[78-L] ALCO DISC label

[Han Enderman]

Alec Compinsky helped Dial recording Parker-Gillespie. See google-books:

Googling gave following review referring to Alco:

The Compinsky Trio: Manuel Compinsky (violin), Alec Compinsky (cello), Sara Compinsky (piano).
Cambria CD-1130. ADD mono. TT 54:59.
Recorded 1945[a]/1946[b].
Reissue of world premiere recordings.

The Compinsky Trio are not often mentioned these days, undeserved neglect that is admirably redressed by this Cambria release. Noëlle Compinsky Tinturin, daughter of Manuel Compinsky, provides extensive and affectionate descriptions of the background and activities of this enterprising ensemble. Born in England of Lithuanian émigré parents in the opening decade of the last century, the siblings moved to the United States while still in their young twenties. Notable for their eclectic and adventuresome repertoire, the Compinskys included an entrepreneur among them in the person of cellist Alec, who formed the Alco Recording Company in 1945. One of the label's first projects was this, the world premiere recording of Shostakovich's Second Trio, predating even the composer's own 1946 collaboration with Dmitri Tsyganov and Sergei Shirinsky (Doremi DHR-7787)

>>> Alco I believe was short for ALec COmpinsky or various Compinsky siblings. They did some interesting chamber music recordings, at least one film score, reissues of the Schoenberg Quartets played by the Kolisch Quartet, the Hebrew Dances that appeared simultaneously (I think) on Vox, Dello Joio's "New York Profiles" on LP and other interesting repertoire. No idea if it had a connection with the Alco Disc label originally mentioned in this thread.
