Her New York solo debut was in Carnegie Hall, 1937. In building her repertoire she concentrated primarily on North and South American composers. Alexander Kel- berine (Kiev, 1903-New York City, 1940), also a pupil of Josef Hofmann as well as Busoni, Leo Sirota, Alexander Siloti and Abram Chasins, was the first husband of Jeanne Behrend. They formed an acclaimed duo-piano team, making a few recordings for Victor. He was a noted soloist and arranger as well. For some years, Kelberine suffered from acute depression. His final concert, at Town Hall the week before his death, was mostly of minor key music with “funereal connotations, concluding with Franz Liszt’s Toten- tanz.” His death was from an overdose of sleeping pills. 4341. 10” Red Scroll “Z”-type shellac Victor 1790.

VICTOR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Longueuil, Québec, 1885-New York City, 1961. Bourdon began studying the cello at the age of seven. In 1897 he continued cello studies and piano as well at the Ghent Conservatory in Belgium, winning “first prize with great distinction” after being there less than a year. In 1902 he accepted a position as cellist with the Cincinnati Symphony and then in 1904 with the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1909, Victor hired him in various musical capacities, including piano accompanist and cellist for a number of artists, as well as directorship of various Victor house ensembles. He became musical co-director of Victor in 1920, sharing the position with Josef Pasternack, and remained there until 1931, when the Depression virtually ended, at least for a period, the domestic solo and house ensemble recording activities. He then worked in Hollywood, on the radio, and in 1935 became the first conductor of the Montréal Orchestra Symphonique. He was awarded an honorary musical doctorate in music, 1944, by the Université de Montréal. –Wikopedia. 1669. 12” Blk. Orth. Victor 36035. OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY/COLONIAL SONG (Percy Grainger).

His works fascinate through their originality, their seemingly endless richness of invention, their daring harmonics and their visionary use of the most remote tonalities. Today Scarlatti has once again established a firm place in the pianistic repertory. But the question preoccupying me was the influence his music had on the composers of the Romantic era. If we cast an eye over the countless recordings of transcriptions and arrangements of his contemporary Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), it becomes even clearer that in Scarlatti’s case, we find hardly anything comparable. A fascinating process of investigation eventually led me to Carl Tausig (1841–1871), Ignaz Friedman (1882–1948) and Walter Gieseking (1895–1956).

  • Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: a Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 15, 2018 (2) Materials of the First International Conference on Music Education in the Community “Traditions, Challenges and Innovations,” Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem, May 14-17, 2017 Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: A Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus Abstract: This presentation focused on the current trends in the implementation of educational concerts of symphony orchestras. The aim was to collect, organize and present innovative approaches on how to design enjoyable educational concerts for students and provide them with memorable experiences. Data was collected from orchestra websites, reports, books and published thesis and doctoral dissertations. Results show that educational concerts are usually designed by a conductor often in collaboration with the director of the music education department of an orchestra. Teacher and student resources, and teacher training are provided to prepare the students for the experience. The choice of repertoire depends on the learning objectives of each concert, but the musical tastes and needs of the students should always be taken into consideration. The students are actively engaged in various ways during the concert. Assessment of educational concerts is carried out and the results are used internally for improvement of future concerts. Keywords: educational concerts, symphony orchestra, trends Introduction Many symphony orchestras include in their annual programs educational concerts for students in collaboration with schools to educate the audience of the future and enrich the services they offer to the public. At the same time, educational concerts are an important part of the music curriculum in education and give students the opportunity to gain additional experiences, while interacting with the community they belong to.

  • 100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives
    100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives 1910s 1915 – Through a $6,000 grant from the city of Baltimore, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is founded as a branch of the city’s Department of Municipal Music, making it the only major American orchestra to be fully funded as a municipal agency. 1916 – On February 11, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs its inaugural concerts to a standing- room-only crowd at The Lyric, under the direction of Music Director Gustav Strube. All three concerts comprising the first season at the Lyric are sold out. 1920s 1924 – On February 16, the BSO hosts its first children’s concert. The Baltimore Symphony youth concert series is the first to be established by an American orchestra. 1926 – The Baltimore Symphony makes its initial broadcast performance on WBAL Radio. 1930s 1930 - George Siemonn becomes the second music director of the orchestra. He conducts his opening concert, with the musicians now numbering 83, on November 23. 1935 - In late February, George Siemonn reluctantly resigns as music director and is replaced by Ernest Schelling. Forty-four musicians apply for the position. Schelling is well-known for his children’s concert series at Carnegie Hall. 1937 - Sara Feldman and Vivienne Cohn become the first women to join the Baltimore Symphony. The older members of the orchestra are supportive, but union members picket the hall with signs saying, “Unfair to Men,” which is reported in the New York Times. 1937 - Ernest Schelling becomes ill and is replaced by Werner Janssen. The dynamic young conductor and his wife, the celebrated film star Ann Harding, receive an enthusiastic response when they arrive in Baltimore.

