The Philadelphia Orchestra is the most-recorded orchestra in the
United States, and its recordings have contributed much to its
reputation as "The World's Greatest Orchestra." In The Philadelphia
Orchestra: An Annotated Discography, Richard A. Kaplan documents
more than 2,000 commercial recordings made by the Philadelphia
Orchestra over almost a century. The discography contains a
chronological list of recordings, detailing works performed,
conductors, soloists, dates, venues, producers, and matrix
information for 78-rpm recordings. Each entry lists all issues of
the recordings, including 78- and 45-rpm discs, long-playing
records, and compact discs. The discography documents for the first
time the recordings made by Columbia on sixteen-inch lacquer discs
during the 1940s and '50s. Opening with an overview of the
Orchestra's relationships with recording companies and the search
for suitable recording venues, chapters cover anonymously and
pseudonymously-published recordings, including those of the Robin
Hood Dell Orchestra of Philadelphia, the experimental 1931-32 Bell
Labs recordings, videos and movies in which the Philadelphia
Orchestra performed, live recordings, and recordings of ensembles
of the Philadelphia Orchestra. A separate chapter lists
live-concert downloads made available directly through the
Philadelphia Orchestra Association. Appendixes cross-reference the
recordings by composer, conductor, and soloists; a final appendix
lists the many Philadelphia Orchestra LP collections published by
Columbia and RCA. This book is a valuable resource for collectors,
scholars, and anyone interested in recording history and the
history of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
