  • 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).

    ., ·� ... ·-: . � .. • T . , MENTON NEUVIÈME FESTIVAL . DE MUSIQUE DE MENTON PARVIS ST-MICHEL DU 1er AU 13 AOUT 1958 FESTIVAL DU RÊVE ... par JEAN COCTEAU, de l'Académie Française Rien de moins propre à être traduit dans le langage de la réalité que l'univers du rêve, �t rien, mieux que l'univers du rêve n'est apte à nous conduire dans un inconnu familier, dans des circonstances que notre mémoire croit revivre bien qu'étrangères à nos habitudes, bref dans une sorte de sublime n'excluant pas le cocasse (lorsque, par exemple, une femme du peuple crie par sa fenêtre que J. S. Bach l'empêche de dormir). C est pourquoi le "rêve partagé" postule un phénomène impossible et c' est pourtant ce que M. Palmero nous offre, après escalade d'une échelle double de marches qui débouchent sur une esplanade nocturne, entre des façades de palais, des parvis d'églises, drs immeubles populaires, des buissons de candélabres, des massifs de chaises, pêle-mêle, comme sur une scène de théâtre où chavire le magnifique naufrage des changements de décors. Il n'existe nulle part ailleurs lieu plus dépaysé, plus insolite, plus suspendu dans le vide, que ce Festival de Menton. Il charme tous les orchestres du monde. Il nous les apporte avec l'aisance d'un dormeur variant ses spectacles, d'un génie des " Mille et Une Nuits " fournissant instantanément les richesses que le pauvre pêcheur lui demande. Voilà les sortilèges d'un Opéra dont le lustre est d'étoiles, les loges de chambres, la rampe de lune et de torches, le silence, de cette longue rumeur des rues et des vagues..

Raiders of the Lost Archives Abstract Fantastic Man (2014) and Searching for Sugar Man (2012) mobilize tropes of discovery occurring in the filmed process of collecting and curating the work and identities of two reluctant, elusive and resistive figures. They are part of a discourse of collectability which is marked by the urge to discover and to narrate a “quest” that has its precedents in record collecting as obsessive cultural practice (Straw, 1997; Shuker, 2012), and in the fetishizing of obscurity (Thornton, 1995; Hesmondhalgh, 1997).

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>2 GREAT BRITAIN: ffrr, 1944-57 In a business where exclusive contracts were the norm, it was very difficult for a newcomer to become established and Decca’s initial roster of classical artists was unable to compete with established rivals. In March 1932 an agreement with Polydor provided access to a substantial catalogue of German artists and a year later the company virtually abandoned classical recording to concentrate on dance bands. The move to Thames Street Studios provided more scope for orchestral sessions and a bold policy of recording contemporary British music enhanced the label’s reputation. The newly formed Boyd Neel Orchestra was signed up in 1934, followed by the Griller String Quartet in 1935, Clifford Curzon in 1937, Peter Pears in 1944, Kathleen Ferrier in 1946 and Julius Katchen in 1947. War broke the link with Polydor, leaving Decca with a respectable catalogue of chamber music, but little symphonic repertoire. Armed with ffrr technology, the company began to remedy this in 1944, engaging Sidney Beer’s National Symphony Orchestra until 1947 and the misleadingly named New Symphony Orchestra (it had made its first recordings in 1909) from 1948. Neither developed into a house band to rival EMI’s Philharmonia and, with the Royal Philharmonic also exclusive to EMI, Decca had to resort to the LSO and the LPO, both in rather run-down condition in the post-war years. Meanwhile every opportunity was taken to impress visiting continental orchestras with ffrr sessions and it was evident that the company intended to transfer much of its symphonic work to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Vienna as soon as practicable.
