"Bird in Space" was among several pieces denied duty-free admission to the United States in 1926 on the ground that it was not a work of art and teas therefore taxable as a piece of bronze. The customs court decision on this point in favor of Mr. Brancusi was considered a great victory by champions of modern art. The American sculptor, William Zorach, says of this work that the artist has "taken the line of movement of a bird about to soar into space.

  • CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music
    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

    Westchester County Archives Series 139 2199 Saw Mill River Road Elmsford, New York 10523 Playland Phonograph Collection (914) 231-1500 1911‐1970 (bulk late 1920s‐1950s) Playland Phonograph Collection, 1911-1970, bulk late 1920s-1950s Series 139 Approximately 650 phonographs. Unarranged. Phonographs – both 10 and 12 inch – played from the Playland Music Tower and possibly the Playland Ice Casino. The collection includes classical music as well as popular tunes, including some Hawaiian-themed music. The collection is divided into five parts – a set of numbered records; numbered and unnumbered album collections; loose phonographs, and phonographs that were housed in their original album jackets. The album jackets have Braille identification tags because the disc jockey who worked at the Playland Music Tower was blind. There are two different indexes on note cards for the phonograph albums, but neither one appears to be complete or clear as to its exact use. Therefore, a new index has been completed by Archives’ volunteers. Please note: The Archives does not have playback equipment necessary to listen to the phonographs that make up this collection. The five subseries of this collection can be more fully described as follows: 1. A set of numbered records. These phonographs have individual number labels on them and run up through number 998. Each individual phonograph has 2 numbers on it – one for each side. However, the collection is not complete and there are only about 350 individual phonographs in this group. They were originally housed in 39 cardboard cases that held several individual phonographs. Due to the poor condition of these cases they were disposed during processing, although the case number was recorded.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 17, 2016 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] ALAN GILBERT AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC MAHLER’s DAS LIED VON DER ERDE Featuring Baritone Thomas Hampson and Tenor Stefan Vinke in His Philharmonic Debut SIBELIUS’s Symphony No. 7 April 20–22, 2016 “Discovering The Song of the Earth” Part of FREE INSIGHTS AT THE ATRIUM April 18, 2016 Alan Gilbert will conduct the New York Philharmonic in Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, featuring baritone Thomas Hampson and tenor Stefan Vinke, in his Philharmonic debut, and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 7, Wednesday, April 20, 2016, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, April 22 at 11:00 a.m. “Thomas Hampson’s interpretation of Mahler is unbelievably distinctive — he has such an affinity for this music,” says Alan Gilbert. “The tenor part is enormous and fiendishly difficult, so we are delighted to have engaged Stefan Vinke, who has the power and agility that Das Lied requires.” Long acclaimed as an interpreter of Mahler’s music, particularly in performances with Philharmonic Laureate Conductor Leonard Bernstein — who called Das Lied von der Erde Mahler’s “greatest symphony” — Thomas Hampson was the first to serve as the New York Philharmonic’s Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, a position Alan Gilbert introduced in the 2009–10 season, his first as Music Director. Mr. Hampson returned for the Orchestra’s EUROPE / SPRING 2011 tour, when he sang Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, led by Alan Gilbert.
