As far as I know, the Tylsars have recorded many concerts with Naxos, but "sold" the recording rights as usual. So they will receive nothing for music on hold or other use of it. Unless you are a very famous artist, selling thousands of copies, you will never get a "share" contract with the recording company. If we record something for EMI or other big companies, we receive our honorary & a bonus of 26% of the honorary one year later. That�s it. Basta. Finito.
Vienna Phil have better contracts (as an organisation), but they are best sellers & always at the top. BTW, I once heard a prominent vibrato horn player from Czech Rep. playing Mozart no.4 in a picture titles "The wild adventures of Giovanni Casanova", a picture of the genre .... you know ... playing three weeks at another theatre .. Wagner Tuba quartet .. great fun ... some wine ... weather is bad .. let�s go to the movie .. what men go to watch ? .. Just normal ! You watch it once, you know all consecutive parts ... But at least, this one had a story behind & some good (camera) shots. Some twentyfive years ago .... ========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Twigge Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 7:51 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Mozart on hold I would have guessed it to have been one of Tylsar brothers (Czechs) - you'll often come across them playing the Rossetti double as well in Music on Hold CDs. I work with Avaya (Lucent) switches in huge virtual networks and you mostly only get relatively "cheap" purpose recorded discs for Music on Hold systems as you run into huge difficulties with performing rights, and lets face the Eastern Europeans still need hard currency. Unless you buy into a subscription service were you're more likely to get contemporary "hits" - very trendy for companies wanting to push a certain image. I think Mozart is often used as it's thought to be more calming - let's face after being placed on hold for so long an agent needs every advantage in keeping a caller calm! There was a study by a psychologist from Wales show that Mozart has a hugely positive effect on learning environments whether only part of the score is played or played backwards even! Vivaldi is the worst for Music on Hold - callers always complain as it's full of so many high partials which sound awful down a receiver and I guess leave them feeling tense?
