I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.

  • Thinking Across Disciplines: Audience Responses to Clara Schumann's
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 Thinking across disciplines: Audience responses to Clara Schumann’s Dichterliebe at the Wigmore Hall Natasha Loges & Terry Clark, Royal College of Music, United Kingdom Abstract: Focusing on a single concert at the Wigmore Hall in February 2016, this paper explores audience responses to historically-informed concert programming from a dual perspective of historical musicology and social science. The concert programme involved the interspersing of a single cyclical work – Robert Schumann’s 1840 song-cycle Dichterliebe Op. 48 with individual numbers from other works, thus breaking up the anticipated sequence in a way typical of 19th-century concert programmes. The small-scale study established the general audience demographic for the concert, and then explored the role of several key factors on their appreciation of the concert, including their age, whether they played a musical instrument/sang, the importance of the venue, artists, repertoire, and finally the effect of the programme order and the historical authority which underpinned it. The writing-up process caused both authors to reflect on the challenges of exploring such phenomena from different epistemological perspectives. Keywords: audience response, concert programming, Wigmore Hall, German Lied, Schumann, Dichterliebe, cycle, 19th-century 1. Introduction and Aims This paper arose from a small-scale research project in 2016 on audience responses to historically-informed concert programming. However, as the study was undertaken jointly by a social scientist (Terry Clark, TC) and a historical musicologist (Natasha Loges, NL), it developed into an attempt to reflect on how scholarly collaboration, not just across disciplines but across epistemologies, can be mutually beneficial.
