Instead of bringing an orchestra into your living room, bring home a pair of Bose Direct/Reflecting®speakers. Photo Courtesy of the Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston "Our" here means the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood. From time to time we shall bring you news of some of the former BMC students and their doings. The alumnus most prominently in the news this year is Zubin Mehta, who was a Fellow in 1958 and is now beginning his first season as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. That was a good year for conductors at Tangle- wood: one of Mehta's classmates was Claudio Abbado, whose current posts include the Vienna Philharmonic, the London Symphony, and Milan's La Scala opera house. Abbado will be guest conductor with the Boston Symphony on 8, 9, and 10 March, leading Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the Resurrection. Pianist Barbara Weintraub 77 recently took first place in the international competition in Munich as half of the best sonata team. Her partner was cellist Carter Brey. Weintraub and Brey, together with violinist Karen Clarke, also Tanglewood 77, have been performing together to great acclaim as the Rogeri Trio. Two players who have just joined the BSO are former Tanglewood students: violinist Joseph McGauley 75 and flutist Fenwick Smith 74. Another pianist, Janice Weber, who was a Fellow in 1975 and 1976, will give her second Carnegie Recital Hall concert on 31 October. Don't look for her under that name, though: she performs as Lily van Ballmoos. Billed as a Musical Mas- querade, her program consists of ten of the famous and fearsomely difficult tran- scriptions by Leopold Godowsky, each of which will be paired with the piece in its original version. Violinist Ann Ourada 72, 75, and 78 joined the Minnesota Orchestra for the 1978-79 season. David Howard 77 and 78 is the new bass clarinettist of the New Jersey Symphony. Three of the soloists in Bruckner's Te Deum, which Seiji Ozawa conducts on 11, 12, 13, and 16 January, are Tanglewood alumni. They are soprano Cheryl Studer 76 and 77, mezzo-soprano Janice Meyerson 76 and 77, and tenor Kim Scown 76 and 77. If you watched Berlioz's Beatrice and Benedict on Evening at Symphony on 16 October, you saw and heard Janice in the role of Ursule. Kim Scown will be appearing as Klaus-Narr in Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder when Seiji Ozawa conducts the work in March: he took the same part in the performance Gunther Schuller conducted at his farewell concert at the New England Conser- vatory in May 1977. Finally there is Shirley Mae Carter '54, who starred in the recent Norma broad- cast from the San Francisco Opera. Name doesn't ring a bell? Try Shirley Verrett. Belt in mens and women's sizes. as ,tfi r«ifi' VL* Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Shenyang, China in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. \ 1 Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besancon, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa pursues an active international career and is a regular and favorite guest conductor with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, and at the Salzburg Festival each year. He has conducted at Covent Garden, and returns to Japan annually to conduct the New Japan Philharmonic and other orchestras. The newest items on his large and growing discography with the Boston Symphony are Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite, and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, the Brahms First Symphony, and Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade (all on Deutsche Grammophon), and Roger Sessions's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom 'd (New World Records).

  • Opera Recordings: a Very Personal Guide by Ralph Moore

    Opera Recordings: a Very Personal Guide by Ralph Moore

    “Untouchable” and ”Most Recommendable” Opera Recordings: a very personal guide by Ralph Moore My handful of regular readers might have noticed some glaring omissions in the list of thirty-seven major operas whose discographies I have surveyed over the last couple of years - operas whose quality and popularity are such that one might reasonably have expected me to have included them in my labours. There are, after all, probably around fifty truly first-rate operas which have been most often performed and recorded and I have by no means covered them all. I received requests to survey some of the following but on consideration, I realised that there were good reasons for my reluctance to do so. The most obvious omissions are these twelve operas: Verdi’s La traviata and Il trovatore; Wagner’s Lohengrin and Tannhäuser; Mozart’s Don Giovanni; Puccini’s La bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot; Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia; Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Beethoven’s Fidelio. My reason for not having reviewed them collectively is that either the opera in question has received one or two recordings of such definitive quality that consideration of the others is otiose or there are so many good recordings of it in the catalogue that making a helpful or meaningful recommendation becomes difficult. I have therefore decided to circumvent the problem by making some brief, annotated recommendations and guidance for those major operas hitherto neglected. Obviously, my selections are highly subjective and controversial, and other collectors will be dismayed that I have ostensibly rejected their own candidates for recordings of classic status or nominated one they loathe but at the same time I think I may fairly claim that these are, in general, recordings which have stood the test of time.
  • Decca Discography

    Decca Discography

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

    Examining the Canadian Opera Company's Role in Opera Education in Ontario Schools: 1950-1 990

    Examining the Canadian Opera Company's Role in Opera Education in Ontario Schools: 1950-1 990 by Donnalee Smith B. A., Wilfrid Laurier University,l975 B. Ed., University of Toronto,I 976 Early Childhood Music Ed. Certificate, Ryerson University, 1997 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard O Donnalee Smith, 2004 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced, in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Supervisor: Dr. Betty Hanley Abstract As a music educator I discovered that many students shared my excitement about opera when it was part of their school program or on field trips to experience an opera. This discovery led me to wonder what opera education had been presented to teachers and students in the past and how effective these programs had been. This thesis examines the Canadian Opera Company's (COC) role in opera education in Ontario schools from 1950-1990. This historical study focuses on five major research questions to determine what happened in opera education for Ontario students over a 4-decade period. Data were collected in two ways. First, primary evidence was gathered from the Joan Baille Archives located in the Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre in Toronto. Secondly, I interviewed four people who had been closely associated with the COC and were eye witnesses to some of the events over the 4 decades.
