The Recordings

Product Information

Edward Elgar finished scoring his Enigma Variations in February 1899 and immediately set to work on an orchestral song-cycle to be performed at the Norwich Festival that October. As a kind of anchor for the new project, he turned to ‘Love alone will stay’, a brief song for voice and piano he’d written some years earlier on a poem by his wife, Alice. She tweaked her simple verses, substituting maritime imagery – ‘Closely cling, for winds drive fast’ became ‘Closely cling, for waves beat fast’, for example – and changed the title to ‘In Haven (Capri)’. This would become the cycle’s second song. Elgar then set four other poems with sea imagery, each by a different poet in the manner of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été. Abbado’s sweetly attenuated string sound is just as beautiful as Karajan’s more saturated sonority, a testament to the chamber-like imperatives of his latter-day music-making, not to mention the advantage of adequate rehearsal time!' History of the Cylinder Phonograph, Library of Congress, archived from the original on August 19, 2016 , retrieved November 6, 2018 The voice part of Sea Pictures is quite demanding, requiring a range of more than two octaves and, in the third and fifth songs, a voice large enough to buoy itself over orchestral writing that occasionally aspires to Wagnerian grandiloquence. At the same time, much of the vocal line is marked piano or pianissimo to create an intimate effect. In fact, in all of ‘Sea Slumber-Song’, ‘In Haven’ and ‘Where Corals Lie’, only once is the singer is asked to rise to a forte (in the latter song), and then only very briefly – not that you’d know this from several of the recordings discussed below in which the dynamic markings are largely ignored. The consent choice for each attendee is included in the attendance report. If the organizer has disabled the attendance report, the meeting can't be recorded. If an attendee isn't included in the attendance report - because they've opted out or the admin attendance report policy prevents it, they have a view-only meeting experience.

During World War I, engineers in the United States and Great Britain worked on ways to record and reproduce, among other things, the sound of a German U-boat for training purposes. Acoustical recording methods of the time could not reproduce the sounds accurately. The earliest results were not promising. There are also options for setting permissions regarding eDiscovery and searching in Microsoft Teams, to determine who should be able to discover meeting content in the organization.

Julie Dale, 46, said she was still “very, very angry” at Mr Harrison, who had been in a relationship with her daughter for roughly five years before her death. The first recording markets to suffer this fall included the so called ‘race’ markets of blues and jazz, and many metal master discs from seminal recordings were sold for scrap by record companies struggling to stay in business. Coinciding with the jazz age, this new technology brought jazz to a mass audience through record players and radios at home and through juke boxes and specialist record clubs.

The first jazz musician to choose his own recording material was Louis Armstrong. His studio groups, known as the Hot Five and Hot Seven, recorded between 1925 and 1928 and popularised many jazz standards just as electronic recording was becoming common-place. He was perhaps the most influential jazz recording artist, achieving many landmarks, including the first notable ‘scat’ singing on “Heebie Jeebies” in 1925. RCA Victor recorded the ODJB soon after, using an acoustic horn and with the musicians carefully positioned – the drummer furthest away and the pianist the closest – which achieved a better balanced and more authentic sound. A few recordings are notable for their sheer vocal splendour. Yvonne Minton, taped in 1977 with Barenboim and the LPO, may not illuminate the score’s details as magically as Baker does but she has her own insights, and the plush beauty of her tone, unfurled in long phrases, is at once commanding and consolatory. When she sings ‘The new sight, the new wondrous sight!’ in the third song, her ardour helps us to see it, too, and I like the way she lightens her tone for ‘Where Corals Lie’. During his eight-year reign in Leipzig, the Gewandhaus Orchestra has become as articulate a Brahms ensemble as any in Austro-Germany. It helps, of course, that Chailly himself is a trusted Brahmsian.' This setting provides you with a simple tool that reduces the amount of storage older recordings use. OneDrive and SharePoint monitor the expiration setting on all meeting recordings and automatically move recordings to the recycle bin on their expiration date.

How do I find my recordings?

Despite the popularity of recordings during World War I, only a limited selection of classical and popular musicwas released, mainly due to the limitations of the technology. More styles were recorded (including jazz) once electronic recording technology was adopted.

There was barely a dry eye in the courtroom as her increased fear and anxiety was played out through recovered voice notes from her phone.”

Initially, playing records over the air was outlawed in the US so work for musicians wasn’t threatened. The better sound quality and choice of radio over recordings resulted in a fall in record sales in the early 1920s. However, this prompted improvements in recording technologies, so records once again became the preferred domestic technology and sales grew again until the economic depression in the 1930s when sales of records and record players plummeted.

It’s a performance I’ve heard countless times, but listening to it in this comparative context only deepened my sense of awe and appreciation. Yes, Baker is in her absolute prime here – her tone darkly reedy, like a clarinet/cor anglais hybrid – and Barbirolli is as sensitive a collaborator as one can imagine, but it’s their mastery of the details that makes an extraordinary musical experience. Baker was the first, and remains one of the few, to take Elgar at his word throughout. She only sings forte when the score asks for it, and her poetic response to music and text makes every phrase come alive. How dreamy and delicate ‘In Haven’ is here, for example, and yet it’s also a perfectly unfussy reading that’s made special simply by being so sustained and sincere. And note the faint whiff of tragedy she communicates when she sings ‘Yes, press my eyelids closed’ in ‘Where Corals Lie’. Bach Goldberg Variations Beethoven Diabelli Variations Rzewski The People United Will Never Be Defeated! Clara Butt recorded ‘Where Corals Lie’ twice: in 1912, with an unnamed conductor (and out-of-tune orchestra) for the Gramophone Company, and again in 1920 with Hamilton Harty for Columbia. Standing at 6ft 2in, she was an imposing figure, and on records it often seems her voice overwhelms the nascent technology. As a result, perhaps, it’s her quiet singing that’s most alluring. Otherwise, her low notes are commanding, her diction clear, and there’s real passion in the line ‘Leave me, leave me, let me go’. Rhythmically, however, she can sound undisciplined and the overall effect is somewhat ungainly.
