Archiv Produktion

The archive of the history of music production studios Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft was founded in 1949 music history institute and studio Deutsche Grammophon with the aim to play early music in accordance with the latest research and publish in a record series. It was created on a proposal Domizlaffs Hans, who was ' working as a consultant Ernst von Siemens after the Second World War. The first director was Fred Hamel. The archive Production went to a flower in the 1950s and 1960s in various inscrutable projects that are no longer designated as the research fields so that its endpoint pending can not be accurately identified.

Today the archive production exists as a label within the catalog of Deutsche Grammophon on.

Concept

Initial idea of the archive production was the situation of the devastation after the Second World War in Germany. The now remaining organs and other historical musical instruments should be documented in their sound. So first recordings of organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Helmut Walcha grossed at the organ of St. Jacob's Church in Lübeck originated in 1947 as a first publications. The declared goal of archive production was beyond the performance and media dissemination of music history reclaimed collections of historical scores, which were transferred into modern notation in the previous years; they did so " by the tonal realization " harness (see below). Acting on a proposal Hans Domizlaffs Ernst taught by Siemens, a music history studio Deutsche Grammophon one. Domizlaff designed its logo. , the performance and recording of the pieces was made as far as possible with the original score and original instruments, but at least with appropriate replicas. they appeared in a record series, which was divided into twelve so-called " research areas ". research areas ranging from the time of the creation of Gregorian chant to the 18th century. This classification had Domizlaff in 1949 with Hamel jointly developed. the series created a substantiated with examples historical and regional division of the old music. together with the equipment of this record series it was a pleasure and education project that can be understood in retrospect as a work of art.

Equipment

The records appeared initially as shellac, and later years in heavy vinyl and a non-image, clearly designed with signature folded cover, which was sutured to the edges and not glued and one ( even after 50 years of non-yellowing and brittle expectant ) plastic film to protect the LP. The only function of the addition, continuous element was the logo. On the cover of the epoch classification of the research area and the names of the songs were named in a larger type. The explanatory texts were in German, French and English, there were in each double DIN -A -5 index cards with all the data, if any, sets, orchestra, instruments with their origin and instrument builder, eventually recording date.
