Kathleen Ferrier and 20th-century British Song The collection starts with an animated performance of Parry’s Love is a bable, accompanied by Frederick Stone, giving it a swaggering treatment. n writing these notes, I’m acutely aware of the position Kathleen Ferrier The main features one hears is her care with words, even in this anonymous Ioccupies for a still adoring public 67 years after her death, and I freely admit text, and her agility around a number of fast-moving lines… not necessarily to being one of them. As a child I was familiar with her voice, her singing. something one associates with her. People around me talked of her. She was loved. Later, as a teenage sixth- There’s a taste of what’s to come in her treatment of text and her careful former, we would find ourselves on occasion in debate about the merits and enunciation, though later one or two curiosities of pronunciation cause me demerits of her voice – those who liked the deep contralto of her singing and to wonder ‘Why?’ The vocal quality is always as smooth as silk throughout those who didn’t. Still later, I heard her colleagues speak of her warmth and the range, and the diminuendo which she calls upon over and over again, her popularity within the profession. never lets her down. It’s a complete winner. This collection of her work demonstrates most clearly how much more she From the now unfashionable Parry to three songs by the ever-popular Roger was than simply the singer of Che farò and Blow the Wind Southerly, beautiful Quilter. Now sleeps the crimson petal, the poem by Tennyson, is taken at a though those two items are. Listening to her again further confirms what I’ve leisurely pace and is none the worse for it. Today, such a tempo would seem often thought, that had she been allowed her full span of life and likewise at odds with our 21st-century pulse. But it’s right here. It allows her to relish career, under the guidance of Bruno Walter and John Barbirolli in particular, her text, to paint words with great loving care, and is worth listening to for she might well have become a very different singer from the one whose the final “lost in me” alone. Phyllis Spurr is beside her for these and one senses contralto lives with us to this day. an easy partnership.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Open Farrand - Under Wagner S Shadow.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School UNDER WAGNER’S SHADOW: DELIUS’S USE OF WAGNERIAN MODELS IN THE MAGIC FOUNTAIN ​ A Thesis in Music Theory and History by Timothy M. Farrand © 2020 Timothy M. Farrand Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2020 ii The thesis of Timothy M. Farrand was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles Youmans Professor of Music Thesis Advisor Eric McKee Professor of Music David Frego Director of the School of Music iii ABSTRACT After 1900, Frederick Delius’s unique compositional style bears little resemblance to any singular influence. In the thirty-eight year apprentice period that led to the development of this style, Delius drew upon a wide range of references from the Norwegian mountains, to the “Negro” spirituals sung by former slaves in Florida, to the dramatic style of Richard Wagner. Studies have been written detailing the impact that his two years spent in Florida had on Delius as well as the twenty visits that he made to Norway throughout his life, ten of which occurred during his apprentice period. Several scholars have pointed out the similarities between Delius’s early harmonic language and that of Richard Wagner but there has not been a study showing the importance of Wagner’s influence upon the development of Delius’s dramatic style. In the creation of his second opera The Magic Fountain (1894-95), Delius used the operatic works of ​ ​ Richard Wagner, specifically Tristan und Isolde and Parsifal, as musical, dramatic, and ​ ​ ​ ​ philosophical models. The use of Wagner’s works as a model for The Magic Fountain allowed ​ ​ Delius to discover his own artistic voice, which he continued to refine until it was fully formed in 1900.
