Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

    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 It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists.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.

    George Tabori

    George Tabori George Tabori est un artiste accompli, scénariste, romancier, nouvelliste, auteur et metteur en scène de théâtre, directeur, chef de troupe, comé- dien à ses heures, né hongrois le 24 mai 1914 à Budapest, et décédé bri- tannique le 23 juillet 2007 à Berlin, à l’âge de 93 ans. Né en Hongrie en 1914 dans une famille d’intellectuels juifs, György Tábori est envoyé par son père en apprentissage à Berlin en 1932 et 1933. Puis il émigre à Londres en 1935 pour rejoindre son frère aîné. Il adopte la nationalité britannique, devient journaliste à la BBC et traducteur ; d’abord correspondant de guerre en Bulgarie et en Turquie, il s’engage dans l’armée britannique en 1941 et est affecté au Proche-Orient, où il écrit son premier roman. En 1943, il rentre à Londres et travaille de nouveau à la BBC. Ses parents sont déportés. Seule sa mère survit. En 1945, il est invité à Hollywood, son roman ayant attiré l’attention des studios, et s’installe aux États-Unis. Il signe des scénarios de films, notamment pour Alfred Hitchcock (La Loi du silence), Anton Litvak (Le Voyage), Joseph Losey (Cérémonie secrète, seul script qu’il revendique). En dehors de son activité de scénariste qui ne le satisfait pas au point de vue littéraire, il publie des romans. Il fréquente les plus grandes stars hollywoodiennes (Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo…) et les intellectuels alle- mands en exil. Assistant de Charles Laughton en 1947, il fait la rencontre décisive de Bertolt Brecht qu’il traduit pour la scène américaine.
