EUGENE ORMANDY
Tumblr media
THE COLUMBIA STEREO RECORDINGS 1958-1963 en 88 CD
Tras el éxito de las recientes colecciones de Ormandy para Sony Classical (discografías en formato monoaural con las orquestas Sinfónica de Minneapolis y de Filadelfia), el sello presenta ahora las grabaciones en estéreo del director de Filadelfia, con todas las grabaciones publicadas entre 1958 y 1963 (más algunas de años posteriores). Disponible el 17 de noviembre.
Eugene Ormandy sustituyó a Leopold Stokowski en la dirección musical de Filadelfia en 1938 y ocupó el cargo durante 42 años. Durante ese tiempo, su nombre y el de la orquesta se hicieron inseparables, ya que cultivó y desarrolló aún más el voluptuoso sonido que se originó con su predecesor. "Cualquier director refleja claramente el instrumento que toca", dijo en una ocasión Ormandy (1899-1985), nacido en Budapest. "Mi sonido es el que es porque fui violinista". Como dijo un cronista: "Cada pieza que tocaba Ormandy se caracterizaba por un tono de cuerda maduro en torno al cual podía brillar el resto de la orquesta".
Ormandy y sus músicos se cuentan entre los artistas más prolíficos de todos los tiempos. Entre 1944 y 1968 (precedidos y seguidos por contratos con RCA Victor), estuvieron asociados exclusivamente con Columbia Masterworks. Ormandy era un entusiasta de las grabaciones, trabajaba con rapidez y se acomodaba fácilmente a la planificación de la empresa para producir superventas.
La nueva caja estéreo Ormandy/Philadelphia de Sony Classical está repleta de obras conocidas y desconocidas de prácticamente todos los compositores famosos (y de muchas figuras olvidadas), que abarcan siglos y cubren la línea estilística que va desde Bach (tanto los hijos como el padre) hasta Beethoven, Berlioz, Borodin, Bartók y otros. Sería imposible enumerarlos a todos.
La nueva colección incluye numerosos estrenos en CD. Entre ellos: Lagrabación completa de 1958 de Ormandy de Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien de Debussy con la soprano Hilde Gueden y Vera Zorina como narradora; la Misa en si menor de Bach y el Réquiem de Brahms de 1962; así como sinfonías de Haydn y otras obras de Borodin, Glinka, Wagner, Poulenc, Casella y compositores americanos como Yardumian, Barati, Rochberg y Dello Joio.
En 1963, Ormandy y the Philadelphians realizaron la primera grabación estadounidense de la Cuarta Sinfonía de Shostakovich. Al analizar recientemente la discografía estéreo de Ormandy en Columbia, el crítico de ClassicsToday alabó su "voluptuosa" Scheherazade, su "extraordinaria Fantasía de Vaughan Williams sobre 'Greensleeves', sus transcripciones de Bach ("Maravillosamente realizadas, ponen de relieve las dotes de Ormandy como arreglista de Bach post-Stokowski, una parte importante de su legado") y su especial afinidad por la música rusa, incluyendo "su gloriosa Quinta Sinfonía y Serenata para cuerdas de Chaikovski, su magnífica Segunda de Rachmaninov, y su clásico Concierto para violonchelo de Shostakovich con Rostropovich unido a una excelente Primera Sinfonía". El propio compositor asistió a estas sesiones y quedó deslumbrado tanto por el director como por la orquesta. Son grabaciones imprescindibles. Ormandy también fue conocido en vida como el mejor acompañante de conciertos, y esta combinación de los conciertos para violín de Chaikovski y Mendelssohn muestra su cordial colaboración con Isaac Stern al más alto nivel".
Otros oyentes y cronistas no dudarán en añadir sus propios favoritos a esa breve selección de grabaciones imprescindibles de Ormandy. De hecho, para los numerosos entusiastas y coleccionistas del director de orquesta, la nueva y completa caja de Sony Classical -todos los temas presentados en remasterizaciones nuevas o en las mejores disponibles- es digna de elogio.

"All Things End"
Presenting my updated fic with an immersive reading experience!
This fic holds a special piece of my soul, and I wrote it as a keyboard smash direct to post through a river of tears. I've reread it many times, but decided to step back and really revisit it.
With much help from @chunkypossum and @pippsmcgee this piece has been properly edited, updated, and even rewritten in spots. Much alcohol was consumed and many tears were shed in this process by all parties. I cannot thank them enough for their understanding of past tense, emotional stamina to relive this over and over, and never ending support as I obsessively messaged them with song ideas and editing updates. @pippsmcgee deserves incredibly special thanks for her editing services, which are, to quote her, "drunk enough to be clinical, but not so drunk I can't do subject verb agreement."
For the immersive component, I've created two playlists to go along with this fic. The "'All Things End Direct' Accompaniment" playlist has been formulated and tested to be listened to as you read the fic, with each song matching a specific scene or emotion you will encounter. The timing of the playlist should work out so that you only have to finish listening to the end of a song before proceeding to the next chapter. The first and last song are posted in the pre notes of each chapter in AO3.
