Rudolf Schwarz and the monumental order of things
The product of a continuous European architectural and intellectual practice that bridged the Second World War, the work of Rudolf Schwarz (1897-1961) allows a deeper understanding of post-war German architecture. This book examines nine of his religious and secular buildings sited in the Rhineland, which are presented through new survey drawings and photographs. These are accompanied by Schwarz's project descriptions and his lecture 'Architecture of Our Times' from 1958, which contextualizes his approach. Essays by Wolfgang Pehnt and an interview with Schwarz's wife, the architect Maria Schwarz, provide further insight into this complex oeuvre.

The Need for Sacred Emptiness: Implementing Insights by Paul Tillich and Rudolf Schwarz in Church Architecture Today
In a time when the minimalist emptiness of many contemporary church buildings rightly encounters criticism for its incapacity to create a sacred atmosphere, it is good to plead again for sacred emptiness as a religious symbol in its own right. Because this term concerns the apophatic dimension of religion and the importance of mystery and transcendence in daily life, it is not just an important question for architects but for anybody who considers the meaning of religion today. This article recovers first the insights of two thinkers of the twentieth century who pleaded for sacred emptiness, the Protestant theologian Paul Tillich and the Roman Catholic architect Rudolf Schwarz, before examining the fruitfulness of sacred emptiness for church architecture today. The conclusions of this research will be that their approaches are complementary and that their plea for sacred emptiness has gained importance today but must be answered in a new way. Some contemporary case studies of sacred space by renowned architects demonstrate the importance of sacred emptiness. At first, it is still anonymous, but gradually, through the mystagogical interaction with visitors and users, sacred emptiness gains more definite meaning.

Classical: On the Air
[Malcolm Sargent] was certainly no gentleman. His successor, Rudolf Schwarz, was. He spent the later years of the Second World War in Nazi labour camps, ending up in Belsen, more dead than alive. Years later, when Richard Strauss was accused of having condoned the Nazi regime, Schwarz defended him, pointing out that Strauss was an old man by the time Hitler came to power, and that it is never easy for anyone to emigrate. The oboist Janet Craxton called Schwarz her ideal conductor, because he was only interested in the truth about music. Other musicians said he was too decent to get to the top of a cut- throat profession. And he barely did. Before his contract ran out in 1962, he was demoted, in effect, from chief conductor to one of several, because, for once, audiences and critics seemed to agree: Schwarz was unexciting.

British Violin & Cello Concertos
[Gregor Piatigorsky], Charles Munch, and the Boston Symphony performed the world premiere of [William Walton]'s Cello Concerto on January 25, 1957. Three days later they recorded it for RCA. Recorded here a month later is the broadcast of the European premiere with Piatigorsky, [Malcolm Sargent], and the BBC Symphony, and it is excruciating. It sounds like a cautious rehearsal without prior consul- tation between soloist and conductor.

Visiting Germans say hardships just beginning with reunification
\"West Germany's economy was built for West Germany and now suddenly from one day to the other we have to produce for East Germany,\" [Rudolf Schwarz] said. He said that literally thousands of people enter the country each week and that number is not declining. \"It will be a little struggle as East Germans learn how to live with the capitalism system,\" Schwarz said, sharing that \"East Germany is paying for the reunification\" as the West German economy \"is booming.\" PHOTO; West German students visiting Illinois State University say the emotion in seeing the Germanys reunite is overwhelming, even though they know troubles lie ahead.

ELGAR: Cello Concerto; DVORAK: Cello Concerto
The Elgar (recorded 1957) is a lush, warm performance, with Barbirolli framing the soloist with superb orchestral support and partnership. Tempos are mainstream, giving [Andre Navarra]'s warm playing plenty of room to shine. The Dvorak (1954) is a splendid performance, lacking only a little more vitality in the finale to be among the greatest. Here also the sound is clean, warm, and highly listenable.
