1923

For generations, Sidney Bechet's legacy of great jazz recordings has been reissued carefully, both casually and haphazardly. One of several chronological options, the 12-volume Masters of Jazz "Complete Edition" takes a most exactingly thorough approach, mapping Bechet's every appearance in the recording studio, week by week and session by session, regardless of who was initially designated as the primary artist. 1923, Vol. 1 in the series covers a four-month period from late July to early November 1923…

Culled from New York Philharmonic broadcasts spanning 75 years, this remarkable 10-disc compilation testifies to the strong-willed yet chameleon-like orchestra's virtuosity and versatility under a diverse assemblage of podium personalities. Stylistically speaking, the earlier items are the most interesting, revealing, for instance, a more vibrant Otto Klemperer and freer Arturo Toscanini than their later commercial efforts sometimes suggest. Other artists are heard in repertoire which they otherwise didn't record: Fritz Reiner's Brahms 2nd, Leonard Bernstein's Berg and Webern, and a wrenching concert version of Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle under Kubelík's direction, to name but a few. From program notes to transfer quality, not one stone is left unturned to ensure first-rate results.

Dès 1923, nombre de dirigeants et de militants bolcheviques qui avaient dirigé la Révolution d'Octobre s'opposèrent au stalinisme et à la caste des bureaucrates, formant l'opposition de gauche. Les compagnons de Lénine et de Trotsky combattirent la dégénérescence bureaucratique, négation du bolchevisme, jusqu'à leur massacre par Staline en 1938. C'est leur combat, celui de communistes défendant les intérêts de la classe ouvrière et de la révolution mondiale. …

The musical year 1923 is a cosmos of impressive complexity. In Vienna, Arnold Schönberg completes his first twelve-tone works; in cosmopolitan Paris, musical neoclassicism is celebrated; throughout Europe, composers are enthusiastic about American fashion dances; and in Berlin, at the height of the political and economic crisis, the age of German radio begins with the first radio hour broadcast.
