The 100th birthday of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, one of the reigning sopranos of the second half of the 20th century, falls on 9 December 2015. She died in 2006, but her recordings are timeless treasures of the Warner Classics catalogue. Like her close contemporary and friend, Maria Callas, Schwarzkopf is a representative of a golden era of recording; but while Callas is closely identified with Italian composers and specifically with opera, Schwarzkopf is admired above all in music of the Austro-German tradition, both opera and song.

The 31-CD deluxe box set, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf: The Complete Recitals 1952-1974, to be released on 6 November, gathers together all the recital programmes of song, opera and operetta that Schwarzkopf recorded for EMI between 1952 and 1974 with Walter Legge – who became the soprano’s husband in 1953 – as producer. Schwarzkopf and Legge conceived each programme with the greatest of care, and this collection respects and retains the integrity of every recital, with no recoupling or reorganisation of the tracks. In addition, the recordings have been remastered to the highest standards in 24-bit/96kHz: Schwarzkopf’s art emerges in all its beauty, refinement and detail.

פתח דבר
העיקר בחיים הוא שתהיה לך דיעה מוקדמת על כל דבר ודבר. ואמנם מסתבר שדעת ההמון מוטעית, ואילו דעת היחיד לעולם צודקת. יש להשמר שלא לגזור מכאן כללי התנהגות: ככל הנראה את אלה אין צורך לנסח על מנת לנהוג על פיהם. רק שני דברים חשובים באמת: האהבה, בכל צורה, עם בחורות יפות, והמוסיקה של ניו אורלינס או של דיוק אלינגטון. השאר היה צריך להעלם, היות שהשאר מכוער.קומץ הדפים שלהלן, הבאים לשמש ראיה לדבר, נוטלים את מלוא תוקפם מן העובדה שהסיפור הוא אמיתי מכל וכל, שכן הוא פרי דמיוני מראשיתו ועד סופו. הביצוע עצמו עומד בעיקרו על הקרנת המציאות - באטמוספירה משוחדת ומחוממת - על גבי מישור התייחסות בעל גליות לא אחידה הגורמת עיוות. למותר לומר שאם יש דרך פעולה כשרה למהדרין, זאת היא.

unknown music

Rónán Murray was born in Dublin in 1977. His early musical training was with his father, Ciarán. Subsequent organ studies with Peter Sweeney at the Dublin Conservatory of Music and Drama were complemented by masterclasses from such leading organists as James David Christie (USA) and Ben van Oosten (Netherlands). Rónán is an Associate of the Royal College of Organists, and Trinity College, London. He is active as a freelance organist, pianist and composer. With a repertoire covering everything from traditional music and jazz piano, to classical organ music and improvisation, Rónán also writes and performs his own songs. He has made numerous radio and television broadcasts and is much in demand both as a solo artist and collaborator, including accompanying his sister, renowned soprano Niamh Murray. Recent appearances include the first Cork International Pipe Organ Festival in 2005 and a performance at the organ of St. Sulpice church, Paris on an organ that is surely one of the great musical treasures of the world.

Rónán has featured as musical director for many productions, especially variety concerts in venues throughout Ireland. He was a finalist in the Unisong International Song Competition 2004. He co-wrote and performed (with mezzo-soprano Maria de Moel) the musical theatre piece "Violating Messages: The Songs of Kurt Weill" during the 2005 Dublin Fringe Festival. His debut album of songs, Reasons and Seasons was released in 2006.

In August 2006 Rónán performed a recital at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, home to one of the greatest pipe organs in the world. April 2007 saw Rónán perform in Lodz Cathedral, Poland, where he returned in October 2014.

Rónán's interest in, and flair for, improvisation led to his improvising an entire soundtrack to Murnau's silent film masterpiece "Nosferatu", at Hallowe'en 2010 in Monkstown Parish Church.

In October 2011, Rónán gave the rededicatory recital on the fine pipe organ in the chapel of Blackrock College, his old school. This instrument was, under his guidance, substantially enlarged and improved by Trevor Crowe. August 2012 saw Rónán perform an organ recital on the great Casavant organ of St. John's Anglican Cathedral, Newfoundland, Canada. Since 1996, Rónán has been organist of St. Joseph's Church, Glasthule, Dublin, home to a magnificent organ which is also under the care of Trevor Crowe.

Upcoming projects include recordings of both organ music and his original songs. Rónán has frequently performed, as organist and pianist, on radio and television, both for RTE and the BBC, and is equally at home playing by ear, from memory, or with sheet music, in almost any genre.
