All of Stock’s\nsymphonic recordings will be featured in upcoming volumes (his four\nconcerto recordings have already been well-covered on CD reissues),\npresented for the most part in the order in which they were recorded.\nSeveral items here have not been available since the 78-rpm era (the “Ballabile” from Glazunov’s \u003cem\u003eLes ruses d’amour\u003c\/em\u003e, the Strauss\n\u003cem\u003eEmperor Waltz\u003c\/em\u003e and the Wagner \u003cem\u003eLohengrin\u003c\/em\u003e Prelude).\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nStock was born in Jülich, Germany, on 11 November 1872. His father, an\narmy bandmaster, provided his early musical training. He entered Cologne\nConservatory at the age of fourteen studying violin and composition; among\nhis teachers was Humperdinck, and Willem Mengelberg was a classmate. Upon\nhis graduation in 1890, he joined the Municipal Orchestra of Cologne as a\nviolinist. Five years later, he auditioned for the visiting Theodore\nThomas, who was recruiting players for his four-year-old Chicago Orchestra.\nThomas hired him initially as a violist, but within four years he\nrecognized Stock’s conducting talent and made him his assistant.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhen Thomas died suddenly in January, 1905, Stock served as interim music\ndirector while the orchestra board attempted to secure the services of such\nwell-known European conductors as Weingartner, Richter and Mottl. When the\nboard’s efforts failed, Stock was appointed for a trial year. He was to\nremain music director until his death thirty-seven years later (20 October\n1942), a record surpassed among major American orchestras only by Ormandy’s\ntenure with the Philadelphia, and by few other conductor\/orchestra\ncombinations throughout the world (Mengelberg\/Concertgebouw,\nMravinsky\/Leningrad).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nStock’s recording career divides neatly into three periods. His Columbia\nacoustics of 1916-17 were succeeded, after an eight-year hiatus, by a\nseries of electrical recordings for Victor (1925-30) which included Bach’s\nB Minor Suite, a Mozart 40th, Schumann’s “Spring” Symphony and\nTchaikovsky’s Fifth. After another nine-year absence from the microphone,\nStock and the Chicago Symphony rejoined Columbia for two seasons (1939-40\nand 1940-41) for an extensive string of recordings including a Mozart\n“Prague”, the Schubert 9th, the Schumann Fourth, Brahms’ Third and\n\u003cem\u003e\nTragic\n\u003c\/em\u003e\nOverture, Tchaikovsky’s \u003cem\u003eNutcracker\u003c\/em\u003e Suite, Strauss’\n\u003cem\u003e\nAlso Sprach Zarathustra\n\u003c\/em\u003e\nand numerous short “popular” works, as well as concerto recordings with\nMilstein and Piatigorsky. Returning to Victor for what turned out to be\nhis final full season with the orchestra (1941-42), he made two\nmuch-admired Beethoven concerto recordings with Schnabel, as well as\nDvořák’s \u003cem\u003eIn Nature’s Realm\u003c\/em\u003e and the Chausson Symphony.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn the works presented in this volume, Stock returned to some composers who\nfeatured again and again in his recordings – Glazunov, Goldmark, Johann\nStrauss II and Wagner – while adding two who were new to his discography,\nMozart and the conductor himself. Stock only recorded two Mozart works,\nthe G minor Symphony heard here and the “Prague” Symphony, which he\nrecorded for Columbia in 1939. His approach here is relatively\nstraightforward, in the tradition of the large modern orchestra\nperformances of the time, with just a few touches of string portamento to\nbetray his Romantic-era roots.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nLike many conductors of his generation, Stock also kept up an active\ncomposing life, producing symphonies, concertos and other types of\norchestral works, many of which he premièred with the Chicago Symphony.\nOnly one of these was recorded under his baton, his\n\u003cem\u003e\nSymphonic Waltz\n\u003c\/em\u003e\nof 1907, which looks back at the waltzes of Johann Strauss (whose\n\u003cem\u003e\nWine, Women and Song\n\u003c\/em\u003e\nis quoted in the work) even as it seems to look forward to the dense\norchestration and harmonies of Richard Strauss’ \u003cem\u003eDer Rosenkavalier\u003c\/em\u003e\nand the dreamlike diversions of Ravel’s \u003cem\u003eLa valse\u003c\/em\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe economic depression which hit the United States in October, 1929 led\nthe Victor label to severely curtail their program of Classical recording.\nThe works heard here were the last that Stock and the Chicago Symphony\nwould set down on disc for nine years. When they appeared once more before\nthe microphone, they were back with their original label, Columbia. But\nthat is a story for another volume . . .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFREDERICK STOCK\u003c\/b\u003e and The Chicago Symphony, Volume 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eGLAZUNOV \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eLes ruses d’amour, Op. 61\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
