Anyone know the recordings dates for....

Hi, Group - Anyone know the recordings dates for....

Antheil - Symphony #4 - Goosens/LSO - originally on Everest.

my recording is a BayCities CD with no date shown.

The Everest Antheil #4 originally appeared with Ginastera 'Estancia' Suite also Goosens/LSO - this dates from 10/58

Am I correct that the Antheil originates from close to this time as well??

also - on the BayCities disc - with no dates given:

Gould - Spirituals for Orchestra - Susskind/LSO and

Gould - Formations - Gould/Knightsbridge Symphonic Band

does anyone have these recording dates??

Thanks,

January 1959?

That would be the one, i believe. thanx, VE

I'm afraid I don't know about 'Formations' as I have never heard the work but Spirituals for Orchestra was recorded in London in November 1958. Mr Susskind was a much respected conductor whom I played for several times (including two excellent Schumann symphony cycles). Both Mr Susskind and Mr Gould were born in 1913...Mr Susskind in Prague and Mr Gould in New York.

I am always grateful to Mr Gould for Pavane (my rare opportunity for 'brushes' in a symphony orchestra) and for his wonderful interpretation of Rimsky's 'Antar' which (with a limited record collection) remains for me a very great performance.

Really? All the music from every film he scored? There were dozens and dozens, and it seems hard to believe that these have all been reconstructed and recorded...let alone the notion of recording the complete scores of Max Steiner (hundreds and hundreds!).

If I recall correctly, these were recorded either with the National Philharmonic or the Royal Philhamonic, in London, not 'his' NYC based orchestra.

could have been lying To my shame I did not even know Citizen Kane nor have I seen the film. The only work of Steiner I know is 'Gone with the Wind' and so you may be right in suggesting that these are selections rather than the complete thing.

I ought to say that the recording was more or less a complete shambles. The parts were mostly handwritten and nearly illegible (nothing new there). My understanding was that the recordings were financed by an American. There was an 'Egyptian' something and also something called 'A Hatful of Rain' (????)

I understand that the promoters have also founded something called the National Film Orchestra of Russia (or something similar).
