  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Building Cultural Bridges: Benjamin Britten and Russia
    BUILDING CULTURAL BRIDGES: BENJAMIN BRITTEN AND RUSSIA Book Review of Benjamin Britten and Russia, by Cameron Pyke Maja Brlečić Benjamin Britten visited Soviet Russia during a time of great trial for Soviet artists and intellectuals. Between the years of 1963 and 1971, he made six trips, four formal and two private. During this time, the communist regime within the Soviet Union was at its heyday, and bureaucratization of culture served as a propaganda tool to gain totalitarian control over all spheres of public activity. This was also a period during which the international political situation was turbulent; the Cold War was at its height with ongoing issues of nuclear armaments, the tensions among the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom ebbed and flowed, and the atmosphere of unrest was heightened by the Vietnam War. It was not until the early 1990s that the Iron Curtain collapsed, and the Cold War finally ended. While the 1960s were economically and culturally prosperous for Western Europe, those same years were tough for communist Eastern Europe, where the people still suffered from the aftermath of Stalin thwarting any attempts of artistic openness and creativity. As a result, certain efforts were made to build cultural bridges between West and East, including efforts that were significantly aided by Britten’s engagements. In his book Benjamin Britten and Russia, Cameron Pyke portrays the bridging of the vast gulf achieved through Britten’s interactions with the Soviet Union, drawing skillfully from historical and cultural contextualization, Britten’s and Pears’s personal accounts, interviews, musical scores, a series of articles about Britten published in the Soviet Union, and discussions of cultural and political figures of the time.1 In the seven chapters of his book, Pyke brings to light the nature of Britten’s six visits and offers detailed accounts of Britten’s affection for Russian music and culture.

  • Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1
    DAVID ROSEN THOUGHTS ON DIEGETIC MUSIC IN THE EARLY OPERAS OF ZANDONAI1 Diegetic music – «music that (apparently) issues from a source within the narrative» (Gorbman, 23)2 – plays an important role in Zandonai’s early operas: not only does it appear frequently, but it often pushes the action forward, eliciting responses from the characters who hear it. And some of its uses are unusual, if not unprecedented. In this essay I focus on Il grillo del focolare but make cross-references to diegetic music in L’uccellino d’oro, Conchita, and Melenis as well. Readers unfamiliar with these operas may want to consult plot summaries, for example, in Dryden (469-79). Table 1 lists the passages referred to in this essay. 1 I want to express my thanks to the Centro internazionale di studi «Riccardo Zan- donai», especially to Diego Cescotti, Irene Comisso, and Federica Fortunato for assistance of all sorts before, during, and after the conference. Thanks go also to Gary Moulsdale for his comments on an earlier version of this text, to Ann Beck- man and other friends on WM-L (my favorite online opera discussion group) for answering some questions about precedents for certain uses of diegetic music, and to Carol Rosen for having translated into Italian the version of this essay that I delivered at the conference. 2 Citations refer to the Selective Bibliography at the end of this essay. The category ‘diegetic music’ thus includes both ‘musica in scena’ and ‘musica di scena’ (for the distinction see, for example, Girardi, 101-102). That is, it may include music emanating from offstage (whether in the wings or from the orchestra pit) or on- stage in full view of the audience.
