At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.

  • Ricordi's Bellini Complete Edition
    VINCENZO BELLINI: Critical Edition of the Complete Works (Editorial Board: Fabrizio Della Seta, Alessandro Roccatagliati, and Luca Zoppelli; Managing Editor: Marco Uvietta). Ricordi, Milano [dist. University of Chicago Press] Vol. XV: Instrumental Works (ed. Andrea Chegai). [one volume plus critical commentary] Vol. VI: I Capuleti e I Montecchi (ed. Claudio Toscani). [two volumes plus critical commentary] Vol. VII: La sonnambula (ed. Alessandro Roccatagliati & Luca Zoppelli). [one volume plus critical commentary] One of the more convenient if sad facts about Bellini (1801‐35) is that his early death just shy of his thirty‐fourth birthday means that his complete works are of manageable size: ten operas (a couple in more than a single version), and a handful of miscellaneous instrumental and vocal pieces. Ricordi’s projected Complete Edition, including sketches and fragments, should run to a mere sixteen volumes, which means that at least some of us should still be around to see its completion: an exciting prospect. Bellini was also, famously, a careful worker, which is not to say that he was notably slow at his job—no one at the time could afford to be that—but he chose his projects with discernment and (like Rossini) notated his scores with both accuracy and finesse. Establishing a basic text faithful to his expressed intentions is thus a matter of some importance. There’s a very common prejudice against 19th century Italian music, and that of the Bel Canto school in particular, which holds that progress in the art of composition occurred mostly in the field of instrumental music, and primarily in Germany, at least until Wagner brought the “music of the future” into the theater as well.

  • Dennis Brain Discography
    DENNIS BRAIN ON RECORD A Comprehensive Discography Compiled by Robert L. Marshall Fourth Edition, 2011 FOREWORD This is the fourth, and no doubt final, revision of the “Comprehensive Inventory by Composer” section from my book, Dennis Brain on Record: A Comprehensive Discography of his Solo, Chamber and Orchestral Recordings, originally published in 1996, with a foreword by Gunther Schuller (Newton, Mass: Margun Music, Inc.). Most of the additions and corrections contained in the present list were brought to my attention by Dr. Stephen J. Gamble who, over the course of the past fifteen years, has generously shared his discographical findings with me. Although many of these newly listed items also appear in the discography section of the recently published volume Dennis Brain: A Life in Music, co-authored by Dr. Gamble and William C. Lynch (University of North Texas Press), it seemed useful nonetheless to make an updated, integral version of the “comprehensive” inventory available as well. There is one significant exception to the claim of “comprehensiveness” in the present compilation; namely, no attempt has been made here to update the information relating to Dennis Brain’s film studio activities. All the entries in that regard included here were already listed in the original publication of this discography. The total number of entries itemized here stands at 1,791. In the original volume it was 1,632. All the newly added items are marked in the first column with an asterisk after the composer’s name. (It will be interesting to see whether any further releases are still forthcoming.) The entries themselves have been updated in other respects as well.

  • The Oboe Concerto of John Harbison: a Guide to Analysis, Performance, and the Collaboration with Oboist, William Bennett
    THE OBOE CONCERTO OF JOHN HARBISON: A GUIDE TO ANALYSIS, PERFORMANCE, AND THE COLLABORATION WITH OBOIST, WILLIAM BENNETT DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ann Fronckowiak, M.M. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Document Committee: Approved by: Professor Robert Sorton, Adviser Dr. Russel Mikkelson _____________________ Adviser Dr. Jere Forsythe Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Ann Fronckowiak 2006 ABSTRACT Oboists are extremely fortunate to have a twentieth-century concerto written by John Harbison, a highly sought after, award-winning, and prolific American composer, in their repertory. Unfortunately, this significant work has not yet been fully integrated into the standard repertoire due to its complexities and a lack of thorough scholarly documentation. I hope to change this by being the first to complete such documentation. The project includes proper analysis of the work and a study of the collaboration between John Harbison and William Bennett, the oboist for whom the piece was written, to identify how much the performer influenced the composition. In addition, performance concerns and difficulties, along with their subsequent suggestions for interpretation and execution, are contained in the text. Harbison, former composer-in-residence with the Pittsburgh Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is a Pulitzer Prize winner. He wrote his Oboe Concerto in 1990-1991 for William Bennett, principal oboist of the San Francisco Symphony. This study utilized many different methods. I have collected biographical information on Harbison and Bennett and documented the historical context of the concerto, including its conception, collaborative process, and premiere.
