Photos of Composers/other Musicians!

[Roslynmuse]

It doesn't quite match any of the available photos of Ivanovici:

But "one of the most famous waltzes ever"? Do we need to get our skates on and see a younger version of:

(the mouth area might be the same?)

Mmm, yes, see what you mean... I guess we'll have to wait for Pabs to come online.

If Ivanovici is correct then I'm guessing he was Rumanian - so is this one Enescu?

Hmm ... there is a similarity:

Not easy,unless you are a fan of neglected English composers.

William Hurlstone - a wonderful and woefully neglected composer. Only 2 weeks ago I played his superb bassoon sonata ( as piano accompanist of course).

It's not the same picture as on the back cover of the Emerson edition is it? I can't find that one on Google images. Agreed that it is a great piece, as are the four clarinet pieces, although they don't come up as frequently.

[EdgeleyRob]

This is a wonderful collection,I listened to it this evening.
Yes Tony,scandalously neglected.
Stanford said he was the most talented of his pupils.
That's quite something when you consider he taught Holst,Coleridge Taylor and RVW amongst others
Died so young,I wonder what he might have left us otherwise.

Blimey,struggling here

408 - on the right Josef Suk,who won a medal for compostion at the Olympics.
On the left,no idea
...

#408,I wonder if the guy on the left is Novak ?

Bravo! Suk won the silver medal in the Arts competition at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, for V nový život (Towards a New Life):

The Arts category was dropped after 1948. No gold was ever awarded.

As for the other chap, it is Novak.

[Pabmusic]

Well, lets deal with the fellow in the sombrero and droopy moustache. Romanian!! Yes, Ivanovici was Romanian and he certainly wrote one of the best-known waltzes. But so did this chap.

The waltz is Sobre las Olas (Over the Waves) and he does seem to have orchestrated it himself, too (not always to be guaranteed). His name was Juventino Rosas.

So think Mexican for 412.

Well, I don't think I've ever heard of Juventino Rosas, but the piece is very familiar. I like the blurb that talks about the 'esecution (sic) of the London Symphony Orchestra'!

if pabmusic is an expert on Mexicans, how about this



the photo on this page is supposed to show Vaughan Williams playing the viola, what do you think ?

Yes, 412 is Revueltas.

I have the same picture in a couple of books, one of which has photos selected by Ursula, so ... yes, it's RVW.

I think the new picture is Ponce (? perhaps).

Right. Concentrate on the group of three males toward the left.

'The three males', left to right:
1) possibly Herbert Howells
2) VW
2) Rutland Boughton?

Howells's hair parting has moved in your photo ! why are they standing in a field ?

So that we could have a picture of RVW, Howells and (?) standing in a field. Very English.



There's two composers here, too (though one was also a conductor).
