825646079285.Pdf ANTONÍN DVO RˇÁK 1841–1904 Violin Concerto in A minor, Op.53 1 I Allegro ma non troppo 11.19 2 II Adagio ma non troppo 10.41 3 III Finale: Allegro giocoso 10.00 4 Romance in F minor, Op.11 13.11 45.12 ITZHAK PERLMAN violin London Philharmonic Orchestra/Daniel Barenboim 2 Producer Suvi Raj Grubb, Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim Photo: © Gérard Neuvecelle 3 Dvořák: Violin Concerto Antonín Dvo rˇák had about as much luck with the dedicatee of his violin concerto, the great Joseph Joachim, as Tchaikovsky had with his, the no less illustrious Leopold Auer. Although Joachim agreed to do a critical analysis of the first draft — resulting in a radical reworking of the piece – he did not give the premiere of the finished article, that privilege instead falling to the young Czech violinist Franti šek Ond rˇícˇek (1857–1922), in Prague on 14 October 1883. Acclaimed from the outset by both performers and audiences, the work soon took a place of honour among the great Romantic concertos, if without achieving quite the same level of celebrity as the Brahms or the Tchaikovsky. That said, there are today more than fifty official recordings available: before Perlman, all the stars of the violin world, with the exception of Heifetz, who never recorded it, had left their stamp on it. Yehudi Menuhin recorded the concerto as early as 1936, and was followed by Georg Kulenkampff (1941), Vá ša P rˇíhoda (1943), David Oistrakh (1949), Nathan Milstein (who became the work’s champion, with three versions, in 1951, 1957 and 1966), Johanna Martzy (1953) and Isaac Stern (1965). This performance by Perlman, on one of his earliest albums, revealed the depth of his affection for Dvo rˇák’s music — he would go on to record the Sonatina and Four Romantic Pieces as well (see volume 36). His choice to couple the Concerto with the delightful Romance in F minor underlines his particular fondness for the latter, a work he had already recorded for RCA in 196 7, and which he would return to again years later, this time for Sony in 1993. The Romance is Dvo rˇák’s 1877 violin arrangement of the slow movement of his String Quartet, Op.9, later published as his Op.11. Brimming with gentle languor and delicate charm, the arrangement works perfectly for the discreetly sentimental Romantic solo instrument. While there is also a version with piano accompaniment, it is more frequently recorded with orchestra, and the versions set down by Josef Suk (1960) and Isaac Stern (1966) in this form probably inspired the young Itzhak Perlman to follow suit. Jean-Michel Molkhou Translation: Susannah Howe 4 Dvořák : Concerto pour Violon Antonín Dvo rˇák n’eut pas plus de chance avec le dédicataire de son concerto pour violon, le grand Joseph Joachim, que Tchaïkovski avec le sien, le non moins illustre Leopold Auer. Si Joachim accepta de faire une analyse critique du premier jet — qui aboutira à une refonte radicale de l’œuvre — le vénérable maître n’assura pas pour autant la création de la version définitive, et c’est au jeune violoniste tchèque Franti šek Ond rˇícˇek (1857–1922) qu’en revint le prestige, à Prague le 14 octobre 1883. Appréciée d’emblée par les solistes comme par le public, l’œuvre prit une place d’honneur au sein des grands concertos romantiques, sans atteindre toutefois la notoriété de ceux de Brahms ou de Tchaïkovski. Sa discographie, forte aujourd’hui de plus de cinquante versions officielles, suffit à en témoigner. Avant Perlman, les plus grands noms — à l’exception d’Heifetz qui ne l’enregistra jamais — y avaient laissé leur empreinte. C’est ainsi que les gravures de Yehudi Menuhin dès 1936, puis de Georg Kulenkampff (1941), de Vá ša Prˇíhoda (1943), David Oïstrakh (1949), de Nathan Milstein (qui s’en fit le champion avec trois enregistrements en 1951, 1957 et 1966), de Johanna Martzy (1953) ou encore d’Isaac Stern (1965) ont marqué l’histoire de cet Opus 53. Ce témoignage de Perlman, très précoce dans sa discographie personnelle, témoignait de son attirance pour la musique de Dvo rˇák, qu’il allait plus tard enrichir de la Sonatine et des Quatre Pièces romantiques (volume 36). Le couplage à la délicieuse Romance en fa mineur confirmait son affection particulière pour une page qu’il avait déjà gravée une première fois sous étiquette RCA (1967), et sur laquelle il reviendrait encore plus tard, cette fois-ci chez Sony (1993). Extraite du Quatuor op. 9, dont elle est le mouvement lent, Dvo rˇák en rédigea un arrangement pour violon en 1877, qui fut publié sous le numéro d’opus 11. Pleine d’une douce langueur, toute empreinte d’un charme délicat cette Romance convient parfaitement à un violon romantique, discrètement sentimental. Connue également dans une version avec accompagnement de piano, elle est plus volontiers enregistrée avec orchestre, forme sous laquelle les gravures de Josef Suk (1960) ou d’Isaac Stern (1966) avaient probablement inspiré le jeune Itzhak Perlman. Jean-Michel Molkhou 5 Dvořák: Violinkonzert Antonín Dvo rˇák hatte mit dem Widmungsträger seines Konzertes für Violine, dem großen Joseph Joachim, nicht mehr Glück als Tschaikowsky mit seinem, dem nicht weniger renommierten Leopold Auer. Wenn sich Joachim bereit erklärte, eine kritische Analyse des ersten Entwurfs vorzunehmen — die zu einer vollständigen Umarbeitung des Werkes führen sollte —, so übernahm der ehrwürdige Meister doch nicht die Uraufführung des Konzertes, und es war der junge tschechische Geiger Franti šek Ond rˇícˇek (1857–1922), dem am 14. Oktober 1883 in Prag diese Ehre zukam. Das Werk, von Solisten und Publikum auf Anhieb geschätzt, nahm unter den Konzerten der Romantik bald einen Ehrenplatz ein, ohne allerdings so bekannt zu werden wie die Konzerte von Brahms oder Tschaikowsky. Die über fünfzig offiziellen Einspielungen, die es heute gibt, sind Beweis genug. Vor Perlman hinterließen Geiger mit den größten Namen — mit Ausnahme von Heifetz, der es nie aufnahm — in der Diskographie dieses Werkes ihre Spuren. So sind die Einspielungen von Yehudi Menuhin (1936), dann Georg Kulenkampff (1941), Váša Prˇíhoda (1943), David Oistrach (1949), Nathan Milstein (von dem gleich drei Einspielungen stammen, aus den Jahren 1951, 1957 und 1966), Johanna Martzy (1953) oder auch Isaac Stern (1965) Meilensteine in der Geschichte dieses op. 53. Diese Interpretation Perlmans, sehr früh in seiner persönlichen Diskographie, bezeugt seine Verbundenheit mit der Musik Dvo rˇák s, und er sollte ihr später die Sonatine und die Vier romantischen Stücke hinzufügen (Album 36). Die Kopplung mit der zauberhaften Romanze in f -Moll bestätigte Perlmans besondere Vorliebe für ein Stück, das er bereits für RCA (1967) eingespielt hatte und auf das er später noch einmal zurückkommen sollte, diesmal bei Sony (1993). Es geht auf den langsamen Satz aus seinem Streichquartett op. 9 zurück, den er für Violine bearbeitete und unter der Opuszahl 11 veröffentlichte. Voller süßer Wehmut und von zartem Charme, eignet sich die Romanze hervorragend für eine romantische, leicht sentimentale Violine. Auch in einer Version mit Klavierbegleitung bekannt, wird sie lieber mit Orchester eingespielt, einer Form, in der die Aufnahmen von Josef Suk (1960) oder Isaac Stern (1966) den jungen Itzhak Perlman offenbar inspiriert hatten.

