[78-L] Harmonia Records

[David Lennick]

And Milanov appeared on Obie labels like Halo, backed with the old Marian 
Anderson Berlin recordings.

Harmonia also had some classical recordings, presumably from Polish sources..I 
had the "Halka" Overture on 12" when I was a kid, conducted by Grigor Fitelberg.

The only reference I could find to it in a factual sense was that it was mentioned in Billboard in 1943 and that must be around the time it started. No idea as to when it ended, or whether its vault was carried on by someone else. Does not seem to have survived 1950.Lots of releases on that label, mainly foreign selections and heavy with Polish music, and polkas. But Ruby Smith also sang for Harmonia, and there are novelty instrumentals and other more domestic type stuff. Anyone know something?Uncle Dave Lewisuncledavelewis at hotmail.com _______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
