  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

The opera is markedly different in its portrayal of Danish identity – Danishness – than the Danish operas of the 19th century, which were generally characterised by nationalist tropes of rural mediaeval glory or folk mythology, with scores heavily reliant on the folk-like strophic song. Maskarade presents a much greater musical stylistic variety, and is also a comedy, set in the Danish capital Copenhagen, among the bourgeoisie in the early 18th century. The thesis also examins potential reasons for the Maskarade’s rapid success within Denmark and status as a national opera. It seeks to investigate how Maskarade relates to previous Danish music drama, and to place it in a wider Danish operatic history, as well as look at its critical reception between the premiere and its 25th anniversary revival in 1931. While the thesis offers no conclusive answer to the question of Maskarade’s success in its first 25 years, it does posit that a main reason was the increasing fame of Carl Nielsen in that same period.

    MUSIC HALL, BALTIMORE. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Mr. EMIL PAUR, Conductor. Fourteenth Season, 1894-95. PROGRAMME OF THE THIRD CONCER rr\ 1 Wednesday Evening, January 9. At 8.15 precisely. With Historical and Descriptive Notes by William F. Apthorp. PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER. A Remarkable Piano. The Mason & Hamlin Piano is constructed in one particular differently from any other : the strings are held by screws, not by pins. As a result, the Mason & Hamlin Piano does not require one-quarter as much tuning as any other piano made. This fact has been demonstrated by actual test, and verified by mechanics, tuners, and private individuals. Piano tuning costs money. It costs only one-fourth as much to keep a Mason & Hamlin Piano in tune as it does to keep any other in tune. Consequently the expense of keeping a Mason & Hamlin Piano is reduced to one-fourth that of any other. Catalogue and full particulars mailed on application. dte0ttll?HmIm BOSTON. NEW YORK. CHICAGO.
