In the history of sound recording, the years from 1896 to 1926 mark
the transformation of a carnival toy into a serious means of
musical reproduction. This work documents for the first time an
index of this transformation: the expansion of the repertoire from
the marches and potpourris of the 1890s to the symphonic recordings
of the late acoustical period. The data assembled bring together
and organize materials that have lain scattered in archives,
private collections, catalogues, trade journals, and in the
research of more than three dozen discographers to provide as
complete a survey of classical and light classical orchestral music
recorded acoustically on cylinders and discs as sources allow. In
this work, band records are excluded (except in the case of works
originally written for winds). Where it is known and where it is
pertinent to the recordings, biographical information about
conductors and historical information about orchestras are added,
as are all available discographic data, including reissues. The
work is fully indexed. Of interest to historians and students,
private collectors, archivists, and discographers.
