While written works of nineteenth and early twentieth century flute
virtuosos remain a foundation of modern flute study, and despite a
recent proliferation of historical recordings reissued on CD, much
less is known about their recorded legacy. The recordings, now more
accessible, allow increased awareness of these musicians, their
repertoire, and their performance styles. The availability of these
compact discs and their importance shows the need for a thorough
discography of the flute. The Flute on Record: The 78 rpm Era
serves as a comprehensive and practical guide to the wealth of
flute recordings made between 1889 and 1954. The discography lists
commercial, private, and unpublished recordings, on cylinders and
78 rpm discs, for over two hundred national and international
flutists. Recordings are logged in meticulous detail, including
dates and locations, matrix numbers, domestic and foreign catalog
numbers, and corresponding long-playing reissues. Solo works,
chamber music, and vocal and orchestral works that feature flute
passages are addressed in the citations, and in complete appendixes
of anonymous recordings. Details about broadcast transcriptions,
live performance transcriptions, and films are also included. Notes
and bibliographies offer background information on additional
recordings and repertory, and provide a link between modern study
and historical evidence. With a list of record labels and numerical
series, as well as indexes for composers and additional musicians,
this important resource is accessible to researchers, collectors,
and general users alike. The various components combine to create a
fuller understanding of the importance of these classic recordings.
