Subcollection: CelloCd Includes:
Film of Dvorak Rondo Op.94,D. Popper -Spinning Song, Theodore Saidenberg, piano. Hollywood, California1939, (PC and MAC compatible)
Program and biographical notes (16 p. : ill., port.) inserted in container.
Participant:
Emanuel Feuermann or Steven Isserlis (playing missing bars 550-557 in 4th work), violoncello ; Franz Rupp (1st, 3rd), Arpad Sandor (2nd), or Theodore Saidenberg (film), piano ;
New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, Arthur [i.e. Alexander] Smallens, conductor (4th). Event:Recorded Aug. and Dec. 1939, New York (1st, 3rd works), Oct. 27, 1932, Berlin (2nd), and Aug. 16, 1939, Lewisohn Stadium, New York (Saint-Saëns and Bach Suite). Section of Saint-Saëns performed by Steven Isserlis recorded in 2004. Film recorded 1939, Hollywood, Calif.
As many Feuermann enthusiasts will know, this dazzling live performance from 1939 has remained unheard by the public due largely to the fact that the original suffers from a 20 second break in the recorded sound during the last movement. Now with the expertise of Steven Isserlis (who plays the 'de Munck' Stradivarius used by Feurmann) and some engineering wizardry, Cello Classics has been able to 'fill' the gap so that the performance can be enjoyed uninterrupted. This was achieved by a very small (5 seconds) insert of new recorded material and the re-use of an existing section to cover the rest of the missing music. Of course it is an outrageous thing to do, to tamper with an original performance of such stature! How can one justify this? Well, it is possible, by omitting the inserted material, to listen to the original performance in its unedited state, if the listener so wishes. A great deal of care was taken to ensure that the spirit of the original is preserved as much as possible. Of course any keen eared listener will detect the work done, but the object was to allow a complete hearing of the work and it is felt that this has been achieved.
The other major attraction on this new Enhanced CD is the very rare film that was made also in 1939. As the only footage of its kind we can at last watch the great cellist perform two of his popular show pieces, Dvorak's Rondo and Popper's Spinning Song, and marvel at the spectacular bowing technique and Feuermann's phenomenal command of the instrument. The film can be viewed by placing the CD into a PC or Mac computer.
The rest of the CD is given to other short rarities - previously unheard takes of works by Bach and Fauré plus the Popper Papillon that was never released in Feuermann's lifetime. |

Verdi’s timeless masterpiece brought up to date in a hilarious new English version, shot on and around a golf course.
At a golf club near Windsor, “Big John” Falstaff props up the bar at the nineteenth hole, (the member’s bar) which is where he is invariably to be found. He doesn’t actually play golf, because no-one wants to play with him - and anyway he’s probably too plump to make it beyond the first green. However he takes comfort in the fact that his bar bill is about to be settled, and all he has to do to achieve this extraordinary feat is to seduce the lovely Alice Ford, a task that he considers himself eminently qualified to undertake. As the big man blunders from one catastrophe to another and the plot races towards its uproarious conclusion, Tony Britten’s trademark wit and accessibility perfectly compliments Verdi’s glorious comedy.
Falstaff is an operatic commedia lirica in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi, adapted by Arrigo Boito from Shakespeare's plays The Merry Wives of Windsor and scenes from Henry IV. |
