[78-L] Question

[David Lennick]

Right..Claude Arnold didn't bother with band recordings all that much in "The 
Orchestra on Record". He definitely accumulated them as part of his research, 
since I fell heir to a lot of his discards, but he seems rarely to have listed 
them unless they had a historical importance. We noticed this when looking for 
Litolff's "Robespierre Overture" the other week. Of 3 or 4 band recordings, 
maybe only 1 was in Claude's book.

Now over to Phil Carli who will probably come up with 37 band versions on 
acoustical releases alone.
