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. -

I Am Writing to Ask the Esther B. Kahn Charitable
To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to ask the Esther B. Kahn Charitable Foundation for a grant of $14,223 to support the launch of a ground-breaking project, Opera Research Online at Boston University. Of the total cost of the project $24,223? we have received a grant of $10,000 from the Boston University Humanities Foundation, and applications to the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Kahn Foundation are pending. Opera Research Online, a new initiative based at Boston University, aims to broaden and educate the audience for opera. For its debut project, it is creating an interactive website focusing on Giacomo Puccini’s “American” opera The Girl of the Golden West (La Fanciulla del West) based on the play by American playwright David Belasco. The launch of this site will coincide with the centennial of the opera’s premiere (December 1910), and a centennial performance at the Metropolitan Opera on December 10, 2010. The site will then continue indefinitely as a vehicle to inform and stimulate dialogue among scholars, educators, students, and the general public. Using previously unknown archival material, interactive features, a virtual museum, iconography, video interviews, video streaming, and links to other sites, the website will be designed to inform and stimulate dialogue among scholars, educators, students, and the general public. In addition, Boston University will have an exhibition in early December 2010 of related materials from the University’s Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center and host a symposium of specialists and scholars, such as Deborah Burton (Boston University), Carolyn Guzski (Buffalo State University), Harvey Sachs (Curtis Institute), Simonetta Puccini (the composer’s granddaughter) and Walfredo Toscanini (the conductor’s grandson). -

As I was working on this project, I found that I needed to raise my levels of score analysis and analytical thinking. Without Professor Fisher’s patience and guidance this would have been very difficult. I would like to convey my appreciation to Professor Stanford Olsen, whose intuitive understanding of musical style at the highest levels and ability to communicate that understanding has been a major factor in elevating my own abilities as a teacher and as a performer. -

A video paints a thousand pictures Fanfare changes tack Spotlight on MUC William Edwards III llow me to be the first to welcome you to our new Fanfare! From now on, Fanfare will arrive in your mailbox twice a Ayear. We’ll be sending information about upcoming per- formances and where we will be, separately. This will allow us to provide more in-depth stories and a new feature on the work done by our bands out in the fleet. Whether through music, imagery, video or articles, we’re always looking for new ways to reach more people, and to connect Americans with their Navy. We had a busy summer! June 5 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, one of the greatest naval battles the world has ever witnessed and a critical turning point in the Pacific during World War II. Navy bands supported commemoration events around the world. We even sent musicians to Midway Atoll, where a bugler and vocalist from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band participated in a globally-broadcast ceremony. Inspired by the “Greatest Generation,” our Sailors and civilians carry on that legacy of adaptation and resilience. Believe it or not, we’re already nearing the end of 2017. It’s been a great year, and we anticipate an even greater 2018. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts. Kenneth C.

Verdi's Rigoletto
Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered. -

Led by historical keyboardist John Austin Clark and violinist Alice Culin-Ellison, the ensemble varies in size based on a given programme, performing chamber music to full operatic spectacles throughout the year in a variety of venues.

Mr. Clark made his debut at Commonwealth Theatre Center this Fall directing William Finn's "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and will direct Kander and Ebb's "Cabaret" this Spring.
