Walter Damrosch: Prelude to Act II of "The Man Without a Country"
Walter Damrosch (1862-1950): Prelude to Act II of "Man Without a Country" (1937)
Mostly forgotten as a composer, famous American conductor, music critic, musicologist, and American music promoter Walter Damrosch did write a number of operas (many performed on the stage of the Met during the early part of the 20th Century.) One of his last operas was "Man Without a Country" based upon the story by Edward Everett Hale. This was one of the few American operas to be performed more than once on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. Live recordings of performances in the 1930's were rudimentary, and as is often the case, the sound of some circulating private recordings has been purposefully degraded by greedy collectors wanting to keep the best copy for themselves. However thin in quality one f...

Walter Damrosch conductes the New York Symphony Orchestra in Brahms' Symphony No. 2, recorded in New York on 4, 5 and 6 January 1928.
From Wikipedia: Walter Johannes Damrosch (January 30, 1862 – December 22, 1950) was a German-born American conductor and composer...
Damrosch was born in Breslau, Silesia, a son of Helene von Heimburg, a former opera singer, and the conductor Leopold Damrosch... His parents were Lutheran (his paternal grandfather was Jewish).
He exhibited an interest in music at an early age and was instructed by his father in harmony and also studied under Wilhelm Albert Rischbieter and Felix Draeseke at the Dresden Conservatory. He emigrated with his parents in 1871 to the United States.
During the great music festival given by his father in May 1881, he first acted as conductor in drilling several sections of the large chorus, one in New York City, and another in Newark, New Jersey. The latter, consisting chiefly of members of the Harmonic Society, elected him to be their conductor...He was then only 19 years of age, but showed marked ability in drilling large masses.
In 1884, when his father initiated a run of all-German opera at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Walter was made an assistant conductor. After his father's death in 1885, he held the same post under Anton Seidl and also became conductor of the Oratorio and Symphony Societies in New York.
On May 17, 1890, he married Margaret Blaine (1867–1949), the daughter of American politician and presidential candidate James G. Blaine...
Damrosch was best known in his day as a conductor of the music of Richard Wagner, and In 1894 he founded the Damrosch Opera Company for producing Wagner's works. He was also a pioneer in the performance of music on the radio, and as such became one of the chief popularizers of classical music in the United States...At the request of General Pershing he reorganized the bands of the A.E.F. in 1918...
Although now remembered almost exclusively as a conductor, before his radio broadcasts Damrosch was equally well known as a composer... Damrosch was the National Broadcasting Company's music director under David Sarnoff, and from 1928 to 1942, he hosted the network's Music Appreciation Hour, a popular series of radio lectures on classic music aimed at students...
Although Damrosch took an interest in music technologies, he recorded sporadically. His first recording, the prelude to Bizet's Carmen, appeared in 1903... He recorded very few extended works, and those were near the end of his most active time as a conductor; the only symphony he recorded was Brahms's Second followed by Maurice Ravel's Ma Mère l'Oye Suite with the New York Symphony for Columbia shortly before the orchestra merged with the New York Philharmonic...

Walter Damrosch (1862-1950): Prelude to Act II of "Man Without a Country" (1937)
Mostly forgotten as a composer, famous American conductor, music critic, musicologist, and American music promoter Walter Damrosch did write a number of operas (many performed on the stage of the Met during the early part of the 20th Century.) One of his last operas was "Man Without a Country" based upon the story by Edward Everett Hale. This was one of the few American operas to be performed more than once on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. Live recordings of performances in the 1930's were rudimentary, and as is often the case, the sound of some circulating private recordings has been purposefully degraded by greedy collectors wanting to keep the best copy for themselves. However thin in quality one finds this recording to be by modern standards, it is an extreme rarity insofar as none of Damrosch's major works have ever been commercially recorded. To the best of my knowledge, this 1937 Met broadcast excerpt is the first work composed by Damrosch to make it to You Tube, and one can overlook sound quality for historical significance. It is a delightful piece, worthy of a stand-alone recognition. Maybe someone will release the work - or even the whole opera - on CD in the future!
Note: The original recording of the complete opera from which this excerpt is taken is also on this channel.

Sorry that the sound quality is so thin, but 1937 technology and the infancy of the art of microphone placement may have much to do with this. The historical value of this recording is sufficient for its inclusion here on You Tube.

Walter Johannes Damrosch, 1862 -- 1950) was a German-born American conductor and composer. He is best remembered today as long-time director of the New York Symphony Orchestra and for conducting the world premiere performances of George Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F (1925), and
An American in Paris (1928).
Damrosch was born in Breslau, Silesia, a son of Helene von Heimburg, a former opera singer, and the conductor Leopold Damrosch. His parents were Lutheran (his paternal grandfather was Jewish). He exhibited an interest in music at an early age and was instructed by his father in harmony and also studied under Wilhelm Albert Rischbieter and Felix Draeseke at the Dresden Conservatory. He emigrated with his parents in 1871 to the United States.
During the great music festival given by his father in May 1881, he first acted as conductor in drilling several sections of the large chorus, one in New York City, and another in Newark, New Jersey. The latter, consisting chiefly of members of the Harmonic Society, elected him to be their conductor.
In 1884, when his father initiated a run of all-German opera at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Walter was made an assistant conductor. After his father's death in 1885, he held the same post under Anton Seidl and also became conductor of the Oratorio and Symphony Societies in New York.
Damrosch was a pioneer in the performance of music on the radio, and as such became one of the chief popularizers of classical music in the United States.
One of his principal achievements was the successful performance of Parsifal for the first time in the US, in 1886, by the Oratorio and Symphony societies. During his visit to Europe in the summer of 1886, he was invited by the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Verein, of which Franz Liszt was president, to conduct some of his father's compositions at Sondershausen.
Although now remembered almost exclusively as a conductor, before his radio broadcasts Damrosch was equally well known as a composer. He composed operas based on stories such as The Scarlet Letter (1896), Cyrano (1913), and The Man Without a Country (1937). He also composed songs such as the intensely dramatic Danny Deever.
Damrosch was the National Broadcasting Company's music director under David Sarnoff, and from 1928 to 1942, he hosted the network's Music Appreciation Hour, a popular series of radio lectures on classical music aimed at students. (The show was broadcast during school hours, and teachers were provided with textbooks and worksheets by the network.) According to former New York Times critic Harold C. Schonberg in his collection Facing the Music, Damrosch was notorious for making up silly lyrics for the music he discussed in order to "help" young people appreciate it, rather than letting the music speak for itself . An example: for the first movement of Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, the lyric went
This is the symphony,
That Schubert wrote and never finished.
Although Damrosch took an interest in music technologies, he recorded sporadically. His first recording, the prelude to Bizet's Carmen, appeared in 1903 (on Columbia, with a contingent of the New York Symphony credited as the "Damrosch Orchestra"). He recorded very few extended works; the only symphony he recorded was Brahms's Second with the New York Symphony shortly before the orchestra merged with the New York Philharmonic.
