September 30, 195>7 « WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING « CLASSICAL ALBUMS LM-6702 RIVE BEETHOVEN PIANO CONCERTOS/ARTUR RUBINSTEIN The Jewish Advocate, Sept. £/f>7s w0ne does not ordinarily think of Rubinstein in connection (Martin Bookspan) with the Five Beethoven Concertos (though, as a matter of fact, he previously recorded the Third with Toscanini and the Fourth with Beecham), which perhaps helps to explain some of the overwhelming impression created by this set of discs# These five towering masterpieces are played with granite « like strength^ all technical obstacles in the piano parts cease to exist for Rubinstein and he is able to concentrate on the other interpretive problems which the works pose. Also evident in the performances is a most congenial rapport between the pianist and con­ ductor which results in moments of really magical en­ semble, like the absolute togetherness of piano release and orchestra attack in the final statement of the rondo theme of the finale of the Fourth Concerto after the solo« istls cadenza» It is probably the stormy scenes in these-works which benefit most from Rubinstein’s vigor*©specially, perhaps, in the ^Emperor” Concerto-but even such a section as the slow movement of the Fourth Concerto, which in its seventy bars conveys a message whose import cannot be communicated by words, is made to glow in th e incandescence of this performance« To all the above must be added really excellent recorded sound,« This is a release of which all concerned may be very proudj it is certainly one of the most im- portant and successful undertakings in recent recording history«, The New York Herald Tribune,2 wIf Hercules had taken up music rather than weight-lifting, he Sept. 22, 19^7 probably would have played the piano like Artur Rubinstein# (Herbert Kupferberg) For the last few years, Mr. Rubinstein has been touring the country giving marathon recitals, playing as many as three concertos a night. At the end of each concert he leaves the audience at once stupefied, conquered, and ready to believe thai he could, if he wished, tuck the piano under his arm and walk out with it# Now Mr. Rubinstein has just completed a prodigious recording project*an album containing the five Beethoven Piano Concertos, all played with the Symphony of the Air conducted PAGE 2 « WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING « (continued) by Josef Krips (Victor LM~6?02, $13.98,° the five: records are also available singly at $3*98 each)B So dashing and dazzling are.these performances that you get the impression that Rubinstein only wishes that Beethoven had written a few more concertos for him to play« Yet there is nothing cocksure or casual in his approach^ Rubinstein is a great dramatist among pianists., and he has meat to feed on in these concertos*** CBI^lOO THE ART OF ROSA PONSELIE Record Roundup « The Saturday Reviews WA precious pair of LPls, at an economy price., (Irving Kolodin) tracing the great soprano* s career from 1921; to 1939* Among her associates in historic opera ensembles are Giovanni Martinelli, Ezio Pinza and Marion Telva* Not hi-fi, but highly satisfying» (Camden)«** CAL»3h8 HARPED BAUER CAM77 MORIZ ROSENTHAL New York Herald Tribune,g wTwo great pianists of the past, Harold Bauer and Moriz Rosen­ (Herbert Kupferberg) thal, are represented onRoC.A.‘s low-priced Camden label« Septo 22, 1937 This, is Bauer's second Camden recording (‘CAL*3h8, $1,98)$ it consists of short pieces by Grieg, Schumann, Brahms and others, all lustrously played. The Rosenthal record (CAL-377, $1,98) contains a remarkable performance of Chopin's Sonata in B minor, made in 19393 and briefer works by Handel, Liszt, Chopin and Johann Strauss (the «Blue Danube**) dating in recording from 1928 to 19h29 Rosenthal was never one of the great tonal- ists, and he made his share of errors in execution (he recorded before the days of tape, when r ecordings were issued as you made them,without subsequent replaying and editing)» But for sheer lyricism, the maintaining of a singing line from start to finish, this is one of the greatest of all recorded Chopin Sonatas* Rosenthal was a pianist who loved music as well as the piano, and his deep feeling for his art is evident in every measure»** POPULAR and JAZZ ALBUMS LPM-lli9b MARVELOUS MILLER MOODS/GIENN MILLER/ARMY AIR FORCE BAND Saturday Review - Record Roundup? «A collection of fine arrangements of popular favori tes (.Irving Kolodin) as played by the celebrated Air Force Band led by the late Glenn Miller» »Star Dust,»» «People Will Say We're In Love,** **My Ideal,« «Long Ago and Ear Away« are some of the best*« " WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING " (continued) LPM-15U8 thinking of you/eddie fisher Pittsburgh Sun«Telegraphs "Eddie Fisher may have lost ground in the past year or so, but he’s August 10/f>7 bound to regain a lot of that popularity with his latest RCA« Victor LP, Thinking Of You© This is a slick album, full of the songs which helped Eddie on his way up to the big time, and these same tunes might just do the trick in restoring the pleasant-voiced Eddie to'his right­ ful position.

