  • 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.

  • Samlealbum Fra Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt Og Emmylou Harris
    14-03-2016 19:00 CET Samlealbum fra Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt og Emmylou Harris Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt og Emmylou Harris er alle tre legender i musikkens historie. Sammen har de solgt over 200 millioner album på verdensbasis, og har turnert i flere tiår fremfor utallige fans verden over. At suksessen var stor da disse ikonene gikk sammen og satt i gang et samarbeid, var ingen overraskelse. Trioen ga ut to album sammen; Trio(1987) og Trio II (1999) og resultatet var oppsiktsvekkende! De to albumene ble til sammen solgt i over fem millioner eksemplarer – og ble belønnet med tre Grammy Awards. Albumene har nylig blitt remastret, og den 9. september kommer samlealbumet The Complete Trio Collectionsom består av tre CD-disker fylt av klassikerne samt sjelden og uutgitt musikk. Produsentrollen har Harris selv hatt. Selv om det tok lang tid fra Parton, Ronstadt og Harris begynte å spille inn musikk sammen til det ble ferdigstilt et album – var det verdt ventetiden. Trioankom i 1987; og inneholdt hit-låtene ”To Know Him Is To Love Him”, ”Wildflowers” og ”Father Along”. Det tok mer enn et tiår til før etterfølgerenTrio IIkom i 1999, men resultatet var minst like imponerende som det forrige albumet. Nå er det god grunn til å glede seg til å høre de uutgitte låtene som The Complete Trio Collection inneholder! Samme dato slippes også: My Dear Companion: Selections From The Trio Collection, et enkelt-album som vil inneholde noen låter fra samlealbumet. Father Along – en dobbel vinyl med alt av bonusmateriale fra The Complete Trio Collection.

Firstly, I would like to thank my committee chair, Professor Luba Edlina-Dubinsky, for her musical inspirations, artistry, and devotion in teaching. Her passion for music and her belief in me are what motivated me to begin this journey. I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Jean-Louis Haguenauer and Dr. Karen Shaw, for their continuous supervision and never-ending encouragement that helped me along the way. I also would like to thank Professor Evelyne Brancart, who was on my committee in the earlier part of my study, for her unceasing support and wisdom. I have learned so much from each one of you. Additionally, I would like to thank Professor Mimi Zweig and the entire Indiana University String Academy, for their unconditional friendship and love. They have become my family and home away from home, and without them I would not have been where I am today.
