  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Gli Esiliati in Siberia, Exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson
    Gli esiliati in Siberia, exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson How many times did Donizetti write or rewrite Otto mesi in due ore. No one has ever been quite sure: at least five times, perhaps seven - it depends how the changes he made are viewed. Between 1827 and 1845 he set and reset the music of this strange but true tale of heroism - of the eighteen-year-old daughter who struggled through snow and ice for eight months to plead with the Tsar for the release of her father from exile in Siberia, making endless changes - giving it a handful of titles, six different poets supplying new verses (including the maestro himself), with- and-without spoken dialogue, with-and-without Neapolitan dialect, with-and-without any predictable casting (the prima donna could be a soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto at will), and with-and-without any very enduring resolution at the end so that this extraordinary work has an even-more-fantastic choice of synopses than usual. It was this score that stayed with him throughout his years of international fame even when Lucia di Lammermoor and Don Pasquale were taking the world by storm. It is perfectly possible in fact that the music of his final revision of Otto mesi in due ore was the very last to which he turned his stumbling hand before mental collapse put an end to his hectic career. How did it come by its peculiar title? In 1806 Sophie Cottin published a memoir in London and Paris of a real-life Russian heroine which she called 'Elisabeth, ou Les Exilés de Sibérie'.

BOX 2580 ● Norfolk, VA 23501 PHONE: 757.627.9545 X 3316 EMAIL: [email protected] Virginia Opera Presents W.A. Mozart’s Don Giovanni Tale of Merciless Seducer Returns in Sixth Company Production: Performances Statewide November 2–18 Hampton Roads, Richmond, Fairfax, Virginia (October 9, 2018) — As the second opera production in its 44th season, Virginia Opera announces a new production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s ever-popular opera Don Giovanni. Statewide performances begin November 2, and conclude November 18, 2018 (please see complete list of venue locations and dates below). First performed in 1787 as Il dissoluto punito ossia il Don Giovanni (The rake punished also Don Giovan- ni), Mozart’s two-act opera traces the storied tale of the merciless seducer Don Juan in what has be- come one of the top ten most globally performed and timeless morality tales in operatic history. Come- dy and tragedy intermingle in ways only supernatural forces can address in the narrative of the legend- ary Spanish nobleman’s compulsive and destructive amorous conquests, leaving his ultimate fate in the hands of demons from the underworld as it reminds audiences that even those most powerful cannot avoid the consequences of their actions. Virginia Opera’s 2018 production of Don Giovanni represents the sixth time the company has ap- proached the classic—the last occurring in 2010—and, with it, acclaimed director Lillian Groag’s 24th VO production. Groag’s beloved veteran status is bookended by the exciting collection of emerging vocal talents making VO company debuts within the production.

I attribute the sudden rise and fall of interest in the genre to a large and noisy migration event—the flight of some 200,000 Huguenots from France. Dispersed across Western Europe and beyond, Huguenots maintained extensive networks that encouraged the exchange of ideas and of music. And it was precisely in the great centers of the Second Refuge that French opera was performed. Following the wide-ranging career path of Huguenot impresario, novelist, poet, and spy Jean-Jacques Quesnot de la Chenée, I construct an alternative history of French opera by tracing its circulation and transformation along Huguenot migration routes.

  • Manuel García (1805-1906) a Bicentenary Reflection
    1 Manuel García (1805-1906) A Bicentenary Reflection Teresa Radomski, M.M. Professor, Department of Music Consultant, Center for Voice Disorders Wake Forest University Winston-Salem, North Carolina, U.S.A. The “Christopher Columbus of the larynx” On March 17, 1905, Manuel Patricio Rodríguez García celebrated his one hundredth birthday in London, where he had resided since 1848. The preeminent voice teacher, who had been credited with the invention of the laryngoscope, was received personally by King Edward VII, and honored at a huge gala event. A newspaper account declared: “It may be said that there has never probably been a testimonial before wherein the arts and the physical sciences have so happily combined.”1 Citations were read by royal ambassadors from Spain and Germany, as well as representatives from numerous international laryngological societies and colleagues from the Royal Academy of Music, where García had taught until 1895. A highlight of the centenary celebration was the unveiling of García’s portrait, painted by John Singer Sargent, which caused the recipient to remark: “It is a strange experience to see one’s very self spring out at one from nothing in a flash.”2 Many of García’s former students, now acclaimed professional singers, were on hand to honor their illustrious teacher. One of these was Blanche Marchesi (1863-1940), the daughter of García’s greatest disciple, Mathilde Marchesi. Blanche presented a large bouquet of flowers in the red and yellow colors of Spain, with the inscription: “To the 2 Christopher Columbus of the larynx”.3 Representing García’s most famous pupil, Jenny Lind, was her husband, Otto Goldschmidt, who, “in a few words, rendered indistinct through emotion, declared that his wife to the end of her days continued to have veneration, regard and respect for the master who enabled her to attain her greatest musical position”.4 The García family Manuel García was a member of the most important family in the history of singing.
