  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • The Life of the Rev. Elisha Macurdy
    / THE LIFE OP MAGURDY. 7 OF THE REV. ELISHA MACURDY APPENDIX CONTAINING BRIEF NOTICES OF VARIOUS DECEASED MINISTERS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. BY DAVID ELLIOTT, Professor of Theology in the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Penn'a. ALLEGHENY: KENNEDY & BROTHER, FEDERAL STREET. PHILADELPHIA: WILLIAM S. MARTIEN, No. 37, SOUTH SEVENTH STREET. 1848. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1847, by the REV. DAVID ELLIOTT, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. PREFACE There is great difficulty in writing the his- tory of the early Ministers of this part of the church, owing to the fact that they have gener- ally left few written memorials of their lives and labours. This difficulty, the Author of the following Memoir had to encounter, as no man- uscripts were left by Mr. Macurdy, except a few fragments, which were of little use. To sup- ply this defect, he was obliged to have recourse to such other means of information, as were within his reach. Providentially, he had been thrown into close intercourse with Mr. Macurdy for several years preceding his death. During that period, he took occasion to elicit from him detailed accounts of his own history, and of transactions with which he had been personally VI PREFACE. connected. In this way, he obtained much of that which is now presented to the pubhc. He had access, also, to the Records of the Board of Trust of the Western Missionary Society, and to some pubhshed notices of the great Revival of 1802, as contained in the Western Missionary Magazine.
