Mischa Elman, for example, made recordings with both Enrico Caruso and soprano Frances Alda back in 1913–15, while at around the same time Fritz Kreisler was bringing his own brand of magic to recitals with John McCormack and Geraldine Farrar. Later audiences even had the pleasure of hearing Jascha Heifetz partnering Bing Crosby (1945) and the Hollywood String Quartet accompanying Frank Sinatra (1956). This particular tradition had begun to fade a little, but was revived by Itzhak Perlman and Plácido Domingo in this album brimming with touches of emotion and poetry. Domingo’s mellow, resonant tenor voice is well met by Perlman’s generous phrasing and expansive sonorities. The tender lyricism of their diction, the symbiotic blending of their vibrato and their shared sense of purpose combine to bring a subtle melancholy to each of these short works. Perlman adapts with astonishing ease to each new piece, and throws himself into this theatrical repertoire — his sense of humour often in evidence — colouring his playing by means of portamento, rubato and romantic nuances. Ranging from Toselli to Ponce, and Massenet to Rachmaninov, via Tchaikovsky, Richard Strauss and Handel, this varied anthology reveals a unique encounter between two great artists both renowned not only for their talent but for their ability to win audiences’ hearts the world over. Jean-Michel Molkhou Translation: Susannah Howe 4 Ensemble Plusieurs illustres violonistes du passé ont été séduits par la sensualité que le « violon obbligato » apportait au bel canto . C’est ainsi que dans les années 1913–1915 Mischa Elman fit quelques enregistrements avec Enrico Caruso ou avec Frances Alda et qu’à la même époque Fritz Kreisler associa le charme de son jeu aux voix de John McCormack et de Geraldine Farrar. Plus tard, on put même entendre Jascha Heifetz accompagner Bing Crosby (1945) et le Hollywood String Quartet s’associer à Frank Sinatra (1956). Itzhak Perlman et Plácido Domingo renouent avec cette tradition, qui s’était un peu perdue, pour offrir cet album teinté de poésie et d’émotion. À la voix onctueuse et timbrée du ténor répondent le généreux phrasé et l’ample sonorité du violoniste. Le lyrisme plein de tendresse de leur diction, la symbiose de leurs vibratos et leur complicité d’intention donnent à chacune de ces courtes pièces de subtiles couleurs mélancoliques. Perlman, qui s’adapte avec une fascinante aisance à toutes les musiques, se prend au jeu un peu cabotin du répertoire en colorant son expression, non sans humour, de portamentos, de rubatos et de nuances romanesques. De Toselli à Ponce, de Massenet à Rachmaninov en passant par Tchaïkovski, Richard Strauss ou Haendel, on découvrira dans ce répertoire très varié la réunion unique de deux artistes dont la célébrité s’est bâtie non seulement par le talent, mais aussi par leurs chaleureuses relations avec le public du monde entier. Jean-Michel Molkhou 5 ZUSAMMEN Viele berühmte Geiger vergangener Zeiten ließen sich von der Sinnlichkeit verführen, mit der eine obligate Violine zum Schöngesang beitragen kann. So machte Mischa Elman in den Jahren 1913 –15 mehrere Aufnahmen mit Enrico Caruso und Frances Alda, und zur gleichen Zeit untermalte Fritz Kreisler mit seinem betörenden Violinspiel die Stimmen von John McCormack und Geraldine Farrar. Später konnte man sogar Jascha Heifetz gemeinsam mit Bing Crosby (1945) und Frank Sinatra in Begleitung des Hollywood String Quartet (1956) hören. Itzhak Perlman und Plácido Domingo knüpfen mit diesem poetischen, gefühlvollen Album an diese etwas in Vergessenheit geratene Tradition an. Die samtige, volltönende Stimme des Tenors findet in der üppigen Phrasierung und enormen Klangfülle des Geigers ihre Entsprechung. Die zarte Lyrik des Vortrags, die Symbiose beider Vibrati und die völlige Einmütigkeit der Interpreten verleihen jedem einzelnen dieser kurzen Stücke eine subtile melancholische Färbung. Perlman, der sich mit faszinierender Leichtigkeit allen musikalischen Stilen anpassen kann, stürzt sich — stets mit einer Prise Humor — enthusiastisch in dieses leicht theatralische Repertoire und setzt dabei Portamenti, Rubati und romantisierende Färbungen ein. Von Toselli bis Ponce, von Massenet bis Rachmaninow, über Tschaikowsky, Richard Strauss und Händel zeigt sich in diesem breit gefächerten Repertoire die einzigartige Symbiose zweier Künstler, deren Berühmtheit sich nicht nur auf ihrem Talent gründet, sondern auch auf ihrer herzlichen Beziehung zum Publikum auf der ganzen Welt.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

