Recording the Classical Guitar

Recording the Classical Guitar charts the evolution of classical guitar recording practice from the early twentieth century to the present day encompassing the careers of many of the instrument’s most influential practitioners from acoustic era to the advent of the CD. A key focus is on the ways in which guitarists’ recorded repertoire programmes have shaped the identity of the instrument particularly where national allegiances and musical aesthetics are concerned. The book also considers the ways in which changing approaches to recording practice have conditioned guitarists’ conceptions of the instrument’s ideal representation in recorded form and situates these in relation to the development of classical music recording aesthetics more generally. An important addition to the growing body of literature in the field of phonomusicology the book will be of interest to guitarists and producers as well as students of record production and historians of classical music recording.

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Released in 1952 the Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist musicologist and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932 the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs ballads old and new dance music gospel and numerous other performances less easy to classify. Where previous collections of folk music both printed and recorded had privileged field recordings and oral transmission Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence however it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians artists and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—The Anthology was our bible asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991 We all knew every word of every song on it—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology. | Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music
