s recording is one of the most respected interpretations of the Concerto. Presumably because of the effectiveness of the recording and the attention it received, the famous cellist Mstislav Rostropovich “erased the concerto from his repertory” after the recording was released.4 For this reason, it comes as no surprise that in the wake of such a respected and widely distributed rendition, amateur and professional cellists alike would be conscious of du Pré’s stylistic choices and perhaps imitate their most attractive features.

  • Musicweb International February 2020 Second Thoughts and Short Reviews
    Second Thoughts and Short Reviews - Winter 2019-20/3 By Brian Wilson, Dan Morgan, Simon Thompson and Johan van Veen. Winter #1 is here and Winter #2 is here. Earlier editions are archived here. Reviews are by Brian Wilson unless otherwise stated. Concurrently with this edition I have embarked on a summary, due soon, of some of the new releases and reissues for the Beethoven 2020 celebration of his 250th birthday. I mentioned some of these in Winter #2, but the trickle has since become a flood. My task has been made much easier by Mark Zimmer’s very detailed survey of the three bumper box sets from DG, Warner and Naxos, which allows me to concentrate on single albums and some of the individual releases associated with those box sets, especially the smaller download selections from the DG box. I’ve dealt with some of these in my article and hope to include the rest in forthcoming editions of these regular Second Thoughts and Short Reviews.

    BRITISH ORCHESTRAL MUSIC (Including Orchestral Poems, Suites, Serenades, Variations, Rhapsodies, Concerto Overtures etc) A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Frederick Delius (1862-1934) Born in Bradford to German parents. His family had not destined him for a musical career but due to the persuasion of Edvard Grieg his father allowed him to attend the Leipzig Conservatory where he was a pupil of Hans Sitt and Carl Reinecke. His true musical education, however, came from his exposure to the music of African-American workers in Florida as well as the influences of Grieg, Wagner and the French impressionists. His Concertos and other pieces in classical forms are not his typical works and he is best known for his nature-inspired short orchestral works. He also wrote operas that have yielded orchestral preludes and intermezzos in his most characteristic style. Sir Thomas Beecham was his great champion both during Delius’ lifetime and after his death.
