Axel Ruoff has been a professor at the University of Music and the Performing Arts Stuttgart since 1992. His composition “Belschazzar” from 2004 – “a dance ritual for organ and orchestra” – was premiered in Stuttgart in 2008. The feast of Belschazzar is a Bible story that hearkens back to the Babylonian regents. A threatening, mysterious “writing on the wall” appeared to the renegade sovereign rebelling against God, and presaged the decline of Babylon. Axel Ruoff depicts the scenes – the adoration of the “gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone” – as an orgiastic dance ritual. The organ plays a solo role acting as a second orchestra.

Inspired by the project “Chasing Dr. Joachim” (Reenactment of Joseph Joachim's 1903 “Romance C major” recording): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19_bwbDZAhU
*********
Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962), certainly one of the most influential violinists of the 20th century, produced a number of small “coffeehouse pieces” early in his recording career (1904–1914). From a today’s point of performance aesthetics they seem nothing less than astounding: For instance the overly present usage of continuous vibrato, ‚sharp‘ articulation, a high flexibility in tempo (“compensating rubato”, Sarah Martin), and – perhaps most strikingly – extensively and broadly performed portamenti. This particularly is the case when it comes to Kreisler’s second “Liebesleid” production, recorded on November 6th, 1911 in the London studios of the Gramophone Company (“His Master’s Voice”), which apparently reached enormous popularity and got re-pressed up to the early 1930s.
However, there are to remark serious concerns about directly deducing Kreisler’s actual performance practice from the 1911 record: As the DFG-founded project “Technologies of Singing” (ToS, 2016–2019, https://www.hfm-detmold.de/en/portrait/research/projects/technologies-of-singing-dfg/) proved, recorded sounds of the mechanical age (1877–1925) got modified remarkably by their recording and reproduction devices. In other words: When listening to the gramophone we do not really listen to Kreisler himself but to a partly independent artefact of historical sound technology. We cannot be sure how present his vibrato, portamento, articulation actually was and what might have been lost in the recording process (e. g. dynamic ranges, noisiness, balance). Nevertheless, the ToS project made it possible to let every (modern) record sound like a genuine record from the acousto-mechanical age by creating empirically grounded impulse responses of historical recording and reproduction devices, for the first time retracing both the recording and reproduction chains.
Building on that, the “Liebesleid 1911 / 2019” study tried to reconstruct Kreisler’s real studio sound by means of an approximation method in reenacting his original 1911 record. It aimed (1) to trace Kreisler’s performance practice (e.g. possible correlations between portamento and vibrato use), (2) to reproduce Kreisler’s mysterious "golden tone” (as frequently described by contemporary critics) in a concert hall setting, and (3) to gain some general insight in the sound modification of western string instruments by recording processes of the mechanical age (1877–1925), which in turn might have affected the performance practice itself (cf. Mark Katz, 2010).
As part of the reenactment the (traceable) original conditions were sought to be reconstructed as closely as possible: First, the original Kreisler interpretation (which in parts diverges considerably from the composer’s 1910 first edition) got analysed and noted based on the record. This score includes originally non-noted, expressive means (like portamento, vibrato, tempo changes) and was closely studied by Violinists Johannes Brzoska. In the studio, Brzoska deployed sheep gut strings on a violin model similar to Kreisler’s Guarneri “del Gesù” as well as an historical “Tourte” bow by Hill with high tension, comparable to Kreisler’s assumed equipment for the 1911 recording. Likewise, the piano was tuned to a pitch of a4=435 Hz identical to the one in the London studio. Eventually, 17 historical gramophones with different soundboxes and horns were acoustically measured while playing Kreisler’s 1911 record in order to create genuine reproduction chain impulse responses (Boris-Alexander Bolles, Detmold). The remaining sound differences between the 1911 original and the 2019 reenactment are most likely due to ambiguities regarding Kreisler’s violin and performance practice as well as the unknown original recording studio acoustics.
