Albert Einstein In an affidavit by Mary Spaulding, wife of the famous violinist Alfred Spaulding,was preserved a conversation she had with albert Einstein in the New York http://www.christianscience.org/Einstein.htm
Extractions: Dr. Albert Einstein Science without religion is lame; Religion without science is blind. Albert Einstein, 1941 Few people today realize how much Albert Einstein studied Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, supported its conclusions, and admired its author, Mary Baker Eddy. Dr. Einstein was known to visit Christian Science churches and Reading Rooms in the New York and New Jersey areas. There have been numerous anecdotes and quotes preserved over the years from individuals who have had knowledge of, or contact with Dr. Einstein, in connection with Christian Science. "R.S. of WA, was told years ago by the librarian of the New York Reading Room which Dr. Einstein frequented, that upon his leaving the Reading Room one day he commented, 'You people don't know what you have in that book (meaning Science and Health).'" "In an affidavit by Mary Spaulding, wife of the famous violinist Alfred Spaulding, was preserved a conversation she had with Albert Einstein in the New York City Reading Room on 42nd Street. Dr. Einstein's high regard for Science and Health is reflected in the following: 'Science and Health is beyond this generation's understanding. It is the pure science. And, to think that a woman knew this over eighty years ago!'"

Extractions: After marrying Marian Nevins, MacDowell settled for about three years (1885-1888) in Wiesbaden where the couple received among other musical friends, George Templeton Strong, Jr., George Whitefield Chadwick, Arthur Foote, and most importantly, Benjamin Johnson Lang, one of the arbiters of musical taste in Boston. Lang subsequently convinced MacDowell to move to the Boston area to pursue his career as a composer, performer, and teacher. He made his American debut in Boston as composer-pianist at a Kneisel Quartet concert at Chickering Hall, November 19,1888 playing three movements from his First Modern Suite and assisting in Goldmark's Piano Quintet in B-flat. On Lang's recommendation, Wilhelm Gericke invited MacDowell to play Ids new Second Piano Concerto, Op. 23, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the spring of 1889, but he actually played the work with an orchestra under Theodore Thomas in New York, s Chickering Hall on March 5, 1889, a month before the Boston concerto April 12, The conductor Frank van der Stucken invited MacDowell to play the concerto in a concert of American music at the Paris Exposition Universelle on July 12. From that inaugural year of 1888 to 1896, when he left Boston to accept an appointment as Columbia University's first professor of music, MacDowell's successes as a virtuoso and composer continued unabated. It was during this period that most of the major works on which his reputation as a composer rests were created: Hamlet and Ophelia, Op. 22; Lancelot and Elaine, Op. 25; Six Love Songs, Op. 40; First Orchestral Suite, Op. 42;Sonata tragica, Op.45; Eight Songs, Op. 47; The Indian Suite (Second Orchestral Suite), Op. 48; Sonata eroica, Op, 50; and Woodland Sketches, Op. 51.

Extractions: The chaconne follows rather accurately the Folia chord progression throughout the piece. The repetitive character reminds me of the Folia by Ian Krouse . A piece that instantly pops up in my mind listening to Chaconne is "Continuum" by Gyorgy Ligeti a classical in the contemporary repertoire for harpsichord, another instrument with plucked strings. Although plucked strings cannot create a continuous motion of legato, the very fast repetition of tones, resulting in three wavelike movements, suggests that such an impression can be created in Chaconne.

Extractions: FEBBRAIO - MARZO Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868): OTELLO (Complete opera - 3 Cds 1st recording of the "Malibran" version, including both happy final and tragic final Paolo Arrivabeni, conductor - The Festival of Martina Franca has by now become a welcome rendezvous for the lovers of opera who wish to rediscover some of the last century's most important theatrical works. Many of these have become rarities being very seldom performed internationally not on account of musical shortcomings but because of the progressive stiffening of the lyrical seasons' programs. This Otello by Rossini, for example, recorded live during the last summer's Festival, is a real masterpiece and represents a very important stage in the composer's creative career. The version here recorded is the one written in 1831 for the great soprano Maria Malibran (as Otello !) and includes, in addition to the tragic finale from Shakespeare's famous story of love and death, also an alternative happy conclusion.

