MARY HOWARD H1222/H1223/H1224               2-12"  78rpm

[from Bibliotheque National Francais]

  Bach: Italian Concerto.  Edith

Weiss-Mann, harpsichord. (Mary

Howard Recordings, two twelve-

inch records).  This Bach score is

usually heard in piano perform-

ances.  Ify you wish to hear it on 

the  instrument for which it was

written, Miss Weiss-Mann has pro-

vided a skillful and comprehending

performance.  Of course, the harp-

sichord she uses is not of Bach's

time, but it is a fair enough copy

to convey the spirit of the time.

The Complete Recordings of Charles Ives at the Piano, 1933-1943

University of Illinois Press:

Vivian Perlis: Charles Ives Remembered An Oral History

  MARY SHIPMAN HOWARD had a recording studio for many years in

New York, known as Mary Howard Recordings, where she recorded Charles

Ives and many of the great composter, conductors, and musical lights of

the day.  Those recordings which she made in 1953 of Ives playing the

piano and occasionally singing, were known only to the Ives family and a

few others close to the Ives scene. After two years of searching for Mary

Howard, she was finally discovered close by, alive and well.  As a result of

an interview with her in Washington, Connecticut, on September 24, 1969

no only the master discs of these recordings were found in her collection,

but also a previously unknown recording of THE ACOTTS (third movement)

from the Concord, played by Ives.  These recordings are scheduled for

release by CBS Records in spring 1974.