He had recorded Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto for RCA (with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Erich Leinsdorf) as early as 1966, and Mendelssohn’s Concerto (with the London Symphony Orchestra and André Previn; see volume 5) six years later. He had also gone on to commit a further interpretation of each work to disc: the Prokofiev with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Gennady Rozhdestvensky in 1980 (see volume 29), the Mendelssohn with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Bernard Haitink in 1983 (volume 33).

As he himself said, he’d wanted to record some of his old favourites, pieces he’d loved since childhood, and some new discoveries as well. Working with his regular accompanist Samuel Sanders, Perlman therefore offered listeners fresh readings of such timeless hits as Caprice viennois , Schön Rosmarin , Liebesfreud and Liebesleid . He also added a further dozen pieces to his discography, including original compositions such as the Romance, Op.4, La Chasse in the style of Cartier and Tempo di Minuetto in the style of Pugnani , as well as a selection of no less enticing transcriptions of works by Dvo rˇák , Paganini, Tartini, Rachmaninov, Gärtner and Chopin.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated Columbia pressings (1923- 1940) offer particularly fine sound. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments. VERTICALLY CUT RECORDS. There were basically two systems, the “needle-cut” method employed by Edison, which was also used by Aeolian-Vocalion and Lyric and the “sapphire ball” system of Pathé, also used by Rex. and vertical Okeh.

Second Concert of the 104th Season 104th Annual Choral Union Series About the Artists Itzhak Perlman's artistic credentials are supreme: he has appeared with every major orchestra in the world, on most of the great concert stages alone or in close collaboration with great artists, on countless national television shows, and in recording studios here and abroad. On every occasion he displays not only his abundant musical gifts, but also those that make him a great humanitarian. In 1981, the International Year of the Disabled Person, Mr. Perlman's stage, camera, and personal appearances of all kinds spoke eloquently for the cause of the handicapped and disabled. His endeavors and devotion to this cause form an integral part of his life. Born in Israel in 1945, Mr. Perlman completed his initial training at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. Following study at the Juilliard School in New York under Ivan Galamian and Dorothy Delay, he won the prestigious Leventritt Competition, and his world career ensued.

Which makes this recording all the more special, with Bernard Haitink conducting the splendid Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, with which Perlman would only collaborate one more time in the recording studio (volume 33). Brahms, though doubtless unaware of the fact at the time, was effectively composing his symphonic swansong with his Op.102. Of the twenty-odd works that he would go on to write before his death, only those for piano, voice or chamber ensemble would truly express the inmost distillation of his musical thought. Although commonplace in the Baroque era, concertos for several soloists were very rare by the Romantic period. Brahms was recalling the tradition of the concerto grosso, which Haydn and Mozart had already reinterpreted in their sinfonie concertanti , as had Beethoven in his Triple Concerto. “And now I must tell you about my latest folly,” Brahms had written to his publisher Simrock, “a concerto for violin and cello! My relationship with Joachim meant that I wanted to give up on the idea — but I couldn’t.
