  • Verdi's Rigoletto

    Verdi's Rigoletto

    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER of the MIDWESTERN GILBERT and SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46

    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46 As is invariably the case, it's been one thing after another lately. Thanks to Michaem Miano and Carol Lee Cole, we have something ready-made to put in the Nonsense. Once things cool slow down at work, S/A Cole will have time to go through the piles of material, and put out a full-blown issue. Michael Miano and Carol Lee Cole both submitted their pieces in computer-readable form, and they appear here as they were submitted (I may spell-check them, but that'll be about it). While the Nonsense doesn't necessarily stand for an unrestricted press, its editorial staff certainly believes in letting people express their opinions. And if readers want to debate points, that's great. S/A Cole will be happy to forward messages. Anyway, it ought to make for interesting reading. Sarah Cole thanks all the membership of the Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society for their patience over the last two years; and especially thanks the other G&S societies, who have been tremendously indulgent with the MGS's difficulties. We hope to return the kindness some day. In the meantime, here's what we've got. Oh Members, How Say You, What Is it You've The 1995 MGS Big Quiz Answers Done?

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.

It isn't so much that the night was long, but that the Summer was (or wasn't, as the case may be). This was not one of S/A Cole's better seasons: in June, her family moved to Central Illinois; in July, the computer had a head crash that took until August to fix, and in that month, she was tired and sick from all the summer excitement. But, tush, I am puling. Now that Autumn is nearly here, things are getting back to normal (such as that is). Since there was no summer Nonsense, there is all kinds of stuff in this issue, including the answers to the Big Quiz, an extended "Where Can it Be?/The G&S Shopper", reports on the Sullivan Festival and MGS Annual Outing, and an analysis of Thomas Stone's The Savoyards' Patience. Let's see what's new. First of all, we owe the Savoy-Aires an apology. Oh, Members, How Say You, S/A Cole had sincerely believed that an issue of the What is it You've Done?

As we know now, Member David Michaels appeared as the "First no Nonsense came out, and the May one didn't even Yeomen" in the Savoy-Aires' recent production of mention their address.

    2016 Remembrance Day

    1 2016 Remembrance Day We observed Remembrance Day on a beautiful, crisp Sunday afternoon. We were fortunate to have as our guests the Terrell/Kaufman County chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, family members of several former cadets, in addition to the RAF contingent at Majors Field, Greenville, TX. Retired pastor Bob Price officiated, Sqd Ldr Craig O’Donnell read the poem High Flight; MACR Pete Holt did flag duty, and Sqd Ldr Barnes placed the wreath. Long-time volunteer Judy Hollis read the poem Ode of Remembrance. Refreshments were served at the Museum after the service. (Photos provided by Museum volunteer Paul Finnegan) 2 Recent Visitors The Dallas Arms Collectors Association (DACA) enjoyed a day-long excursion visiting local WWII and military museums. The highlight of the day was its conclusion at the No 1 BFTS Museum. Donations Mrs. Elaine Sherman of the Roemisch Foundation made a donation to the Museum in honor of her late husband, Flt Lt Francis G. H. “Ted” Sherman, RAFVR. Mr. Sherman was one of two men who were tasked with the disposition of British property, and closing the No. 1 BFTS at the end of WWII. 3 In Remembrance Jeffery Heard 4th June 1925 – 15th May 2016 Jeffery Heard – “Jeff” – was born on 4th June 1925 and grew up in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, England.

    Hitchmough's Black Country Pubs

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS BRIERLEY HILL (Inc. Pensnett, Quarry Bank, Round Oak) 3rd. Edition - © 2015 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY April 1997 -- Issue 52 Tentative Pinafore Outing Member Hugh Locker has offered to organize a Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society Outing to one of the matinee performances of Light Opera Works' June 8, 1997, performance of H.M.S. Pinafore, depending on if enough people want to go. If you are interested in going, call him right away: (815) 385-3676 The final price for the outing has yet to be determined, but figure on the show tickets costing between $40.00 and $50.00, plus dinner afterwards. As these affairs generally work, participants make their own arrangements to get to Cahn Auditorium. Hopefully, enough people would be interested to get a group rate on the tickets. We need at least 20 people to get a group rate (tell your friends!). Afterwards, everybody goes to some local restaurant for dinner. Everybody pays their own checks, which saves a lot of calculations and bad feelings later. These arrangements have worked out pretty well in the past, though. This outing may come off, or it may not: Please call Hugh Locker at (815) 385-3676 by May 10, 1997 so plans can be made or cancelled. Fair moon, to thee I sing, Bright regent of the heavens, Say, why is everything Either at sixes or at sevens? Here we are again, and I'm sorry about the delay. Things here have really been at sixes and sevens for the last several months. But with the cheerful sunshine of (and the flowers that bloom in the) Spring, we'll get there.
