| [#3229] I don't like originals I like translations Dear Friends, Earlier this month I reported to you all my opinion on "Leopold Stokowski Decca Recordings 1965-1972" (Decca "Original Masters" 5 CD-set) and said I found it immensely enjoyable. As a beginner follower of Stoki-ism I have just bought its second volume. The 6 CD-set include: Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5, 7, & 9 / Egmont Overture Schubert: Unfinished Symphony Brahms: Symphony No.1 Wagner: The Ride of the Valkyries / Dawn and Siegfried's Rhine Journey / Siegfried's Death and Funeral Music / Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla / Forest Murmurs / Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade / Capriccio espagnol Tchaikovsky :1812 Overture Mussorgsky: Night on the Bare Mountain / Boris Godunov - Symphonic synthesis Borodin: Polovtsian Dances Tchaikovsky: Marche slave The range speaks for itself and the greatest possible pleasure is assured. I have listened to a few pieces. There can be little doubt that the amount of $270 is well spent. This is a peerless body of work thankfully preserved in the best tradition of Decca analogue sound. I have nothing to add to the praises I showered on the Stokowski sound on 3 April (05-04-03 20:53), but I feel the urge to type for you a few lines from the essay in the accompanying booklet. "Leopold Stokowski was born within months of Brahms finishing his Second Piano Concerto and Wagner his Parsifal, and he was still working when the Sex Pistols first strutted their stuff on the stage of music history ... Stokowski was a perfectionist in matters of orchestral sound, and the recording techniques to satisfy him did not exist until the end of his long life, in the golden age of stereo. He made extensive use of the chance to record his core repertory in high quality sound, at first with RCA and in the last two years of his life with CBS, with whom he signed a six-year contract at the age of ninety-four! Outstanding in his career, however, was the complete decade (1964-75) he spent with Decca/London, whose spectacular "Phase 4" recording process was one of the glories of the stereo age ... Yes, he did make free with tempos and phrasing, he changed instrumentation (often doubling parts) and sometimes he even committed the crime of small omissions from the sacred book, the score ... Stokowski's tempos follow the expressive need of the individual phrases, and instruments no longer sound simply like themselves but subtly connect with what has just been or is just about to follow. The resulting sound is gloriously vital, addressing itself directly to the listener's sensibilities ... At some point the listener may well remember what Mahler once said, 'Everything is in the score except the essentials.' Or recall Furtwängler's brusque response to a question from his pupil Sergiu Celibidache about the correct tempo of a certain passage: 'What do you mean, how fast? It always depends on how it sounds!' The best possible sound was always Stokowski's aim, taking every risk, acknowledge no rules that could not be changed. 'Sound' actually means something more than the sounds heard, it entails the coming of life of a piece of music on all its many layers. The piece exists not because it was once written down on sheets of music paper but only when and while musicians play it, in an act of recreation, even new creation. Stokowski thought of conducting in that way, as opposed to being just the score's dutiful domestic servant." It's wonderful to have a piece so perceptive and so marvellously penned. But, my friends, what you have just read is actually an English translation of the German original. To me, it doesn't matter what the original essay says. With Stokowski's interpretations and this singularly fine translated text now before me (perfect timing, perfect diction), I realize why a character in Henry James's masterpiece "The Portrait of a Lady" says, "Well, I don't like originals; I like translations." (Chapter 9) |

| [#3232] I don't like originals I like translations trazom, thank you for the information. trollope, thanks for sharing your comments about Decca's Stokowski CD. Your comments are always in-depth and good guidelines. I think I'll buy the Stokowshi box-sets sooner or later. (Just too many on priority list.... :P ) He's one of the conductors that I want to get more recordings. Currently, I only have a few of his CDs. |

| [#3233] Camerata Bern in DG "Blue" About fifteen years ago I began to be a not-too-particularly-serious collector of CDs by Camerta Bern. While their greatest achievement remains Rossini's Sonatas for Strings (DG 413 310-2), their two Zelenka box-sets are connoisseurs' items. Among their many releases in DG's Archiv-Produktion series, there is a collection of oboe concertos (427 125-2), with Heinz Holliger as the soloist: Ludwig August Lebrun: Oboe Concerto No. 1 in D minor Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf: Oboe Concerto in G major Antonio Salieri: Concerto for Violin, Oboe, Violoncello and Orchestra in G major Second-hand CD shops in Hong Kong will now call this CD a collector’s piece: made in W.-Germany (1988), silver inner ring etc. But it's more Lebrun (1752-1790) by this group of highly cultured musicians that has been my craving for years. My prayer was answered yesterday with this acquisition: Lebrun: Oboe Concertos Nos. 1-6 Mozart: Oboe Concerto in C major, K.314* Heinz Holliger / Camerata Bern / Munich Chamber Orchestra* / Thomas Füri / Hans Stadlmair* [1964-1981] DG (Archiv Produktion - Blue) 471 725-2: DDD 2002 (2 CDs) I conducted a blind test just now of Lebrun's Oboe Concerto No.1. The improvement in sonic clarity of the latest issue is spectacular -- it's a walk-over. The sound of the 1988 version pales by comparison: it seems pusillanimous, while the 2002 reincarnation is bigger in tone without being pushy. The Mozart concerto is a much earlier recording (1964) from the Salzburg Mozarteum archive, but the sound is astonishingly modern. The booklet says that specially for this piece DG has digitally remastered it --“at 96kHz/24 bit from the original mastertapes by Emil Berliner Studios”. Whatever that means, a minor miracle is now presented before us. The moral is: there are rooms for improvement in quite a number of early "DDD" CDs. As a major sound-carrier, CD is a scientific product. Despite the claims / craps of second-hand shops, in science late-comers almost always come first. This set of DG "Blue" CDs restores the elegance, virtuosity and sparkle of a much underrated ensemble and will give enormous pleasure. |

| [#3235] The pleasure is mine Hi DL and all, you are welcome. In fact I am indebted to all of you who allow me the pleasure of thinking aloud here, virtually. Indeed "thought" is the operative word, for the process should be music-lovers' fundamental tool for making sense of their listening experience. PS. DL deserves my grateful thanks for pointing to a web link on "Complete Stokowski Compact Discography" more than two years ago in the early days of this thread (03-03-31 02:00). |
