This unique discography of 78 RPM recordings extensively profiles
solo and group horn performers, including chamber ensemble and
orchestra recordings. This work provides, in addition to detailed
data about individual recordings, invaluable commentary on actual
selected 78 RPM recordings. Some of the recordings are no longer
available in reissue and are therefore not easily accessible to the
general public. Biographical information contributes to the wealth
of researched information this discography provides. This
discography of 78 RPM horn recordings fills a gap in bibliographic
literature concerning horn recordings. A valuable reference to
hornists, musicians, and discographers, the exhaustive, descriptive
detail consists of data collected from numerous sources. Both
well-known and obscure artists are researched.

Dynasty; The Classic Age of Jade Carving from Han to Sung; From
