  • 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.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual. Pavel CHESNOKOV Teach Me Thy Statutes - PaTRAM Institute Male Choir/Vladimir Gorbik rec. 2016 REFERENCE RECORDINGS FR-727 SACD The most significant anniversary of 2018 was that of the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy, and while there were fine recordings of his music, none stood as deserving of this accolade as much as the choral works of Pavel Chesnokov.

  • Harold Tichenor 4/3-2016 Dear Fellow Reel to Reel Audiophie
    Harold Tichenor 4/3-2016 Dear fellow reel to reel audiophie: I do hope this email gets through to you as I want to let my past reel to reel customers know the new arrangements for acquiring 15 IPS copies of my tape masters. For the last few years I made them principally available through eBay where Deborah Gunn, better known as Reel-Lady, acted as my agent. Both Deb and I were happy with that arrangement and I can’t thank her enough for her valiant efforts to handle all sales professionally and promptly. However, over the past two years changes at eBay have led to prohibitively high listing and closing costs, even to the point that they take a commission on the shipping costs. During the past year there has also been a flood of lower quality tapes coming onto eBay, many made from cd originals or other dubious sources. It just became impossible to produce our high quality tapes at the net return after eBay and Paypal fees were deducted. Deb and I have talked about it quite a lot and looked at alternative ways to make the tapes available. In the end, Deb decided to retire from the master tape sales business. After giving thought to using eBay myself, setting up a website store or engaging another web sales agent, I decided that I would contact you all directly and test the waters on direct sales to my past customers. Thus this email to you directy from me. FIRST: let me say if you would rather not receive these direct emails in future please let me know immediately and I will remove you from the mailing list.

  • Diese Aufnahme Ist Bezaubernd Schön Deutsche Grammophon’S 1964 Recording of the Magic Flute
    Diese Aufnahme ist bezaubernd schön Deutsche Grammophon’s 1964 Recording of The Magic Flute Aaron Dalton inging speaks most eloquently for itself in real time and doesn’t fall into S words on paper very easily,” writes a former voice teacher of mine. “It is either beautiful or it isn’t. If it’s beautiful, words aren’t adequate. If it ₁ isn’t, words about it have to be either false or cruel.” Why, then, would I offer the following dissection of what I believe to be the greatest recording of arguably the greatest opera? And how, with a glut of Magic Flute record- ings on the market (I aborted my tally at over forty casts on dozens of labels), can I presume to identify one particular recording as the greatest among them? After all, if you believe my teacher’s claim above, would not even the most rapturous hyperbole prove inadequate? Trusting that what you have read in this publication has piqued in you some trace of musical, cultural, historical, intellectual, or spiritual interest regarding The Magic Flute, I want to channel your simmering impulses and ensure that your next step is a good one. Expectedly, opera enthusiasts champion nearly as many “quintessential” Magic Flute recordings as there are, well, Magic Flute recordings. But as one having familiarity with the opera as both a fan and a performer, I would do you a disservice by recom- ₂ mending anything other than the 1964 Deutsche Grammophon set as your starting point. My defense, meaning both my justification for writing this article as well as for the claims made in it, rests primarily on the otherworldly per- formances of tenor Fritz Wunderlich as Prince Tamino and baritone Diet- rich Fischer-Dieskau as the bird catcher Papageno.

Doctoral Dissertations. 1779. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1779 Male Zwischenfächer Voices and the Baritenor Conundrum Thaddaeus James Bourne, DMA University of Connecticut, 2018 This study will examine the Zwischenfach colloquially referred to as the baritenor. A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • 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.

It had, of course, been our intention to celebrate Die OPER! AWARDS komplett ausfallen zu lassen, with you at a festive awards gala at the Renaissance Oper von Georges Bizet / Marius Felix Lange ist uns dennoch zu keinem Zeitpunkt in den Sinn Theatre in Berlin.

Even so, it was more than a year before the sequel, “A Second Recital”, appeared. Two more such concert programmes ensued [all four are on CDs 1-2] but by then the Academy had been taken up by another label with a shift in policy more attuned to record collectors than to concert goers.
