The Walter W. Naumburg Foundation

The Walter W. Naumburg Foundation

The Naumburg Foundation, throughout its 97-year history, has been dedicated to promoting extraordinary young artists. This channel will host musical offerings from many of our remarkable alumni and friends.

We launch this KZread channel on July 19th, 2020; 100 years to the day of Robert Mann’s birthday. In his honor, we will begin the channel with a focus on his musical achievements as a chamber musician, soloist, and composer. The collection presented today includes many never before heard live recorded performances from Bartok to Beethoven.

Robert Mann, born July 19th, 1920, won the Naumburg violin competition in 1941. He joined the board of the foundation in 1965 and became president in 1971. He remained president until 2018. The Walter W. Naumburg foundation is forever indebted to his leadership and inspirational vision.

As the current president and his son, I am pleased to introduce this celebration of his unique contribution to the musical world.

Nicholas Mann
President

    I own a fully restored Rudy Wiedoeft model tenor saxophone. It’s approximately 107 years old. I’d love to play one of his compositions for tenor, if there are any.

    Had Bobby Mann been a soloist all his life, rather than a great quartet player, this sonata performance likely would have lacked the masterful voicing that sets it apart-by light-years-from almost all other renditions on record. The “philosophy” of the string quartet, as conceived by Haydn and articulated by Goethe (“an aimiable conversation between four reasonable people”), is part of the late-eighteenth-century’s reaction to absolute monarchy, spearheaded by Kant, that helped give rise to the American and French revolutions. This music is not at all about a hierarchy, of soloist above and accompanist below, but about the illusion of an active dialogue between the piano’s right hand, its left hand and the violin that would have been impossible just a few years earlier using a harpsichord. The obvious exchange here is a real partnership-and it transforms the music into an transcendent experience. Bravo, to both Steve and Bobby!

    Often fiendish technical challenges are somehow swept away by his sense of sheer lyrical joy. This is real music making, at its finest.

    Mann’s approach to drama sometimes did conflict with the composer’s intention-consider the last movement of Bartók number four, in which the Juilliard ca. 1969 plays a wedding dance as though it were a war dance-but so what? That performance also signalled a new performance standard, playing a significant role in forming the present level of quartet technique worldwide. As for his Beethoven, the degree of abstraction in the Third Style Period, particularly evident in the Grosse Fuge, legitimately precluded a “normal” approach, precisely because the “normative” characteristics of string quartet playing hadn’t yet fully evolved in the 1820s. Arguably, the “normative” approach is the anachronistic one here, not Mann’s; this music was first played publicly in the early 1920s largely because it didn’t fit the prevailing performance style-that certainly wasn’t Beethoven’s fault.

    12:14 Суперский в исполнении каскад получился. Слушать очень приятно, в конце звук местами мне казалось что играет не сакс а скрипка)), мелодия временами напоминает музыку из советского мультфильма Маугли, зато теперь я стал немного знаком с таким композитором как Анри Томази.

    Amazing performance but his interpretation is a little questionable at times. (Why is his vibrato so fast????)

    Never a fan of this Concerto though it is a good competition piece. Performed beautifully to where you can tell what Tomasi was trying to do. Great job Valentin.

    This performance is AWESOME! Just as Camden's below comment, that Complete Bartok String Quartet recording is, for me, totally referential. Especially this third quartet, which was one of the first Bartók works I knew (Bartók is one of my favourites). I've heard through several quartets but Emerson's is absolutely powerful. Thanks, The Walter W. Namburg Foundation, for posting it! ❤❤

    While digging for records the other day I found this LP. I noticed it was rather heavy and inside, besides this album I also found an Audiodisc acetate 12" disc with hand written labels. On the labels it states "The Nightingale" Robert Mann - violin and music, Lucy Rowan - Narrator and what looks like Betty Olsen - piano. As soon as I get a chance I am going to compare what's on the acetate to this recording. Perhaps I have found an unreleased version?
