keebrev 21st Jun 2017		Classical Item RIAS Kammerchor, Berliner Motettenchor, RIAS Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Ferenc Fricsay - Mozart: Die Zauberflöte, Querschnitt (1955)	Excerpts from this opera.
keebrev 20th May 2017		Classical Item Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra Of New York - "Lohengrin"---Prelude To Act 1 (1936)	Thanks MM!
keebrev 19th May 2017		Classical Item Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra Of New York - "Lohengrin"---Prelude To Act 1 (1936)	Is this a HMV "Angel Series" record, because of the scribing angel down in the label?
keebrev 19th May 2017		Classical Item Robert Merrill, Jan Peerce - La Traviata	I added this record as a single "78rpm record", but it belongs to the "78rpm Album" if more discs of this recording appears, I guess. It's (of course) a 12" record.
keebrev 18th May 2017		Classical Item Renata Tebaldi - Madame Butterfly (1960)	Recorded on 6 - 9 July 1958, Rome. The complete opera is issued on LXT.5468 - 70 (mono) and on SXL.2054 - 56 (stereo) in December 1958.
keebrev 18th May 2017		Classical Item Renata Tebaldi - Madame Butterfly (1960)	Recorded on 6 - 9 July 1958, Rome. The complete opera is issued on LXT.5468 - 70 (mono) and on SXL.2054 - 56 (stereo) in December 1958.
keebrev 18th May 2017		Classical Item Renata Tebaldi - La Bohème (1960)	Recorded on 1 - 9 Augustus 1959, Rome. The complete opera is issued on LXT.5542 - 43 (mono) and on SXL.2170 - 71 (stereo) in November 1959
keebrev 18th May 2017		Classical Item David Hughes With The City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra - David Hughes Sings Favourite Opera & Operetta Arias (1970)	I would say it's label is Columbia, and the recording is in Studio 2 Stereo, similar to the Decca Phase 4 Stereo records, so it may be Columbia Studio 2 Stereo
keebrev 4th May 2017		Classical Item Wiener Symphoniker, Karl Böhm - Chöre Und Arien Aus "Die Jahreszeiten" (1967)	The complete oratorio is issued on three records as 139 254 / 256 SLPM.
keebrev 29th Apr 2017		Classical Item Vladimir Ashkenazy, London Symphony Orchestra - Piano Concerto No. 1 In B Flat Minor, Op. 23 (1963)	Yes, indeed. Correction already submitted.
keebrev 29th Apr 2017		Classical Item Vladimir Ashkenazy, London Symphony Orchestra - Piano Concerto No. 1 In B Flat Minor, Op. 23 (1963)	Also released as Decca LXT6058 (mono) and as SXL6058 (stereo)
keebrev 31st Mar 2017		Classical Item Clara Haskil, The Residency-Orchestra (The Hague), Willem Van Otterloo - Schumann: Piano Concerto In A Minor, Op. 54	The date according to this site is 1951 for the recording. It's also released in a 25cm (10") size as A 00134 R. The cover's code is GF 00.020.
keebrev 28th Mar 2017		Classical Item Aafje Heynis - "Klassiek Verzoek Programma" (1960)	Dank sei dir, Herr: [YouTube Video] Bist du bei mir: [YouTube Video] Aafje Heynis, alt Pierre Palla, orgel
keebrev 14th Mar 2017		Classical Item Andrés Segovia - Madronos, Homenaje Pour Le Tombeau De Debussy, Sonate	Made in Germany in the dead wax. The date code is B 7, and between the B and the 7 is in a lower groove a fallen back letter L. So I presume it's date is Februari 1957. Phil, here we have twelve months in a year, so 1160 is November 1960 ;). Is it possible to use this date as a release date?
keebrev 6th Mar 2017		Classical Item King's College Choir, Cambridge - The Glory Of King's	Britten's Missa Brevis: [YouTube Video] Curious is the cat# of the records. You might expect a SLS 5047 number or at least 0C 179-52394, xx95 and xx96 instead of BOX 504xxx. I've never seen it before.