  • A Column Especially for All of You Who Hate Me
    A Column Especially for All of You Who Hate Me Some of you may remember the old Perry Como musical variety TV show – and the segment that began with a chorus singing, “Letters, we get letters, we get lots and lots of letters ….” The next line was “Dear Perry, would you be so kind …” – and then Perry would be so kind to sing an audience favorite from his stack of letters. Well, this past week, like Perry, I got lots and lots of letters. Except mine began with “Dear Bernie” and ended with, “You’re going to burn in Hell you stupid bastard” – or words to that effect. Seems like a lot of people who come to this site and watch Bill O’Reilly weren’t happy with my column that said we owe a debt of gratitude to rich people. Imagine an America, without rich people, I wrote. Rich people pay most of the federal income taxes in this country and therefore pick up the lion’s share of the tab for all sorts of programs that help the poor. Despite the fact that I didn’t write a single word demeaning poor people or lower middle-class people – or anybody else — I got lots and lots of letters calling me names I’d rather not repeat here. Then I went on the Factor with Bill to talk about my column – which was provocatively entitled “Thank God for Rich People.” After I gave him a brief description of the column, Bill asked me about Jesus’ observation that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle that it would for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

  • We Are Very Proud to Have You on Greek Rebels, We Believe That You
    We are very proud to have you on Greek Rebels, we believe that you are actually one of the 'hot' names out there in the European hard rock scene nowadays, so thank you very much for your time. We also have recently reviewed your new project, under the name Nordic Union, which is a really cool album. What is the reception so far, from the media, the fans? Are you satisfied with it? I would say, the reception has been fantastic, its phenomenal to be honest. The reviews are great, it's even getting airplay on the radio, it's getting on the charts, even the mainstream medias in Sweden are picking it up and writing about it. I never ever experienced that they write about something like this. Yes, I just saw that you posted that you are on nu. 4 or nu. 5 on the Swedish hard rock charts today, which is really good. You never had any prior success on the charts with your other bands or projects? Yes, with Eclipse and with W.E.T. we actually went to nu.1, a couple of years ago. If it wasn't, well I mean, that almost the same day Dream Theater released their album, just one week earlier Megadeth and Avantasia the same day, there are so many good bands and big names. If we would have released it a month later, maybe the competition would not have been so big, maybe we could have landed on nu. 1 Yes, so I wanted to ask you, you have collaborated for Nordic Union with a very big singer, Ronnie Atkins.

  • User-Agent : If Everything Is So Smooth, Why Am I So Sad? User- Agent : Today, Any Inhabitant of a City Is Treated As a Computational User by Default
    User-Agent : If everything is so smooth, why am I so sad? User- Agent : Today, any inhabitant of a city is treated as a computational User by default. Smooth 4 5 interfaces and real-time feedback loops augment our urban experiences, making us feel empowered, while subjecting us to processes of profiling, quantification, optimization and isolation. However, the sense of comfort and personal freedom that is gained comes at the cost of political agency and autonomy. This book aims to investigate what it means to be a human User in today’s technological infrastructures. While it attempts to grasp and map out a complex structural issue, it also reflects on the impossibility of addressing the problem alone, from a singular vantage point or field of expertise. Drawing on interviews with practitioners, including policy researchers, UX designers, software developers, architects, journalists, artists, social activists and media theorists, it brings together new (and sometimes opposing) perspectives on the issue. What strategies can we employ to gain more agency? How can we become aware of our own position and be re-politicised? And what does it mean to create and distribute printed content in the age of ubiquitous computation? 11 interviews, accompanied by a short essay, represent one of the many possible constellations of disparate ideas, viewpoints and inter- disciplinary strategies for contesting platform capitalism.
