The Halle Orchestra nearly died, after 140 years of existence, when hit by a financial crisis in 1998. What led to that fateful day, not far short of the centenary of the organisation responsible for it? How could a century of achievement be threatened by such disaster. Journalist and music critic Robert Beale, a Halle concert-goer since the days of Sir John Barbirolli, delves into over 100 years of archives of the Halle Concerts Society to uncover the story behind the crisis.

Endless Fascination brings together Thomas Pitfield’s most significant autobiographical writings, new critical essays reappraising his work, and the recollections of family, friends, pupils and colleagues. It is illustrated with portraits, musical examples and over 100 reproductions of his art and craft works, supplemented by a CD of music by the composer and his acquaintances.Thomas Pitfield (1903-1999) was born in Bolton, Lancashire, into a conventional and narrow-minded working-class family. Drawn to music and driven by a compelling urge to compose, he overcame initial setbacks and lived according to principles he worked out for himself, maintaining a modest and honest lifestyle directed by the precepts of vegetarianism and pacifism, and keeping faith with his innate gifts to make a living and a home for himself and his like-minded wife Alice. He became a notable and prolific composer who enjoyed numerous performances and broadcasts of his works, especially in the North West region of England, some by leading artists such as John Barbirolli, Vilém Tauský, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, John McCabe, and Ronald Stevenson. His music, often written for specific occasions or performers, was typically light-hearted and small-scale, with frequent reference to folk-music; larger-scale pieces included two piano concertos, concertos for violin, cello and recorder, and more than a dozen stage works. He was also an artist, craftsman and poet (with an enthusiasm for nonsense verse), whose work reflects the revival of interest in the arts and crafts during the first half of the 20th century. Running as a thread though everything he did was his unswerving love for the natural world and in particular the beauty of trees.

This short piece for recorder and piano, written for the 50th anniversary of the Stockport Recorder College, is an affectionate memory of the double decker trams the composer recalls from his childhood in the 1930s and 40s. The conductor rings the bell, the tram starts, picks up speed and away we go bringing memories of care free days some 80 years ago.Peter Hope has worked for many internationally known names, including Jose Carreras and Kiri te Kanawa, and other leading composers including John Williams and James Horner. His original compositions include the Suite Ring of Kerry (which won an Ivor Novello Award in1968/9), a Trumpet Concerto, performed by Elgar Howarth, a Concertino for bassoon and orchestra, recorded by Graham Salvage with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, a Recorder Concerto, recorded by John Turner with the Manchester Camerata Ensemble, and an Oboe Sonata, recently published by Forsyth and written in memory of Evelyn Barbirolli.Hope’s Bramall Hall Dances, for recorder and guitar/piano is also published by Forsyth and has become a standard repertoire work for the recorder. Further recorder publications Geordie Tunes, Tallis Remembered and his Recorder Sonata are available from the same publisher.

In den sechziger Jahren gab es in ganz Europ fur viele Kunstler der klassischen Musik nur eine Adresse fur Schallplatteneinspielungen: EMI/His Master's Voice an der Abbey Road in London. Und der Grund fur eine Reise in die Hauptstadt des Inselreichs waren zwei Manner in den Studios. Der legendare Walter Legge und sein Assistent, der aus Indien emigrierte Suvi Raj Grubb, der von 1963 an die Produktion der Schallplattenaufnahmen uberwachte und damit massgeblich zum Erfolg der Kunstler und des Labels beitrug.In seinen Erinnerungen lasst Grubb die Blutezeit der Schallplatte noch einmal Revue passieren und den Leser gleichsam als Insider teilnehmen an diesen Aufnahmen, lasst ihn all den beruhmten Kunstlern uber die Schulter blicken und sie bei ihrer Arbeit beobachten. Grubb erzahlt spannend und halt auch dort nicht zuruck, wo es problematische Aspekte zu thematisieren gilt: beispielsweise den oft sehr schwierigen Umgang mit eigenwilligen Kunstlerindividualitaten. Entstanden ist eine Reihe liebenswerter, informativer und im Detail durchaus auch kritischer Kunstlerportraits: ein Muss fur alle Liebhaber und Kenner klassischer Schallplatten.