The project findings will be published in early 2021. Further information under

"Born in Midland, Michigan, American soprano Cheryl Studer studied piano and viola and at the age of 12 began voice lessons. She graduated from the University of Music and Acting in Vienna, where she studied with Hans Hotter.
Her career took off in 1979 when Seiji Ozawa offered her a series of concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Since then, she has appeared regularly in leading opera houses (La Scala, Covent Garden, Metropolitan Opera New York, Vienna State Opera, Grand Opera of Paris), as well as with the most prestigious festivals such as Salzburg, Bayreuth, Pesaro and Munich. She has also appeared as a soloist with the Philharmonic Orchestras of Vienna, Berlin, Tokyo, London, Philadelphia, Academia of Santa Cecilia and others.
Her first appearance at Carnegie Hall was a recital in 1994, where she returned two years later with the Dresden Staatskapelle under the baton of Giuseppe Sinopoli performing Strauss' "Four Last Songs"
Her vast repertoire has included the roles of Aida and Arabella, performed at Covent Garden, Marshallin and Chrysothemis at the Salzburg Festival; Senta, Elisabeth, Elsa and Sieglinde for nine seasons of the Bayreuth Festival. Her US debut was at the Chicago Lyric Opera as Micaela in Carmen next to Placido Domingo in 1984. Her triumph as the Marshallin with the Vienna State Opera was followed by Ariadne auf Naxos (Japan tour), Der Rosenkavalier (Metropolitan), Frau ohne Schatten and Die Walküre in Vienna and Dresden, where she also performed Der Fliegende Holländer and Der Rosenkavalier, Tannhäuser in Hamburg, Munich and Rio de Janeiro, Elena (I Vespri Siciliani), Matilde (Guglielmo Tell), Odabella (Attila), all at Teatro alla Scala under Riccardo Muti. Mozart roles have included Donna Anna, Contessa, and Elettra (Idomeneo). She received rave reviews in Zurich when she sang Arabella in 2000.
Cheryl Studer has been honoured with many international prizes, including the Franz Schubert Institute Prize for her excellence in Lied performance, the High Fidelity Musical America Prize, the Grand Prix du Disque, the 1989 Maria Callas Prize for her superb performance as Sieglinde in Die Walküre (EMI) and as Empress in Frau ohne Schatten, and in 1992 the Edison Prize for her recording of Salome (Deutsche Grammophon). In the same year, she was awarded the International Classical Music Award as the best singer of the year (the first artist to receive this prize) followed by the Wilhelm Furtwängler Prize in 1994. She has most recently been awarded the ‘Terras sem Sombre’ (2011) and the Ovation Award (2012) for her life's work in the arts. In addition to numerous nominations, she has won two Grammy Awards.
Cheryl Studer has been a fulltime Professor at the University of Music in Würzburg, Germany since 2003, where she teaches voice, stage craft, Opera Ensemble and audition training. She has staged productions of Ariadne auf Naxos and Il barbiere di Siviglia. She also gives Master Classes internationally ( Beijing, Seoul, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Los Angeles, Marseille, Athens ) and is often jury member for international voice competitions, including the Maria Callas Grand Prix in Athens and the Mt. Fuji International Opera Competition of Shizuoka.
Since 2011, Cheryl Studer has performed mezzo-soprano roles such as Gertrud in Haensel & Gretel and Adelaide (Arabella) at the Hamburg State Opera, Nettie Fowler (Carousel) at Theater Basel, Mamma Lucia (Cavalleria Rusticana) at Opera Graz, with Live-Recording, and the Aufseherin in the famed Chereau-production of Elektra under Barenboim at the State Opera of Berlin. In 2021, she sang the role of Tertullia in "Die Verurteilung des Lukullus" at the State Theater of Stuttgart to great acclaim. She most recently performed the role of Mamma Lucia at the Autumn Festival Baden-Baden under Thomas Hengelbrock. Future engagements include performances at the State Opera of Berlin in 2023."; operabase
