The recordings in this series date from the mid-1940s through the late 1950s, and will feature several which have never before appeared on CD, as well as some that have not been available in MENOTTI any form in nearly half a century. The present recording of The Consul, which makes its CD début here, was made a month after the work’s (1911– 2007) Philadelphia première. American Decca was at the time primarily a “pop” label, the home of Bing Crosby and Judy Garland, and did not yet have much experience in the area of Classical music. Indeed, this recording seems to have been done more because of the work’s critical acclaim on the Broadway stage than as an opera, since Decca had The Consul also recorded Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman with members of the original cast around the same time.

  • Lavoce: Our Voice All and Winter Made Their Marks on More Than Fa Few Instruments This Year
    OF CLAIRE GIVENS VIOLINS, INC. SPRING 1999 LaVoce: our voice all and winter made their marks on more than Fa few instruments this year. Fluctuating climat- ic conditions in the fall followed by the sudden onslaught of winter and a stint of exceedingly dry air brought many customers to our shop to have a wide variety of concerns addressed, from troublesome e- strings to serious cracks. Caring for string instruments requires attention and dedication on the part of play- ers.Taking preventative measures and paying atten- tion to any changes in your instrument’s sound are crucial (poor sound quality can indicate open bouts and cracks).The two key climatic threats to string instruments are temperature and humidity. Keep humidity levels at 50% (35% at the least) in the room in which your instrument is regularly stored and played. If you use ‘Dampits,’check and dampen them regularly. Do not leave instruments near heating vents, radiators or in direct sunlight.Allow instru- ments to adjust gradually to temperature changes when transported from one location to another.

  • David Moritz Michael (1751–1827) 80580-2 Parthien 10-14 Pacific Classical Winds
    DAVID MORITZ MICHAEL (1751–1827) 80580-2 PARTHIEN 10-14 PACIFIC CLASSICAL WINDS David Moritz Michael’s woodwind Parthien are found only in the music collections of the early American Moravian settlements—Bethlehem, Lititz, and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and Salem, North Carolina. While Michael (1751–1827) lived only twenty of his seventy-six years in America (from his 44th to 64th year of age), he was not known as a composer in Europe, and none of his music found its way to the archives of the European Moravian churches. Parthien 10-14 are found only in the collections of the Philharmonic Society of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the Lititz, Pennsylvania, Collegium Musicum—thus this is not only “American” music, but specifically Pennsylvania music. David Moritz Michael wrote fourteen Parthien for combinations of clarinets, horns, and bassoons (with the occasional flute or trumpet). Exact dates for these compositions have not been established. These works, well within the tradition of the divertimento or serenade of the eighteenth century, were performed in concerts in Bethlehem and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and in informal serenades. Each consists of three to five movements with formal structures like those of the early classical symphonies, with movements generally longer than those of the two Water Journey suites. In addition to these Parthien, he wrote two Water Journey suites, designed to be used during the Whitmonday holiday celebrations in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While more serious in character than either of the Water Journey suites, the Parthien retain the light-hearted exuberance, even playful whimsy, of the eighteenth-century divertimento—including, nevertheless, some passages very reminiscent of Haydn’s Sturm und Drang writing.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.