    110991 bk Menuhin 8/03/2005 02:15pm Page 4 Producer’s Note ADD The Mendelssohn D minor concerto, recorded two days after Menuhin gave the world première public performance Great Violinists • Menuhin 8.110991 of the work in Carnegie Hall, was apparently only released in the United States. Fourteen months later, EMI re-recorded it in London, this time with Adrian Boult at the podium. The earlier version (which marked Menuhin’s first conducting credit on records) disappeared, and has not been available in any form since the 1950s. It has been transferred here from the best portions of three first edition RCA LPs. Menuhin’s recording of the composer’s more famous E minor concerto with Furtwängler conducting has been more readily available in the succeeding decades; yet the master tape is fraught with problems that can be heard MENDELSSOHN from its first (1952) LP release on RCA Victor through EMI’s CDs. What sounds like a tape tracking or bias problem during the original recording session causes the highs to go in and out during the tuttis. In addition, Violin Concerto in E minor occasional grittiness and electronic clicks can be heard on all editions. EMI waited two years to release it in Europe, perhaps in the hope that Menuhin and Furtwängler would re-record it with better sonic results. This transfer was Violin Concerto in D minor made from a French EMI LP pressing. While this was Menuhin’s second recording of the Mendelssohn E minor, the version of the Bruch concerto presented here was already his third attempt on disc.

