Hubbard, Hall Services Commemorating World War II Throughout the 1994-95 season the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. To mark this anniversary, the Boston Symphony Orchestra Ar- chives has mounted an exhibition in the two display cases in the Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing. The first case holds a display entitled "Silenced Voices: Music Banned by the Nazis," conceived by BSO violist Mark Ludwig, who is mounting a large-scale exhibit under the same name at Brandeis University, sponsored by Brandeis and theTerezin Music Foundation (October 2-November 8). The second case holds a display entitled "The Boston Symphony Orchestra and World War II," which examines the activities of the BSO and Boston Pops prior to and during the United States involvement in the War. Drawing on photographs, programs, newspaper clippings, and other memorabilia preserved in the Boston Symphony Archives, the exhibit highlights, among other events, the "First Concert Performance in the Western Hemisphere" of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, given by theTMC Orchestra at Tanglewood on August 14, 1942 (Toscanini and the NBC Symphony had broadcast the American premiere the previous month); and, pictured here, the War Bond Concert given by Serge Koussevitzky and the BSO at the Boston Garden on December 14, 1944. More than 13,000 people purchased $9,952,122 in war bonds to attend this benefit concert, representing, at the time, the largest amount ever raised at a single indoor orchestral performance in this country.

    SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FOUNDED IN 1881 BY HENRY LEE HIGGINSON FRIDAY — SATURDAY 12 TUESDAY A 5 EIGHTY-NINTH SEASON 1969-1970 I£a#i/> Exquisite Sound .. From the palaces f of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made mm in the original design. The //.' w¥ ear^y instruments shown in y drawings on the tomb of m Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but mm lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Sr Hebrews took the form as we |Jr know it today. The pedal harp ||F was invented about 1720 by a Wr Bavarian named Hochbrucker and mm through this ingenious device it be- W came possible to play in eight major f and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

  • Karel Burian and Hungary Research Director: Anna Dalos Phd Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No
    DLA Theses Ferenc János Szabó Karel Burian and Hungary Research director: Anna Dalos PhD Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No. 28 for the History of Art and Culture Budapest 2011 I. Antecedents of the research Karel Burian was one of the best tenors of the first two decades of the twentieth century. The authors of his biographies always mention his Wagner roles – mainly Tristan – and his long presence in New York, and primarily the world premiere of Salome by Richard Strauss, when he played the role of Herod to much acclaim. His reputation and popularity might be measured against those of Enrico Caruso. Burian was first engaged in Budapest as a young but already well- known Wagner-tenor, he worked there for one year as a member of the Opera House, then later as guest singer regularly until his death. He was likely the most influential operatic world star in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century, and was the founder and for many years the only intended representative of the Heldentenor role in Hungary. He primarily sang Wagner operas, but there was also a Hungarian opera on his repertoire in Budapest. A study of his activities in Hungary contributes to our knowledge of Hungarian opera life, and Burian’s whole career affected the cultural history of the period because of his frequent guest appearances in Budapest. Burian’s Budapest activity had a great influence on the young composers of that time, most notably on Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály as well. There is a relatively large amount of literature about Burian, mostly in Czech, English and German.

Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up Convenient terms.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated Columbia pressings (1923- 1940) offer particularly fine sound. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments. VERTICALLY CUT RECORDS. There were basically two systems, the “needle-cut” method employed by Edison, which was also used by Aeolian-Vocalion and Lyric and the “sapphire ball” system of Pathé, also used by Rex. and vertical Okeh.
