It would be hard to claim the oboe as a main player in the rise of the According to the renowned audiofile Melvin Harris, it was Louis phonograph in the early years of the twentieth century. In both Gaudard who made the earliest oboe recording in 1899, but this claim contemporary literature and retrospective histories, oboists barely rate is still to be substantiated. The oldest surviving recordings date from a mention alongside the Carusos, Melbas, Elgars and Kreislers, and the the first decade of the 20th century, with showy solos of ephemeral lack of a comprehensive discography or historic anthology backs this appeal usually accompanied by band, orchestra or, more rarely, piano. up. But why have early oboe recordings been silent for so long? It is time to discredit the popular belief that of the few recordings of oboists Despite the scant examples, we are blessed with multiple that have survived, most are worthless from a musical standpoint. recordings of some favourites such as Une Soirée près du lac and standard orchestral repertoire like the overture to Guillaume While not featured as frequently as most other instruments, the oboe was Tell . These multiple versions allow direct comparison between not entirely silent in the recording studio. The problem lies much more in different oboists, although it should always be borne in mind that how and where to retrieve those distant echoes. Catalogues, reviews and the different settings and the recording process contributed in no the like cite specific recordings, but this is only a beginning. The next and Louis Goudard small measure to the total sonic record. harder step is to track down serviceable copies of this material which in Geoffrey Burgess most instances was considered of merely ephemeral value. This anthology spans the acoustic and electric eras and all recordings are monoaural. Léon Goossens was the most widely recorded oboist of the first half of the 20th century, but otherwise, all of the oboists It’s not needles, but the records themselves that need hunting down in the haystacks of archival featured in this anthology were active before the rise of the oboe “heroes” still familiar today - André repositaries and collectors’ attics. Artists’ names and instruments were given only rarely on the discs. Lardrot, Pierre Pierlot, Heinz Holliger, etc. Many were celebrated in their own day, but most are now Manufacturers’ catalogues can help but it is often necessary to resort to intelligent guesswork. forgotten. We have intentionally avoided duplicating the already copious quantity of re-released material. Oboists like Roger Lamorlette, who can be heard playing Poulenc’s trio for oboe, bassoon and piano with We have to consider ourselves lucky with what has survived. Contrary to what we might think, the the composer 1, have been omitted, and well known players like Goossens and Tabuteau whose work is scarcity of oboe recordings is not a reflection of the difficulties encountered in capturing its tone. Even the already widely available, are represented only by noteworthy selections hitherto unavailable 2. earliest acoustic recordings demonstrate that, with the player projecting directly into the recording horn, the oboe sounded better than many other instruments. The reason for the scant presence of the oboe on There is no natural terminus ad quem for this anthology. Stylistic changes in oboe playing tended to disc has to do more with its musical and cultural persona. Just as now, the recording industry in the early overlap advances in recording technology in complex ways.

Most of the original recordings used here are in an exceptionally fragile state and the audio quality of many is quite simply deplorable. Any wax cylinder or shellac disc that has miraculously survived the junk yard inevitably bears the signs of abuse - damaged through overuse, poor storage conditions, or the jostle of the flea market - before falling into the hands of a responsible collector.

  • Ronald Roseman: a Biographical Description and Study of His Teaching Methodology
    LAMPIDIS, ANNA, D.M.A. Ronald Roseman: A Biographical Description and Study of his Teaching Methodology. (2008) Directed by Dr. Mary Ashley Barret. 103 pp. Ronald Roseman was an internationally acclaimed oboe soloist, chamber musician, teacher, recording artist, and composer whose career spanned over 40 years. A renowned oboist, he performed in some of America’s most influential institutions and ensembles including the New York Woodwind Quintet, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York Bach Aria Group. His contributions to 20th Century oboe pedagogy through his own unique teaching methodology enabled him to contribute to the success of both his own personal students and many others in the field of oboe and woodwind performance. His body of compositions that include oboe as well as other instruments and voice serve to encapsulate his career as a noteworthy 20th Century composer. Roseman’s musicianship and unique teaching style continues to be admired and respected worldwide by oboists and musicians. The purpose of this study is to present a biographical overview and pedagogical techniques of oboist Ronald Roseman. This study will be divided into sections about his early life, teaching career, performance career and his pedagogical influence upon his students. Exercises and techniques developed by Roseman for the enhancement of oboe pedagogy will also be included. Interviews have been conducted with his wife and three former well-known students in order to better serve the focus of this study. The author also contributed pedagogical techniques compiled during a two-year period of study with Roseman. Appendices include a discography of recorded materials, the New York Woodwind Quintet works list, Roseman’s published article on Baroque Ornamentation, a list of his compositions with premiere dates and performers, and interview questions.

  • Wanda Landowska Bevorzugt Als Interpretin
    Landowska, Wanda Wahrheit war die Bemerkung an den Cellisten Pablo Ca- sals adressiert, wobei Landowska in einer Diskussion über die Ausführung von Bachschen Verzierungen bei ei- nem musikalischen Treffen in Banyuls-sur-Mer im Juni 1941 wortwörtlich sagte: “… ne discutons pas davantage. Continuez a jouer Bach a votre façon et moi, a sa façon”. (The Oxford Dictionary of American Quotations, hg. von Hugh Rawson, Margaret Miner, 2. Auflage. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006. S. 66.) Inhaltlich bildet der Satz durchaus einen Widerspruch zu Landowskas ei- gener Auffassung von Interpretation in späteren Jahren: „When I play, there is always a frame, although I do not care any longer about the rules of interpretation.“ (Wan- da Landowska, Being an Interpreter [1950er Jahre].
