MAIL THIS PROGRAM BOOK TO A FRIEND PROGRAM NOTES at prices you will appreciate By Cecil Smith When William Schuman’s “Prayer, 1943” was first per­ formed in Pittsburgh by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner, conductor, the young American composer re­ every coat an advance quested that no descriptive material be included in the program notes. He did, however, supply the following explanatory remarks himself: Saks Fifth Avenue design “There is nothing to say about the music, for the com­ position, of course, must speak for itself. However, in the interest of forestalling any possible misunderstanding, I would like to say a word about the title. This work is not program music in the usual sense of that over-worked term. There 669 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago is no story, nor is any realistic event being depicted. The title is merely some indication of the kind of feeling that went into the composition.” Earlier this summer Mr. Schuman was represented on a Ravinia program, when Désiré Defauw conducted the “Amer­ ican Festival Overture” on July 4. Born in New York -City in 1910 (tomorrow is his birthday), the composer is now a member of the faculty of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronx­ ^Jlte (jreateât ville, N. Y. He studied at Columbia University in New York, and also with Charles Haubiel and Roy Harris, as well as at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. His third C^ourâe symphony was awarded the 1942 prize mention of the New York Music Critics’ Circle, and is promised for performance in Orchestra Hall next season by Mr. Defauw.

    110991 bk Menuhin 8/03/2005 02:15pm Page 4 Producer’s Note ADD The Mendelssohn D minor concerto, recorded two days after Menuhin gave the world première public performance Great Violinists • Menuhin 8.110991 of the work in Carnegie Hall, was apparently only released in the United States. Fourteen months later, EMI re-recorded it in London, this time with Adrian Boult at the podium. The earlier version (which marked Menuhin’s first conducting credit on records) disappeared, and has not been available in any form since the 1950s. It has been transferred here from the best portions of three first edition RCA LPs. Menuhin’s recording of the composer’s more famous E minor concerto with Furtwängler conducting has been more readily available in the succeeding decades; yet the master tape is fraught with problems that can be heard MENDELSSOHN from its first (1952) LP release on RCA Victor through EMI’s CDs. What sounds like a tape tracking or bias problem during the original recording session causes the highs to go in and out during the tuttis. In addition, Violin Concerto in E minor occasional grittiness and electronic clicks can be heard on all editions. EMI waited two years to release it in Europe, perhaps in the hope that Menuhin and Furtwängler would re-record it with better sonic results. This transfer was Violin Concerto in D minor made from a French EMI LP pressing. While this was Menuhin’s second recording of the Mendelssohn E minor, the version of the Bruch concerto presented here was already his third attempt on disc.