keebrev 22nd Feb 2017		Classical Item The Vienna Octet - Clarinet Quintet, Adagio For Clarinet And String Quartet (1970)	Thanks for the correction, Phil!
keebrev 18th Feb 2017		Classical Item Carl Seemann - Mozart: Piano Concertos No. 24 And No. 25	It seens to be they have changed the orchestra on side 2 of the label, or made a mistake on the back of the cover. The director Fritz Lehmann died in May 1956, so it's an old recording they reissued in the UK, probably for the first time in 1969. Edit: Side 2 - the recording is in January 1956, with the Munich Philharmonic.
keebrev 17th Feb 2017		Classical Item Prague Chamber Orchestra - The Four Seasons (1976)	Well.... tons of Supraphon records.... not in The Netherlands as far as I know, They were cheap, yes, but they had a name of bad quality (like Europa / Karoussel records) and the performances coudn't tip to the Westen musicians. So you don't see them so much, especially not SQ ones. Melodia was represented by CNR here and had the same problem, although Russian music should be played with Russian musicians, because "only they could feel the spirit" of the composer :) , according to CNR. Reminds me of a nice promo 7" vinyl record I have somewhere. It has a origami promotion leaf.
keebrev 17th Feb 2017		Classical Item Carl Seemann - Mozart: Piano Concertos No. 24 And No. 25	And again a quiz... what are the differences between the record and the label....
keebrev 17th Feb 2017		Classical Item Prague Chamber Orchestra - The Four Seasons (1976)	I never saw a quadraphonic vinyl and didn't know they made four channel records behind the Iron Curtain. Or was this only for export purpuses, as seen on the back of the cover GB/GE/FR texts?
keebrev 31st Jan 2017		Classical Item Youri Egorov - Bunte Blätter, Arabeske (1986)	Youri Egorov's live performance of the Bunte Blätter: [YouTube Video]
keebrev 31st Jan 2017		Classical Item Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan - Konzert für Violine und Orchester D-moll Op. 47 (1965)	Stereo record
keebrev 31st Jan 2017		Classical Item Christian Ferras, Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan - Sibelius: Konzert Für Violine Und Orchester, Finlandia (1965)	Mono record
keebrev 31st Jan 2017		Classical Item Berliner Philharmoniker, Ferenc Fricsay - Sinfonie Nr. 5 E-moll Op. 95 Aus Der Neuen Welt (Nouveau Monde)	Stereo record
keebrev 31st Jan 2017		Classical Item Berliner Philharmoniker, Ferenc Fricsay - Sinfonie Nr. 5 E-moll Op. 95 Aus Der Neuen Welt	Mono record
keebrev 29th Jan 2017		Classical Item Jo Vincent - Largo (Ombra Mai Fu), Ave Maria	Here you can hear her beautiful voice: Jo Vincent
keebrev 28th Jan 2017		Classical Item The Choir Of King's College, Cambridge - Requiem, Op. 48 (1968)	Added music (without track 2-04 Pavane): [YouTube Video]
keebrev 24th Jan 2017		Classical Item Ursula Van Diemen, Margherita Perras - Laudate Dominum, Ave Maria	Ursula van Diemen (1897 - 1988) sings "Laudate Dominum" from Vesperae solennes de confessore, KV 339 (W.A. Mozart), played on an acoustical gramophone: [YouTube Video] A wonderful voice
keebrev 22nd Jan 2017		Classical Item Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan - Ludwig Van Beethoven (1963)	This vinyl box-set was a unique and a succesful selling strategy of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. They knew ordinary people couldn't afford a box with originally seven records. So they sold the records one by one. Each record also contains a voucher (coupon) for collecting the box. After five vouchers it was possible to buy the box with a unique serial number. This one is number XV 220, and,(for your information), they added one record extra for the same price to sustain their high standard recording standards. The box included a 20 - page booklet about the history of the symphonies and the recording sessions, starting from 1961 till 1963. Here is an example of the sixth symphony as a stereo record SLPM 138 805 The inner sleeves have a relief of the DGG logo at the upper right hand corner.
keebrev 21st Jan 2017		Classical Item Aram Khachaturian Conducting The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - Spartacus, Gayaneh (1963)	Added video [YouTube Video]
