  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1992 69 Sound Recording Reviews
    SOUND RECORDING REVIEWS Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First Hundred Years CS090/12 (12 CDs: monaural, stereo; ADD)1 Available only from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, 220 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, for $175 plus $5 shipping and handling. The Centennial Collection-Chicago Symphony Orchestra RCA-Victor Gold Seal, GD 600206 (3 CDs; monaural, stereo, ADD and DDD). (total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

Ina Boyle inhabits a unique space in twentieth-century music in Ireland as the first resident Irishwoman to write a symphony. If her name conjures any recollection at all to scholars of British music, it is most likely in connection to Vaughan Williams, whom she studied with privately, or in relation to some of her friends and close acquaintances such as Elizabeth Maconchy, Grace Williams, and Anne Macnaghten. While the appearance of a biography may seem somewhat surprising at first glance, for those more aware of the growing interest in Boyle’s music in recent years, it was only a matter of time for her life and music to receive a more detailed and thorough examination.

  • VINCENZO BELLINI, Norma, Orchestra Sinfonica E Coro Del Gran
    IV, 2018 VINCENZO BELLINI, Norma, Orchestra sinfonica e Coro del Gran Teatre del Liceu di Barcellona, direttore d’orchestra Renato Palumbo, regia di Kevin Newbury, 2 DVD C Major 737208, 2015. • Norma, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Royal Opera Chorus, direttore d’orchestra Antonio Pappano, regia di Àlex Ollé. 2 DVD Opus Arte OA 1247 D, 2016. La fortuna teatrale e discografica di Norma sta attraversando un periodo di intensa vitalità che sembrava quasi impossibile fino a qualche anno fa. Molteplici ragioni danno conto di questo rinnovato interesse. Da un lato, l’intenso lavoro critico attorno alla figura di Bellini e dei suoi interpreti ha contribuito a mettere in discussione la tradizione esecutiva dell’opera che si era cristallizzata durante la prima metà del Novecento e di cui, per molti aspetti, Maria Callas ha rappresentato l’apogeo. Dall’altro, la graduale estensione dell’uso di strumenti d’epoca nell’ambito del melodramma italiano del primo Ottocento ha reso possibile la coesistenza, e reciproca influenza, di prassi esecutive le cui premesse storiche e culturali erano in origine diverse. Molti degli sforzi di critici e studiosi interessati agli aspetti esecutivi di Norma sono stati dedicati alla definizione delle caratteristiche vocali e drammatiche dei cantanti per i quali i tre ruoli principali furono scritti: Giuditta Pasta (Norma), Giulia Grisi (Adalgisa) e Domenico Donzelli (Pollione). Tale attività di ricerca ha contribuito a scardinare luoghi comuni e consuetudini esecutive di lunga data, mettendo in luce tanto una frattura tra le concezioni della vocalità del tempo e quelle che dirigono le aspettative del pubblico contemporaneo, quanto il fatto che la proliferazione di soluzioni esecutive quanto mai diversificate non è solo caratteristica dei nostri giorni, ma ha accompagnato la fortuna dell’opera durante gran parte dell’Ottocento.

    THE AEOLIAN ORCHESTRA Conducted by Rhene-Baton La Grande Päque Russe. Overture Jmsky-Korsakoo Parts 1 & 2 La GrandeBrande Pique Russe. Overture `Rimsky-KorsakooRimsky-Korsakoo iý Parts 3 & 4 ý A-0256 1T 5,'6 R IMSKY-KORSAKOV'S "Easter" Overture though less well-known in England than some of his other works is none the less one of his finest orchestral compositions. It dates from about the same period in his career as the famous "Scheherazade" and, like that work, is dis- tinguished especially by the vividness and richness of its orchestration. At the same time the fine Russian church tunes on which it is based serve as a splendid thematic foundation for a most arresting and attractive work, every detail of which has been brought out in masterly stale by M. Rhend- Baton. Composer, conductor, pianist, writer-1I. Rhene-Baton is one of the most brilliant of living French musicians. London music lovers will remember him in connection with the Russian Ballet's performances of Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" and other works which he directed in 1912, while more recently, in January last, he had great success as con- ductor of one of the Royal Philharmonic Society's concerts, the programme including this same work of Rimsky-Iiorsakov of which he has now pro- duced, in conjunction with the Aeolian Orchestra, such brilliant records.
