I spent about 50 years in broadcasting in the United States, Australia and Europe. I was also one of a handful of Americans that participated in a thing called the radio pirates of England in the 1960s. We did our broadcasts from a ship in the North Sea. I proved to myself that I can never, ever get seasick. We went through some pretty violent weather — our ship was only 180 feet long, a former liberty ship from World War II. I started out as a disc jockey and wound up as the general manager of Swinging Radio London before we were forced to shut down. – Jack CONNECT WITH US: LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery

    Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery

    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

Photography by Brandon Patoc. NOMINATION FOR THE AWARD WAS BASED ON THE ORCHESTRA’S “EXCEPTIONAL CONTRIBUTION” (GRAMOPHONE) TO RECORDED MUSIC IN PAST YEAR SEATTLE, WA – Today, Gramophone announced the Seattle Symphony has won the Orchestra of the Year Award, an award that recognizes the artistic excellence of an ensemble. The winner of the Orchestra of the Year Award was announced at the 2018 Gramophone Classical Music Awards ceremony in the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. The Seattle Symphony was among seven other international ensembles nominated for the award, and the only nominee outside of Europe. Selected by Gramophone’s editors and critics, finalists were chosen from recordings made from June 2017 through May 2018 and the winner was voted on by the general public. The Gramophone Classical Music Awards celebrate the most outstanding recordings of the past year, and this new award gave listeners the opportunity to vote for an orchestra they believe has made an exceptional contribution to recorded music. “The Seattle Symphony has a long and highly distinguished tradition of making recordings, and that tradition has continued under the musical directorship of Ludovic Morlot and his successor Thomas Dausgaard. The orchestra’s dynamic work in concert and the resulting recordings have clearly captured the public’s imagination who delivered an astounding 47 percent of votes to make the Seattle Symphony our inaugural Orchestra of the Year, an Award sponsored for the first time by Apple Music,” commented James Jolly, Editor in Chief for Gramophone.

Dausgaard’s inaugural album with the Seattle Symphony as its Music Director features powerful performances of works that pair for an intriguing exploration of the composers’ fascination with the Antichrist. Langgaard’s opera Antichrist – first staged in 2002 in a performance conducted by Thomas Dausgaard – is an apocalyptic vision of the world before Judgement Day, the time when Antichrist reigns and the time Langgaard felt he was living in. Prelude depicts the moments before the Last Judgement and the calamity that pervades humanity. While Langgaard, one of the most prominent composers from Daugaard’s native country of Denmark, has had works played by many major orchestras across the country, Seattle Symphony’s performance in April 2019 marked the US premiere of the original version of Thomas Dausgaard and the Seattle Symphony bring Strauss’ An Prelude to Antichrist.