Extractions: Carolina Chamber Symphony's Audacious Program Succeeds by William Thomas Walker WFU's Brendle Recital Hall may have been far from full on May 12, but those who were there for the Carolina Chamber Symphony's season finale were avid listeners. A large proportion of the audience was made up of students, and the local Salvation Army made it possible for some school-age children to attend. Many of the musicians that make up the CCS are principals or assistant principals of the Greensboro Symphony or the Winston-Salem Symphony. Guest conductor David Wiley selected an audacious program that would have been challenging for an established music director with a long working relationship with his players, much less a visitor who had to meld performances from only three rehearsals. All but one of the programmed pieces are normally played by full-sized orchestras. Greensboro-based composer Russell Peck is building a sizeable list of successful compositions that have been taken up by many orchestras. Signs of Life II The Good Music Guide – Briselli "complained that they were too full of Barber's characteristic lyricism." He demanded technical fireworks to show off his virtuosity, but when he saw the bravura ending, with its four minutes of non-stop brilliance, he pronounced it unplayable, whereupon Fels asked for his money back. Another Curtis violinist, Herbert Braumel, after a few hours of study, was able to play it for the school's founder, Mrs. Curtis Bok, its director, Josef Hofmann, and composer Gian Carlo Menotti. A deal was struck, Barber kept the advance, and Fels and Briselli relinquished all performance rights. Braumel performed it with the Curtis Institute Orchestra under Fritz Reiner in 1939, and the official premiere took place on February 7, 1941, with Albert Spaulding and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.

Extractions: NAXOS 8.559044 (B) (DDD) TT: 64:20 The winner here is James Buswells distinguished playing of the lovely concerto that Barber completed in 1940, which has since become the most recorded American violin concerto. Yet its history was plagued by complaints from the Curtis Institute student for whom it was commissioned by his adoptive father, Samuel Fels, the naphtha soap magnate. The first two movements were claimed to be too simple, and the finale too difficult. A pair of fellow Curtis students, with Fritz Reiner conducting, proved the stepson flat-out wrong. Barber refunded half of the fee, but in return asked for full rights. One hopes it made him a lot of money. A year later Albert Spaulding introduced it publicly with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, although it wasnt recorded until the LP era (first by Louis Kaufmann on the Orion label, if my decimated library can be trusted). Isaac Stern gave it The Big Push in 1964 with the NYP (still available on Sony as part of The Bernstein Century).

Hilary Hahn led by Fritz Reiner, though the official premiere came in 1941 with violinistAlbert spalding and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. http://www.sonyclassical.com/artists/hahn/adnews.html
Extractions: Violinist Hilary Hahn premieres a new violin concerto written for her by American composer Edgar Meyer on a new CD which also features Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto. Joining Hahn for the recording are conductor Hugh Wolff and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra , with whom she collaborated in the world premiere performances of the Meyer concerto just a few days before the recording was made. "I could not be happier that a work with so much spirit, power, dramatic range and lyrical beauty is dedicated to me," Hahn said in describing the work, which she calls "a superb and challenging concerto by one of the most original composers writing in the late twentieth century." Coupled with it is a more established work that also has strong ties to the Curtis Institute of Music the Violin Concerto of American composer Samuel Barber. Barber, a Curtis alumnus, wrote his concerto in 1939 as a commission for a young violinist and Curtis graduate who was displeased with the final results. It was another Curtis student, Herbert Baumel, who proved in an impromptu test that the concerto's finale was not "unplayable" as had been suggested. Baumel gave the unofficial first performance of the concerto with the school's orchestra, led by Fritz Reiner, though the official premiere came in 1941 with violinist Albert Spalding and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.
