BALDWIN PIANO RCA VICTOR RECORDS [3] ERNEST ANSERMET ERNEST Ansermet, bom in Vevey, Switzerland, November ii, 1883, began his career as a professor of mathematics at the University of Lausanne, and at the Sorbonne, but studied music with Den^r^az in Lausanne, Gedalge in Paris, and Otto Barblan and Ernest Bloch in Geneva. He became conductor of the Kursaal concerts in Montreux in 1912, and succeeded Stavenhagen as director of the Geneva Sub- scription Concerts in 1914. In 1915 he toured Europe and both Americas as conductor of Diaghileff's Ballet Russe. In 1918 he founded the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. He conducted the symphony orchestra at Buenos Aires in the seasons 1924-27, and in 1936-37 re- turned to conduct in South America and several cities of the United States. Having conducted concerts over Radio Suisse during the war, he resumed his activities as guest conductor in Europe in 1946, and returned to this country in the season 1947-1948 for guest appearances. On January 25, 28-29, 1949, he appeared as guest conductor of this Orchestra, and has visited this country each season since then. SYMPHONY IN A MAJOR, NO. 4, "ITALIAN," Op. 90 By Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Born at Hamburg, February 3, 1809; died at Leipzig, November 4, 1847 Completed in 1833, Mendelssohn's Fourth Symphony was first performed by the Philharmonic Society in London on May 13, 1833. The composer made a revision which was completed in 1837, but not performed on the European Continent until two years after his death — November 1, 1849 — when Julius Rietz conducted it at the Gewandhaus concerts in Leipzig. The orchestration calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. IT would be hard to come across the opinion that the "Italian" Symphony is in any way a national document, or a piece of descrip- tive music. There are those who have discerned Naples in the slow movement, and others who, not unreasonably, have looked in vain to justify such' a reading. Those who are bound to find a true reflec- tion of Italy in the Symphony can at least point to the Saltarello finale. If a saltarello rhythm can make an Italian symphony, they are right. It is true that this rhythm impressed itself on Mendelssohn at glamorous moments. On a certain occasion in the midst of his winter at Rome (1830-1831), Louisa Vernet, daughter of his host, Horace Vernet, delighted him by doing the saltarello steps with her father, and by acquitting herself more than creditably upon the tambourine. [4] THE FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR BY THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Charles Munch, will make its European debut at the Paris Opera House on May 6. The orchestra will play for the month-long Exposition of the Arts sponsored by The Congress For Cultural Freedom (Nicholas Nabokov, General Secre- tary) , whose theme is the vitality of intellectual and artistic achievements by free men in the past fifty years in the fields of music, ballet, painting and other art forms. The Exposition Committee of the Congress's American affiliate, headed by Julius Fleischmann of Cincinnati, is providing funds from private philanthropy to send the 104-member musical aggregation abroad. Other American participants in the Paris Exposition will be the New York City Ballet Company and conductors Igor Stravinsky and Bruno Walter. While final details of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's tour await clarifica- tion from abroad, visits are planned to thirteen cities in six countries. Charles Munch, the Musical Director, now recovering from a long illness, is expected back with his orchestra in March, and will share the conducting assignments with his friend and colleague, Pierre Monteux, conductor of this orchestra in the seasons 1919-1924. The Orchestra will complete its Boston season on Saturday evening, April 26, and sail on the He de France on April 28. Mr. Munch, Alsatian-born conductor who became director of The Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1949, will lead the symphony in its initial concert abroad on May 6 at the Paris Opera House. This event will be honored by the presence of President Vincent Auriol, state, diplomatic, civic and social leaders, with the National Guard of Honor of the Republic of France in attendance. This and a second Exposition concert which Mr. Monteux will conduct at Paris' Theatre des Champs-Elysees on May 8 will he devoted to Twentieth Century European apd American music. Mr. Monteux's program will witness an historical re-creation: a performance of Igor Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" (Rite of Spring) almost 39 years after he introduced this epoch-making work in the same theatre. The next day the Orchestra entrains for The Hague, Holland, where Mr. Munch will conduct on May 10. On May 11, under Mr. Monteux, who often has led the celebrated Amsterdam Concertgebouw, it will perform in Amsterdam. On May 17, the Boston Symphony will visit Strasbourg, Mr. Munch 's birth- place. There the conductor served as violinist in the Strasbourg Orchestra, and taught at the Strasbourg Conservatory. The concert in that city will be at the Free Europe University In Exile, and will be broadcast by arrange- ment with Radio Free Europe, and through Voice of American facilities to Russia and its satellite countries. Several performances are planned in Germany, for German civilians and U. S. troops stationed abroad. Brussels, Belgium; Turin, Italy; and Lille, France are also included. The tour will conclude with the Orchestra's first appearance in London, at the Festival Hall on May 26, following which the Orchestra will sail for New York from Southampton aboard the He de France on May 27. The Boston Symphony, which from its broadcasts and recordings holds a European reputation second to none, will join in Paris such other of the free world's celebrated musical organizations as the Halle Orchestra from England, Sir John Barbirolli, conductor; the Orchestra and Chorus dell'Accademia della Santa Cecilia, Rome; the R.I.A.S. (Radio) Orchestra, Berlin, Ferenc Fricsay conductor; I'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Geneva, Ernest Anser- met conducting; the Paris Conservatory and the French National Radio Orchestras.

  • The Interest of These Performances Lies First and Foremost
    The interest of these performances lies first and foremost - not to mention finally and most importantly- in the tempos: in the way they are chosen, establi shed, and shrewdly modified by Fiedler in the course of performances which so interestingly live, move and have their being. There are other points of interest. The nature of the use of string portamentos: in the case of Fiedler and the Berlin Philharmonic, the selective and highly discriminating use of it. But it is tempo which is of paramount interest ... Richard Osborne, Gramophone, November 2000 (excetpt) Producer's Note Max Fiedler (1859 - 1939) is one of only two conductors with a direct link to Brahms to have recorded hi s works; the other is Felix Weingartner. Yet, as Christopher D yment pointed out in a pair of articl es published in Classical Record Collector a decade ago (Summer and Autumn, 2002), it would be an overstatement to call him a protCgC of the composer. Fiedler knew Brahms personally, and likely heard him conduct on a few occasions; however, it was as a follower of Hans von Bulow that Fiedler learned what he believed to be the authentic Brahms style, a highly subjective, rhythmically free approach that was at odds with the more restrained Classicism of Fritz Steinbach, who provided a model for the young Weingartner. Nevertheless, by early in the last century, Fiedler had earned the reputation in Germany as a Brahms specialist, and it was in that capacity that he made his only commercial records for Grammophon/ Polydor, all of which are presented here.

HOUSTON President Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute The RPI FIELD HOUSE has in the last seven years of operation become a unique forum for thought and ex- pression in the Capital District. This is partially the result of great words and ideas voiced from the FIELD HOUSE stage by outstanding leaders in many diverse fields — ed- ucation, politics, religion, drama, and many more. It is also the result of cultural expression — enduring music performed by the major symphony orchestras of America and Europe, choral groups and artists. As such, the audi- torium has fulfilled the major objective laid down by the college, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, which brought it into being and operates it today to enrich the lives of the college family and the people of the large surrounding community.