OTKA/NKFIH K108.306 Ferenc János Szabó Institute for Musicology (Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) Karl Goldmark on Early Recordings Discography of the 78 rpm recordings of Goldmark’s compositions This discography is the first attempt to compile a systematic list of early recordings of Karl Goldmark’s compositions. Up to now, these early recordings were not in the focus of the musicological research. There are only a few Goldmark monographies1 or bibliographies2 and they do not discuss the sound recordings, except the latest one, written by Johannes Hofer, which listed many recordings and their reissues, mainly from the second half of the 20th and the first years of the 21st century.3 Even Goldmark himself did not mention the sound recordings of his works in his memoires.4 The early recordings of Goldmark’s works are mostly unknown, except some famous ones, for example the recordings from Die Königin von Saba made in Vienna after the highly successful revival directed by Gustav Mahler,5 and, of course, the recordings of Enrico Caruso which were reissued many times on LP and CD because of the popularity of the performer. The rest of the recordings are part only of the knowledge of the specialized gramophone disc collectors and opera aficionados who are interested in the recordings of opera singers of the past.6 Based on the recording dates, two waves of recording activity of Goldmark’s oeuvre can be distinguished during the first half of the twentieth century.

  • Toscanini VII, 1937-1942
    Toscanini VII, 1937-1942: NBC, London, Netherlands, Lucerne, Buenos Aires, Philadelphia We now return to our regularly scheduled program, and with it will come my first detailed analyses of Toscanini’s style in various music because, for once, we have a number of complete performances by alternate orchestras to compare. This is paramount because it shows quite clear- ly that, although he had a uniform approach to music and insisted on both technical perfection and emotional commitment from his orchestras, he did not, as Stokowski or Furtwängler did, impose a specific sound on his orchestras. Although he insisted on uniform bowing in the case of the Philadelphia Orchestra, for instance, one can still discern the classic Philadelphia Orchestra sound, despite its being “neatened up” to meet his standards. In the case of the BBC Symphony, for instance, the sound he elicited from them was not far removed from the sound that Adrian Boult got out of them, in part because Boult himself preferred a lean, clean sound as did Tosca- nini. We shall also see that, for better or worse, the various guest conductors of the NBC Sym- phony Orchestra did not get vastly improved sound result out of them, not even that wizard of orchestral sound, Leopold Stokowki, because the sound profile of the orchestra was neither warm in timbre nor fluid in phrasing. Toscanini’s agreement to come back to New York to head an orchestra created (pretty much) for him is still shrouded in mystery. All we know for certain is that Samuel Chotzinoff, representing David Sarnoff and RCA, went to see him in Italy and made him the offer, and that he first turned it down.

  • A Study of Gian Carlo Menotti's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
    A STUDY OF GIAN CARLO MENOTTI’S CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA by LAURA ANNE TOMLIN (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link and Levon Ambartsumian) ABSTRACT Gian Carlo Menotti’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (1952), although written and premiered in the early 1950s, has been an unduly neglected work due to a number of circumstances, but one that has recently been gaining in popularity. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive guide to the Violin Concerto in the hope that it will help capture the attention of those unaware of its existence and ultimately aide in the concerto’s acceptance into the violinist’s standard repertoire. The Violin Concerto’s historical context is examined in relationship to its compositional style and possible sources of inspiration, and to its neglect in the past and recent surge in popularity in the violin world. A formal and theoretical analysis of Menotti’s concerto, as well as a discussion of its technical challenges from the standpoint of the performer, will provide insight into its composition and interpretative issues. Despite its traditional form, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is an unusual piece in many respects, among which are its intriguing possible biographical components. Composed in 1952 for violinist Efrem Zimbalist, the work, on first hearing, can seem a bit disjointed with elements obviously derived from, or at the very least influenced by, other works. However, on closer examination of the work and of its intended performer, these elements appear to be intentional. For these reasons, in addition to its appeal simply as a composition, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is worthy of further study.
