  • Decca Discography

    Decca Discography

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

    Singing in ‘The Peg’: the Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20Th Century

    Singing in ‘The Peg’: The Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20th Century Muriel Louise Smith Doctor of Philosophy University of York Music September 2015 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, William Moore (1910-1982) Ann Moore (1916-2011) who inspired, demanded excellence, and loved me. 2 Abstract The research begins by establishing Winnipeg, as a city comprised of many different European immigrant communities where the dominant British-Canadian culture reflected the Canadian national consciousness of the early 20th century. After an outline of early musical life in the city, four case studies demonstrate how the solo vocal and choral culture in Winnipeg represents a realization of the constitutive, continuously forming and mutable relationships between peoples of differing identities. In all of these case studies, I investigate how this culture has been shaped by social and political actions through transnational connections over the 20th century. The first two case studies are underpinned by the theories of cultural capital and gender. The first focuses on the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1900-1920s), an elite group of Brito-Canadian women who shaped the reception of high art singing among their peers primarily through their American connections. The second investigates the Men’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1920s-1950s), a dynamic group of businessmen and musicians who sought to reinforce Brito-Canadian cultural supremacy by developing a choral culture and establishing a music competition festival based on British models and enforced by British musical associations. The third and fourth case studies are examined through the lens of diaspora and identity, underpinned by social capital.

Henry Prunières, directeur de la revue et signataire de cette introduction, y stigmatisait le mépris qu'engendrait la notion d'opéra-comique parmi un public wagnérien, debussyste ou stravinskien. Où en sommes-nous, 70 ans plus tard ? Comme ce numéro vénérable, le dossier que vous allez lire se propose de faire le tour du genre, de son éclosion au XVIIIe siècle à son déclin fin du siècle suivant, et en tournant les projecteurs sur les acteurs principaux : Grétry, Boieldieu, Hérold, Adam et Auber. Qu'est-ce que l'opéra-comique ? Né des vaudevilles donnés sur les tréteaux des foires parisiennes, il devint "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", définissant ainsi immédiatement sa singularité formelle, à savoir l'alternance du parlé et du chanté.
  • Live Structures

    Live Structures

    LIVE STRUCTURES Graphical Notation Perceptible Musical Architecture Linda Bouchard Online Lectures Virtual Workshops Composer Linda Bouchard has been working on the Live Structures project since 2017 with the initial support of a two-year grant from the Canada Council for the arts . Live Structures explores the interpretation of analytical data into musical parameters. Much of the research took place during an artist residency at matralab, Concordia University, in Montreal Quebec, Canada, where she collaborated with designer Joseph Browne to develop Ocular Scores™, a custom tool that creates graphical scores from the analysis of complex sounds and textures. To date three iterations of Ocular Scores™ have been created, addressing the ability to draw: a) shapes and images that are replicable; b) transcriptions of a musical performance that reveal musical events, and c) real-time images which can be manipulated in a live performance and interactive setting. The beta version of this graphical notation platform has been developed in close collaborations with expert performers from Montreal, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Zurich. In 2019, Bouchard was invited to give demonstrations and lectures on Live Structures and Ocular Scores™ at the festival MNM in Montreal, Quebec; the Banff Center for the Arts in Canada; the TENOR Conference in Melbourne, Australia; the German society for Music Theory Conference at the Zurich University for the Arts; and CNMAT, UC Berkeley in California. In 2020, pre-covid19, Bouchard had lectures and performances on the calendar for the IRCAM Forum Hors les Murs in Montreal; the ISCM Festival 2020 in New Zealand; and at the IX International FIMM Festival held at the National University of Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
