  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Violinist Rodolfo Richter Returns As Guest Director for a Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 & 6, 2016
    Violinist Rodolfo Richter Returns as Guest Director for A Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 & 6, 2016 “Rodolfo Richter led with his violin; when his solo playing came to the fore he displayed a notably smooth, glowing tone.” (Concerto.net) Toronto, Canada, October 20, 2016 … Acclaimed violin virtuoso Rodolfo Richter returns as guest director for A Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 at Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre, and December 6 at Toronto Centre for the Arts. This Tafelmusik program captures the ambitious, experimental energy that characterized the Seventeenth-century Italian music scene, and demonstrates how early innovators inspired later masters, including Vivaldi and Corelli. A Grand Tour of Italy features the Tafelmusik solo concerto debut of the orchestra’s own Cristina Zacharias, violin. Seventeenth-century Italy was at the vanguard of European musical trends, and tourists flocked there to devour the new “baroque” style, finding music that was fresh, exhilarating, and even shocking in its use of free form and improvisation. A Grand Tour of Italy includes music by Dario Castello and Giovanni Legrenzi, who experimented with the sonata form as early as 1629; a lively set of variations on the bergamasca bass line by Marco Uccellini; and selections by two well-travelled musicians, Antonio Bertali and Biagio Marini, who brought their compositions and musical influence to Austria, Germany, and Belgium. These early innovators paved the way for a subsequent generation of Italian composers whose music will be performed on the program: the Concerto grosso in A Minor by Giuseppe Valentini, the beloved Christmas Concerto by Arcangelo Corelli, and the Concerto no.
