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. -
Recordings of Mahler Symphony No. 4
Recordings of Mahler Symphony No. 4 by Stan Ruttenberg, President, Colorado MahlerFest SUMMARY After listening to each recording once or twice to get the general feel, on bike rides, car trips, while on the Internet etc, I then listened more carefully, with good headphones, following the score. They are listed in the survey in about the order in which I listened, and found to my delight, and disgust, that as I went on I noticed more and more details to which attention should be paid. Lack of time and adequate gray matter prevented me from going back and re-listening all over again, except for the Mengelberg and Horenstein recordings, and I did find a few points to change or add. I found that JH is the ONLY conductor to have the piccolos play out adequately in the second movement, and Claudio Abbado with the Vienna PO is the only conductor who insisted on the two horn portamenti in the third movement.. Stan's prime picks: Horenstein, Levine, Reiner, Szell, Skrowaczewski, von Karajan, Abravanel, in that order, but the rankings are very close. Also very good are Welser- Most, and Klemperer with Radio Orchestra Berlin, and Berttini at Cologne. Not one conductor met all my tests of faithfulness to the score in all the too many felicities therein, but these did the best and at the same time produced a fine overall performance. Mengelberg, in a class by himself, should be heard for reference. Stan's soloist picks: Max Cencic (boy soprano with Nanut), in a class by himself. Then come, not in order, Davrath (Abravanel), Mathes (von Karajan), Trötschel (Klemperer BRSO), Raskin (Szell), Blegen (Levine), Della Casa (Reiner), Irmgard Seefried (Walter), Jo Vincent (Mengelberg), Ameling (Haitink RCOA), Ruth Zeisek (Gatti), Margaret Price with Horenstein, and Kiri Te Kanawa (Solti), Szell (Rattle broadcast), and Battle (Maazel). -

Cantants, Intèrprets, Directors... Títol: Birgit Nilsson I Bayreut
WAGNERIANA CATALANA Nº 24 ANY 2006 TEMA 6: CANTANTS, INTÈRPRETS, DIRECTORS... TÍTOL: BIRGIT NILSSON I BAYREUT. MEMÒRIES DE BIRGIT NILSSON. Segona part AUTOR: Birgit Nilsson La primera part d’aquest capítol “Med ett ord, Bayreuth!” (En un sol mot, Bayreuth) del llibre “La Nilsson” de Birgit Nilsson (ISBN9170548765) editat en suec per Fischer & Co Estocolm, 1995 va ésser publicat en el número anterior, el mes de Novembre de 2005. Birgit Nilsson encara vivia. Ens va deixar el desembre de l’any passat. Serveixi aquesta traducció, extreta del text alemany editat per Krüger amb el títol “Mein Leben für die Oper”. com a petit homenatge a la memòria de la gran soprano que va interpretar tant bé les heroïnes wagnerianes. El setembre de 1956 em trobava a Buenos Aires, cantant la Mariscala del “Cavaller de la Rosa” de Strauss i la Donna Anna del “Don Giovanni” de Mozart. El primer dia de la Primavera argentina, el 21 de setembre, vaig rebre un telegrama de Wolfgang Wagner preguntant-me si l’any següent, 1957, voldria cantar la Isolda. I tant que ho volia!. Isolda a Bayreuth!. Quina felicitat! Immediatament, però, vaig recordar que encara em calia mostrar-me ofesa; així doncs vaig telegrafiar dient que no hi estava interessada. Va seguir un altre telegrama, molt afalagador, amb informació referent a directors i cantants Vaig començar a dubtar de la meva decisió. Vaig consultar en Bertil com creia ell que em calia comportar-me. Ell opinà que no havia d’oblidar que en aquell moment (els més famosos teatres d’Òpera internacionals m’havien començat a fer l’aleta amb temptadors contractes) Bayreuth estava més interessat a guanyar-me com Isolda, que jo a retornar a Bayreuth. -

A Collection of Stan Ruttenberg's Reviews of Mahler Recordings From
A collection of Stan Ruttenberg’s Reviews of Mahler Recordings from the Archives Of the Colorado MahlerFest (Symphonies 3 through 7 and Kindertotenlieder) Colorado MahlerFest XIII Recordings of the Mahler Third Symphony Of the fifty recordings listed in Peter Fülöp’s monumental discography (up to 1955, and many more have been added since then), I review here fifteen at my disposal, leaving out two by Boulez and one by Scherchen as not as worthy as the others. All of these fifteen are recommendable, all with fine points, all with some or more weaknesses. I cannot rank them in any numerical order, but I can say that there are four which I would rather hear more than the others — my desert island choices. I am glad to have the others for their own particular merits. Getting ready for MFest XIII we discovered that the matter of score versions and parts is complex. I use the Dover score, no date but attributed to Universal Edition; my guess this is an early version. The Kalmus edition is copied from who knows which published version. Then there is the “Critical Edition,” prepared by the Mahler Gesellschaft, Vienna. I can find two major discrepancies between the Dover/Universal and the Critical (I) the lack of horns at RN25-5, doubling the string riff and (ii) only two harp glissandi at the middle of RN28, whereas the Critical has three. Our first horn found another. Both the Dover and Critical have the horn doublings, written ff at RN 67, but only a few conductors observe them.
