The Eastman Philharmonia’s recent performance of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, under the guest baton of Brad Lubman, was just such an occasion. Prepared and conducted su- perbly by Brad, and exuberantly performed by students clearly amped up by the music and the occasion, the raw beauty of one of Stravinsky’s greatest works came to stunning life.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>2 GREAT BRITAIN: ffrr, 1944-57 In a business where exclusive contracts were the norm, it was very difficult for a newcomer to become established and Decca’s initial roster of classical artists was unable to compete with established rivals. In March 1932 an agreement with Polydor provided access to a substantial catalogue of German artists and a year later the company virtually abandoned classical recording to concentrate on dance bands. The move to Thames Street Studios provided more scope for orchestral sessions and a bold policy of recording contemporary British music enhanced the label’s reputation. The newly formed Boyd Neel Orchestra was signed up in 1934, followed by the Griller String Quartet in 1935, Clifford Curzon in 1937, Peter Pears in 1944, Kathleen Ferrier in 1946 and Julius Katchen in 1947. War broke the link with Polydor, leaving Decca with a respectable catalogue of chamber music, but little symphonic repertoire. Armed with ffrr technology, the company began to remedy this in 1944, engaging Sidney Beer’s National Symphony Orchestra until 1947 and the misleadingly named New Symphony Orchestra (it had made its first recordings in 1909) from 1948. Neither developed into a house band to rival EMI’s Philharmonia and, with the Royal Philharmonic also exclusive to EMI, Decca had to resort to the LSO and the LPO, both in rather run-down condition in the post-war years. Meanwhile every opportunity was taken to impress visiting continental orchestras with ffrr sessions and it was evident that the company intended to transfer much of its symphonic work to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Vienna as soon as practicable.

  • Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER of the MIDWESTERN GILBERT and SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46 As is invariably the case, it's been one thing after another lately. Thanks to Michaem Miano and Carol Lee Cole, we have something ready-made to put in the Nonsense. Once things cool slow down at work, S/A Cole will have time to go through the piles of material, and put out a full-blown issue. Michael Miano and Carol Lee Cole both submitted their pieces in computer-readable form, and they appear here as they were submitted (I may spell-check them, but that'll be about it). While the Nonsense doesn't necessarily stand for an unrestricted press, its editorial staff certainly believes in letting people express their opinions. And if readers want to debate points, that's great. S/A Cole will be happy to forward messages. Anyway, it ought to make for interesting reading. Sarah Cole thanks all the membership of the Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society for their patience over the last two years; and especially thanks the other G&S societies, who have been tremendously indulgent with the MGS's difficulties. We hope to return the kindness some day. In the meantime, here's what we've got. Oh Members, How Say You, What Is it You've The 1995 MGS Big Quiz Answers Done? At first, these weren't going to be included.

  • Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society
    NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY September 1990 -- Issue 27 But the night has been long, Ditto, Ditto my song, And thank goodness they're both of 'em over! It isn't so much that the night was long, but that the Summer was (or wasn't, as the case may be). This was not one of S/A Cole's better seasons: in June, her family moved to Central Illinois; in July, the computer had a head crash that took until August to fix, and in that month, she was tired and sick from all the summer excitement. But, tush, I am puling. Now that Autumn is nearly here, things are getting back to normal (such as that is). Since there was no summer Nonsense, there is all kinds of stuff in this issue, including the answers to the Big Quiz, an extended "Where Can it Be?/The G&S Shopper", reports on the Sullivan Festival and MGS Annual Outing, and an analysis of Thomas Stone's The Savoyards' Patience. Let's see what's new. First of all, we owe the Savoy-Aires an apology. Oh, Members, How Say You, S/A Cole had sincerely believed that an issue of the What is it You've Done? Nonsense would be out in time to promote their summer production of Yeomen. As we know now, Member David Michaels appeared as the "First no Nonsense came out, and the May one didn't even Yeomen" in the Savoy-Aires' recent production of mention their address. Well, we're going to start to The Yeomen of the Guard.

  • Precious Nonsense
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY May 2001 -- Issue 62 On your allegiance, we've a stronger claim! We charge you yield in Queen Victoria's Name! (It was either that, or "Say, why is everything either at Sixes or at Sevens?" because things in the Cole Household have been at multiples of 13 all over the place. But be that as it may.) Recently, during a discussion of drama with someone marginally familiar with the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, he remarked that they were too smart for their own good; that, from what he had read, the Jesse Helms-types would never have let them be performed. I responded that, I don't know about the ultra-conservatives, but these days, when a parody of Gone With the Wind is legally mistaken for a sequel, two (and possibly three or four) of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas would never have made it to the stage at all. There's Princess Ida ("A respectful per-version of Tennyson's The Princess"), Yeomen of the Guard (which had a lot of similarity with an earlier opera Maritana), possibly Sorcerer (with themes similar to those in L'Elisir D'Amore). And then there are the "digs" at well-known personalities in Pinafore and Patience. And, of course, there's the well-documented fears of "political incorrectness" at various times with Mikado. So isn't it great that Gilbert and Sullivan produced their work when they did: just think of all the joy that work wouldn't have been able to provide if they had tried to present it before or after Queen Victoria's Glorious (and what appear to be artistically generous) Days.
