Bartok was recorded by non-professsionals on old x-ray film - from radio broadcasts.

While listening to these extraordinary samples of Czech jazz recorded during WWII (in 1942.):

I found that they recorded on:

Neprofesionálne nahraná fólie Praha 1942

In translation, these are: "Instantaneous foils unprofessionally recorded, Prague 1942"

Probably they are gelatin foils, fragile and prone to ageing.

It is always pleasure to see how many recording surfaces (besides lacquer/acetate/nitrate celluloid) exists during those days.
