Maestro Mariss Jansons to Lead Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Concert at the National Concert Hall Media Release 7 March 2011 Maestro Mariss Jansons to lead Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in concert at the National Concert Hall One of the world's greatest musical pairings, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Mariss Jansons, return to The National Concert Hall, Saturday 26 March 2011 as part of the International Concert Series 2010/2011. They are joined by Swedish soprano Miah Persson, praised by the New York Times as being “alluring” and The Guardian as “honey-toned…enchanting and sympathetic” for a programme of Symphonies by Shostakovich and Mahler. In 2006 the orchestra received the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance for its recording of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13. It was named the 6th best orchestra in Europe in a survey for Le Monde de la Musique and 6th best orchestra in the world by The Gramophone magazine in 2008. Proclaimed by Sir Simon Rattle as being ‘the greatest living conductor,’Mariss Jansons took up the baton as chief of the symphony orchestra of Bavarian Radio (BRSO), which is considered to be one of the best in Germany after the Berlin Philharmonic. Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1997-2004, he also was appointed Principal Conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in 2004. He has become known to audiences worldwide through his acclaimed recordings, concert performances and touring activities, as well as numerous radio and television appearances. He has also served recently as Music Director of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra (1979- 2001), as Associate Principal Conductor of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra (1985- 2000) and as Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic (1992-97). The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, in German Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks is the internationally renowned orchestra of the Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Radio), based in Munich, Germany. The orchestra was founded in 1949, with members of an earlier radio orchestra in Munich. Eugen Jochum was the orchestra's first chief conductor, from 1949 until 1960. Subsequent chief conductors have included Rafael Kubelík, the longest serving of the orchestra's chief conductors, as well as Sir Colin Davis and Lorin Maazel. Since 2003, the orchestra's chief conductor is Mariss Jansons and in 2007 Jansons extended his contract for the second time, now until August 31, 2012.

ABOUT MARISS JANSONS Mariss Jansons was one of the finest conductors to emerge from the former Soviet Union in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Jansons was born while Riga was under military occupation by the Germans who seized it in 1941, a year after its forcible annexation by the U.S.S.R. His father was Arvid Jansons (or Yansons) (1914-1984), the leading Latvian conductor to emerge under the Soviet system after the Baltic nation was retaken by the U.S.S.R. in 1945. Mariss studied violin, piano, and conducting at the Leningrad Conservatory, graduating with honors. In 1969 he began training in Vienna with conductor Hans Swarowski and in Salzburg with Herbert von Karajan. In 1971 he won the International Herbert von Karajan Foundation Competition in Berlin. He began to work with the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra in 1973 when music director Yevgeny Mravinsky invited him to become associate conductor. In 1979 he became music director of the Oslo Philharmonic He has guest conducted many of the world's major orchestras. For Chandos Records he led the Oslo orchestra in a complete Tchaikovsky symphony cycle, and led many Shostakovich symphonies for EMI. His reputation is particularly strong as a conductor of great twentieth century symphonic classics, including composers such as Bartók, Honegger, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Weill, Sibelius, Respighi, Dukas, and Mahler. His recording of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony with the Leningrad Philharmonic won an Edison Award in 1989. In 1995, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra announced Jansons' appointment as its eighth music director, effective in 1996. He has led it on successful tours, including a five-city, seven-concert tour of Japan in 1998, a tour of west coast U.S. cities and an international tour in 1999. In 1995 King Harald V of Norway appointed Jansons Commander with Star of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit, the highest Norwegian honor ever given to a person not of Norwegian descent, for his services to Norway as director of the Oslo Philharmonic. He was given honorary membership in Britain's Royal Academy of Music in 1999 and in Vienna's Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in 2001. .

  • 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.

  • Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - Mehr Als ›Der Wohlbekannte Sänger‹
    Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - mehr als ›der wohlbekannte Sänger‹ Gottfried Kraus (Minihof-Liebau) In seiner persönlich gehaltenen Erinnerung sucht der Musikpublizist Gottfried Kraus die komplexe Persönlichkeit und vielfältige Lebensleistung Dietrich Fischer-Dieskaus in großen Zügen darzustellen. Von der ersten Erinnerung des 15jährigen Konzertbesuchers an ein Brahms-Requiem unter Furtwängler im Wiener Konzerthaus und an Fischer-Dieskaus erste Winterreise im Januar 1951 spannt sich der Bogen über Eindrücke in Konzert und Oper und die umfassende Beschäftigung mit Fischer-Dieskaus Schallplattenaufnahmen bis zu gemeinsamer Arbeit. Als Leiter der Musikabteilung des Österreichischen Rundfunks lud Kraus den Sänger und Dirigenten Fischer-Dieskau zu Aufgaben im Studio und bei den Salzburger Festspielen. Auch für Schallplattenaufnahmen ergaben sich spätere Kontakte. Aus vielfältiger Erfahrung und nicht zuletzt auch aus freundschaftlicher Nähe zeichnet Kraus ein Bild Fischer-Dieskaus, der mehr ist und auch mehr sein will als nur ‚der wohlbekannte Sänger‘ – ein Künstler von unglaublicher Breite, den umfassende Bildung, das Bewusstsein großer Tradition, lebenslange Neugierde, Offenheit und enormer Fleiß dazu befähigten, auch als Rezitator, Dirigent, Musikschriftsteller und Maler Ungewöhnliches zu leisten. In his personally touched memoires the music publisher Gottfried Kraus tries to present the complex personality of Fischer-Dieskau and the miscellaneous achievements in his life along general lines. Starting with the fist remembrance of the 15-year-old concert visitor of a Brahms-Requiem conducted by Furtwängler at the Wiener Konzerthaus and the first Winterreise of Fischer-Dieskau in January 1951 he encompasses impressions of concerts and operas as well as the comprehensive engagement with disc records of Fischer-Dieskau up to their common work. As the head of the music department of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, Kraus invited the singer and conductor Fischer-Dieskau for recordings in the studio and to the Salzburg Festival.
