  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    374 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong people are hard working by nature but they also know how to relax and enjoy themselves through many different sports, cultural and recreational activities. A growing array of programmes and facilities enables people of all ages and abilities to participate and improve their quality of life. Government policies on matters concerning sports, recreation, culture and heritage are co-ordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited helps develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high performance sports, while in January 2005 the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports, the Major Sports Events, and the Community Sports Committees which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides the community with services to preserve its cultural heritage, enhance its physical environment, and foster co-operative interaction between sports, cultural and community organisations. During 2009, the LCSD organised several large-scale exhibitions, some of which were in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China. It also organised cultural performances, ranging from music and dance to opera and sporting events. The LCSD co-ordinates the provision of high quality recreational and sports facilities and supports and organises training programmes and activities to promote community sports, identify sporting talent and raise sporting standards.

También allí se estrenó la La fanciulla del West (1910), encargada por el propio teatro, que haría su última función en 1961, justamente con Turandot, de la que conservamos una grabación. El actual edificio sólo sería inaugurado en 1966 (cuando también se demo- lió el antiguo teatro) en el monumental Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, encargándose para la ocasión una ópera al americano Samuel Barber, Antony and Cleopatra, cuya producción realizó Franco Zeffirelli, aunque en aquella oca- sión la colaboración fue mal recibida por la crítica.

Accompanying the CD is an in-depth 20-page booklet that gives a full and detailed explanation of the history behind these works.

  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

Obituary notices will be found on other pages, but the loss of our founder-President, Sir Adrian Boult, is something we all feel keenly. His encouragement meant a great deal to us, particularly in the difficult early years. Abroad too his peissing was noted with very great regret. The New York Times carried a long obituary by Edivard Rothstein spread across three columns. A member in Toronto tells us that at the end of a concert in the new Toronto concert hall the con­ ductor, Andrew Davis, turned to the audience and informed them of Sir ^ Adrian's death. He then conducted the orchestra in tribute in the slow movement of Elgar's Serenade for Strings.

  • 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.