The "'All Things End' Extended Playlist" includes all of the songs in the previous playlist as well as additional songs that did not match the timing of the read, but do match the emotions. This playlist is continually updated as I come across new songs that deserve a place here.
My wish is that this fic touches you, my readers, as much as it has touched me to write and curate the playlists. There is beauty and love to be found everywhere, even in death. Thank you for interacting and I sincerely hope you enjoy.
Please hydrate and get tissues before you start.
Below the cut you can find a full break down of each song per chapter, including explanations and authors notes.
Chapter 1: Inside Fading Out
"All Things End" by Hozier, the first four songs are all meant to be iterations of the emotions Azriel experiences as he learns and processes his mate's diagnosis and prognosis.
"Breathe (2AM)" by Anna Nalick
"Amen" by Amber Run
"The Call" by Regina Spektor
"Light" by Sleeping At Last, this song represents Azriel's will power to stand by his mate and take care of him no matter what.
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You" by Glenn Campbell, written during his own battle with Alzheimer's and meant to parallel Eris's own. On the extended playlist, you can find the song "Tell You About Her" by Ryan Nealon, which he wrote about his grandma and her struggle with dementia.
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane, meant to accompany Azriel and Eris together in his last days, and represent how they still find each other.
"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie, to indicate the love these two have for each other, even in the darkness of disease and death.
Chapter 2: Broken Pieces
"Come Sweet Death" by Johann Sebastian Back, performed by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra
"Adagio for Strings, Op. 11" by Samuel Barber, performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic
"Ghost" by Micky, the song that started this entire playlist and represents Azriel's emotions after losing his mate.
"Saturn" by Sleeping At Last and Tim Fain. This song inspired Linna's eulogy to Eris
Chapter 3: What Remains
"Hurts Like Hell" by Tommee Profitt and Lauren Strahm, performed by Fleurie and Tommee Profitt, this song reflects on Azriel's state of mind after his mate's funeral. This song was also one of the initial inspirations for this chapter. The second song that influenced this chapter "As The World Caves in by Matt Maltese covered by Sarah Cothran can be found on the extended playlist.
"Impassioned Lament" by Andrew Achilles DiMestico. The story of Patroclus and Achilles heavily inspired me while writing this fic and this song represents Azriel's flight to the Night Court. I wrote the entire fic to my Patroclus X Achilles playlist, also available on spotify.
"Breathe Me" by Sia, represents Azriel asking his Night Court family for help.
"Homeward Bound" sung by Peter Hollens, meant to reflect on Azriel realizing his home is in Autumn and leaving the Night Court for the last time.
"To Build A Home" by J. Swinscoe, Patrick Watson, & Phil France and performed by Patrick Watson, & The Cinematic Orchestra. This song is meant to reflect on Azriel and Eris's relationship with the tree and with each other. It accompanies Azriel's last day and him stepping through the veil with Eris.
Chapter 4: Outside Looking In
"Life and Death" by Michael Giacchino, performed by Michael Giacchino, The Hollywood Studio Symphony, and Tim Simonec. This is the death theme that plays in the show "Lost" and reflects on the pain of the moment.
"Brother" by Kodaline. Instead of sharing the meaning of this song, I'm going to share a line that carved out a bat boy sized piece of my soul.
Oh, brother, we go deeper than the ink beneath the skin of our tattoos. Though we don't share the same blood you're my brother and I love you, that's the truth.
"On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter, performed by Chris Worsey, John Metcalfe, Louisa Fuller, Max Richter, Natalia Bonner, & Philip Sheppard. A bittersweet song that reflects on love and loss.
"Think Of Me Once In A While, Take Care" by Take Care
"Into the West" performed by Peter Hollens. This is meant to be the song that Azriel sings from the symphonia during the funeral, and a song he would sing to Linna when she had nightmares. Other songs on the symphonia can be found in the extended playlist: "Edge of Night" performed by Peter Hollens, "Lullaby" by Sleeping At Last, and “Dear Theodosia” from the Hamilton soundtrack written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and performed by Leslie Odom Jr and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
"Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole. This song represents the underlying theme of the fic. That even deep within his disease Eris still remembered his mate. The song was intended to tell the story of how love can surpass everything, even death, just as it does in this fic.
If you've made it this far down, thank you so much for taking the time to join me on this journey. It's truly been a labor of love and I'm so excited to finally be sharing it with you all.

THE BEST WRITTEN SONGS OF ALL-TIME
     Because I have zero innate musical ability, the idea that someone can sit down with a musical instrument, and create an original song out of thin air is magic to me. Songwriting is a craft, but it’s inspiration that makes a good song into a great one. There are songwriters who seem able to turn out high quality songs in perpetuity. There are others who write maybe one or two great songs, and are never heard from again. So, I made a list of what I think are the 50 best written songs I’ve ever heard. These are in no particular order. I’ve listed the title followed by the songwriter or songwriters, and in parentheses is the performer I most enjoy hearing do the song – although most of these songs have been recorded countless times by a variety of artists. You can probably find all of these on YouTube or any of the streaming services. Most have lyrics, but some do not. But, it’s hard for me to imagine any of these songs being recorded by anyone with talent, and not retaining the brilliance with which the song was written.
