Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father. -

Andante II. Allegro marcato III. Adagio IV. Allegro giocoso Octavio Más-Arocas, conductor Program Notes Beethoven: Overture to Egmont Commissioned by the Vienna Burgtheater, Beethoven completed a set of incidental music consisting of an overture followed by a sequence of nine pieces for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s drama Egmont. The story is set in the Netherlands in 1567, where the Spanish autocratic rule brings agony to the Flemish. With the yearning of freedom, Count Egmont—a symbol of strength and courage—stands up for his town and leads the citizens to resist the invasion of the Spanish army. In the end, he dies a martyr’s death, intensifying the people’s fire to fight for their independence. It is said that Beethoven was forced to study music early in his childhood by his father. Though he became independent in adulthood, his childhood experience made the concept of freedom for the individual important in his mind. -
Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Since its launch in 1982, the Marco Polo label has for over twenty years sought to draw attention to unexplored repertoire.␣ Its main goals have been to record the best music of unknown composers and the rarely heard works of well-known composers.␣ At the same time it originally aspired, like Marco Polo himself, to bring something of the East to the West and of the West to the East. For many years Marco Polo was the only label dedicated to recording rare repertoire.␣ Most of its releases were world première recordings of works by Romantic, Late Romantic and Early Twentieth Century composers, and of light classical music. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again, particularly those whose careers were affected by political events and composers who refused to follow contemporary fashions.␣ Of particular interest are the operas by Richard Wagner’s son Siegfried, who ran the Bayreuth Festival for so many years, yet wrote music more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck. To Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich, Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan), and Bruder Lustig, which further explores the mysterious medieval world of German legend is now added Der Heidenkönig (The Heathen King).␣ Other German operas included in the catalogue are works by Franz Schreker and Hans Pfitzner. Earlier Romantic opera is represented by Weber’s Peter Schmoll, and by Silvana, the latter notable in that the heroine of the title remains dumb throughout most of the action. -

Center for Creative Teaching
Fall 2007 Curriculum ART HISTORY AH 2267.01 School of Paris, 1900 - 1950 Dan Hofstadter This course - not a survey! - is devoted to the art, mostly pictorial, created in Paris between 1900 and 1950. The artists studied are included strictly on the basis of quality, and their works will be analyzed with respect to aesthetic criteria alone. Particular attention will be devoted to Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Léger, Gris, Bonnard, Vuillard, Mondrian, and Derain; we'll also have a look at some sculpture and decorative work and at some of the lesser-studied artists of the Forties. Readings will consist of a blend of recent critical writings and early twentieth-century literature (in translation) by Apollinaire, Gide, Colette, and Leiris. Students will be expected to write a paper every week, comparing in detail a modern painting with a work from some other period or school, i.e., a Picasso with an African piece or a picture from the Spanish School, a Matisse with an Islamic work, a Vuillard with a Japanese screen, etc. Prerequisites: None. Credits: 4 Time: M, Th 9:15am – 12 noon, Th 6:30pm – 8:20pm (This course meets the first seven weeks of the term.) AH 2346.01 Facing Portraiture: The Construction of Identity from the Renaissance to the Present Danielle Steinmann This course will explore the genre of portraiture in visual art from the fifteenth century to the present, using the collections of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a framework. From the Mona Lisa to MySpace, the portrait has never been solely about what someone looks like, but rather a means of defining the sitter for posterity through representations of race, class, gender, age, and national and professional identity.
