  • WALTON, William Turner Piano Quartet / Violin Sonata / Toccata (M
    WALTON, William Turner Piano Quartet / Violin Sonata / Toccata (M. Jones, S.-J. Bradley, T. Lowe, A. Thwaite) Notes to performers by Matthew Jones Walton, Menuhin and ‘shifting’ performance practice The use of vibrato and audible shifts in Walton’s works, particularly the Violin Sonata, became (somewhat unexpectedly) a fascinating area of enquiry and experimentation in the process of preparing for the recording. It is useful at this stage to give some historical context to vibrato. As late as in Joseph Joachim’s treatise of 1905, the renowned violinist was clear that vibrato should be used sparingly,1 through it seems that it was in the same decade that the beginnings of ‘continuous vibrato use’ were appearing. In the 1910s Eugene Ysaÿe and Fritz Kreisler are widely credited with establishing it. Robin Stowell has suggested that this ‘new’ vibrato began to evolve partly because of the introduction of chin rests to violin set-up in the early nineteenth century.2 I suspect the evolution of the shoulder rest also played a significant role, much later, since the freedom in the left shoulder joint that is more accessible (depending on the player’s neck shape) when using a combination of chin and shoulder rest facilitates a fluid vibrato. Others point to the adoption of metal strings over gut strings as an influence. Others still suggest that violinists were beginning to copy vocal vibrato, though David Milsom has observed that the both sets of musicians developed the ‘new vibrato’ roughly simultaneously.3 Mark Katz persuasively posits the idea that much of this evolution was due to the beginning of the recording process.

  • The Modernisation of Wind Playing in London Orchestras, 1909–1939: A
    The modernisation of wind playing in London orchestras, 1909–1939: A study of playing style in early orchestral recordings Emily Claire Worthington PhD University of York Department of Music April 2013 2 3 Abstract This is a study of performing styles among wind players in London orchestras during the period 1909–1939. Existing scholarship relating to orchestral performance in London in the early twentieth century perpetuates the notion that playing standards were, at best, unreliable until the establishment of contracted orchestras in the 1930s. In addition, existing studies of wind playing in orchestral recordings pre-1930 suggest that a plain style prevailed, with little use of vibrato or tonal flexibility, until the French woodwind schools began to influence British practices in the late 1930s. Three London orchestras are considered through a combination of archival research and recording analysis. A case study of the New Symphony Orchestra (1905–1930) challenges the notion that pre-1930 London orchestras were ill-disciplined and lacking in corporate identity. The NSO’s recordings document a hyper-expressive performance style founded on the use of temporal flexibility, which bears relation to styles observed among pianists, singers and string players of the period. Attention then turns to London’s first ‘permanent’ orchestras, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra. Documentary evidence shows that the two ensembles were established to fulfill two very different ideals of orchestral performance and musical aesthetic. Comparison of the orchestras’ recordings is used to establish how this led to the emergence of two contrasting styles of playing in their wind sections, both of which nonetheless represented a move away from the style of the NSO.

En este caso, “El Concierto para viola y orquesta” de William Walton es uno de los conciertos más importantes para los violistas en la actualidad debido a la variedad de exigencias técnicas e interpretativas que van ligadas a las emociones, colores y timbres propios del instrumento. Es objeto de estudios académicos, recitales, talleres, festivales, concursos y requisito en plazas de orquesta en todo el mundo. El violista y compositor Paul Hindemith estrenó el Concierto para viola y orquesta de William Walton en 1929 y, posteriormente, fue interpretada por Lionel Tertis en 1930. En ambos casos el compositor dirigió su obra y cabe resaltar que de estas interpretaciones no existen registros. La primera grabación fue hecha por Frederick Riddle en 1937, años posteriores William Primrose (1946 y 1954), Yuri Bashmet (1988), Yehudi Menuhin (1968), Maxim Vengerov (2004) y Antonie Tamestit (2018) también dejaron un registro sonoro. Estas serán las referencias que se analizarán desde los diferentes enfoques técnicos e interpretativos que se le ha dado a la obra.

  • Dennis Brain Broadcasts: Radio Times
    Dennis Brain Broadcasts: Radio Times Listings Supplemented by Information from Letters and Contracts and other documents in BBC Written Archives Compiled by Stephen Gamble February 2013 Introduction The following broadcasts (not by any means exhaustive), listed chronologically by date, are compiled from consulting original documents at the BBC Written Archives, Caversham, UK as well as microfilmed copies of Radio Times from 1939 to 1957. Documents consulted at Caversham include: The Aubrey, Leonard and Dennis Brain Source file, the correspondence files for broadcast schedules and contracts, and the programme as broadcast files for recording reference numbers (where applicable), and the precise transmission times and other details. The correspondence files at Caversham that were referred to for this list are the following:- Contributors: Brain, Dennis, File 1A 1939-1946 Contributors: Brain, Dennis, File 1B 1947-1949 Contributors: Brain, Dennis, North Region Artists, 1948-1955 Contributors: Brain, Dennis, Artists File III, 1953-1956 Contributors: File 1 Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble, 1946-1962 The Dennis Brain Source File at BBC Written Archives, Caversham, is far from complete in its listing of his broadcasts. It barely scratches the surface of the total extent of his BBC engagements. A search of the BBC Written Archives microfilm collection and detailed study of the correspondence files shows many additional broadcasts not listed in the Source file. Searching Radio Times week by week has revealed many others. Some of the correspondence relates to the BBC’s planning for broadcasts that did not go ahead. Even at an advanced stage of planning, changes sometimes had to be made. It is possible that at a very advanced stage in programming, after Radio Times had been printed, he wasn’t able to go ahead with a broadcast.

  • Top 10 Walton Recordings Gramophone Wed 20Th March 2019
    Top 10 Walton recordings Gramophone Wed 20th March 2019 Ten great albums of William Walton's music from Edward Gardner, Richard Hickox, Andrew Litton, André Previn and many more From his earliest twenties an enfant terrible, for the last 30 and more years of his life an elder statesman, Sir William Walton enjoyed an extraordinary career. Here are ten outstanding recordings of some of his finest works, including the Gramophone Award-winning Troilus and Cressida conducted by Richard Hickox, Steven Isserlis's fine recent account of the Cello Concerto and André Previn's sensational account of the First Symphony with the LSO. Walton The Centenary Edition Robert Cohen vc Tasmin Little vn Paul Neubauer va Bryn Terfel bar Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra / Andrew Litton • Concerto for Cello and Orchestra • Symphony No. 1 • Scapino • Concerto for Violin and Orchestra • Symphony No. 2 • Façade, Suite No. 1 • Façade, Suite No. 2 • Concerto for Viola and Orchestra • Variations on a Theme by Hindemith • Crown Imperial • Belshazzar's Feast • Coronation Te Deum • Henry V • Orb and Sceptre Decca’s four­disc Walton Edition offers consistently fine versions of all of the composer’s most important orchestral works‚ some of them unsurpassed‚ in full‚ brilliant sound. Andrew Litton‚ the conductor of all but two minor items is central to the success of the whole. Like his compatriot‚ André Previn‚ he is idiomatic‚ with a natural feeling for the jazzy syncopations at the heart of so much of Walton’s music. Substantially‚ this brings together the three Litton discs previously issued but with important additions. The third disc was issued separately last year and contains outstanding versions‚ never previously released‚ of the Viola Concerto and Hindemith Variations plus the two Façade Suites.