  • 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.

The Elgar Foundation series of concerts is reported, but we must also mention the brave series of performances at Hereford, when there was a great deal of music-making and much less-familiar Elgar was perform­ ed. Our thanks and congratulations to all concerned. We gather that financial results were disappointing, but the organisers should not be too disheartened, These are difficult times all over the country. and many organisations and commercial ventures meet problems which were not in evidence two or three years ago. However, the history of music shows that it usually triumphs over economic problems in the end, and the Society, we are glad to say, is in good heart, and is still growing. Music is a vital part of our lives, and Elgar's music in par­ ticular is a constant source of strength as well as a marvellous source of relaxation.

Neither showy nor demonstrative, it seeks instead to express the noblest aspirations of the human soul. It’s the ideal blueprint, a model of majesty, serenity and grandeur, its beauty never-ending. It’s also the most tranquil and poetic of all violin concertos. The slightest lapse in taste would disfigure it, the slightest hint of ostentation would be an insult. There’s nowhere for a soloist to hide: this is a work that reveals your true nature. If you manage to convey its full nobility, you join the gods on Mount Olympus; if you succeed in making a memorable recording of it, your immortality is more or less guaranteed. Itzhak Perlman is among the very select number to have achieved both. He didn’t rush into recording the noblest works in the repertoire — this concerto and Bach’s Solo Sonatas and Partitas (see volume 41) — being wise enough to wait until he had reached full maturity, in terms of both his intellect and his technical mastery of the instrument. He has recorded the Beethoven twice, and both versions are among the greatest ever set down on disc.

  • Furtwängler Broadcasts/Recordings
    Furtwängler Broadcasts & Broadcast Recordings 1927-1954 1st version: February 20, 2002 Latest revision: July 5, 2019 This list of Furtwängler broadcasts/broadcast recordings is based on various private and official lists in my possession. Most of the lists were given to me by Frau Elisabeth Furtwängler during visits in Clarens in the 1970s. I have not tried to verify stations missing from the lists. I have given RRG (Reichsrundfunk Gesellschaft) as source for many WWII broadcasts, which were transmitted from Berlin, Vienna, Bayreuth, or Prague. Many of the dates of these broadcasts stem from an Italian list (from Bologna), written in perfect German! Broadcasts of commercial recordings (78 rpms and LPs) are not included. In November/December 2003, I was asked by Angelo Scottini, Piacenza, Italy, to include his list of Italian broadcasts. January 1, 2004, René Trémine gave permission to include all broadcasts mentioned in his Furtwängler concert listing 1906-1954. April 21, 2008, Norbert Kleekamp forwarded information on the Meistersinger broadcasts from Bayreuth August 1943. February 1, 2010, I included the recorded broadcasts in my discography up to 1945. November 2012, René Trémine sent me a list of amendments, added on January 10, 2013. February 18, 2018, I added broadcasts from the Danish Radio (DR), from the BBC, and from the RRG. March 9, 2018, a few amendments by Stéphane Topakian were added. A few corrections were added on March 25, 2018. March 27, 2018 some broadcasts from the Swedish Radio (SR) were added. Broadcasts up to the end of 1947 from the Austrian database ANNO were added July 1, 2018.

Ein Forschungsteam der Hochschule der Künste Bern hat dies versucht – aus der Überzeugung heraus, dass Musik und originaler Text hier qualitativ in einem hochgradigen Missverhältnis zueinander stehen. Und schlimmer noch: das Libretto scheint stark nationalsozialistisch ge- prägt; der Schoeck-Biograf Chris Walton spricht sogar von einer «direkte[n] Nähe zur rassistischen Vernichtungsideologie der Nationalsozialisten».1 Dieses Libretto und die Uraufführung mitten im Krieg in Berlin haben Werk und Komponist nachhaltig kompromittiert.
