Four new titles (Steinberg, Toscanini, Golschmann & Irving)

So, after another long absence, here are a few new offerings:-


  1. William Steinberg & the Pittsburgh. Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony was omitted from the big EMI Icon box, and Prokofiev's 6-movement "Love of Three Oranges" Suite was missing two movements !

Both from my own LPs, transferred by Alan Bunting.


Tchaikovsky 5th Symphony (Capitol P 8325, rec. 19th April 1955) [14:08, 12:50, 6:11, 12:31]


Prokofiev Love of Three Oranges Suite (Capitol SL 9228, rec. October 1957 [2:50, 3:40, 1:31, 1:22, 3:08, 2:00] Total: 60:18

2. Toscanini & the NBC.


When BMG / RCA issued a big set of all Toscanini's official recordings about 7 years ago (around 80 CDs), some copies, including mine, had two errors. This 1949 Eroica was missed off (and a later one duplicated), while Rossini's "Italian Girl in Algiers" Overture was missing the first two bars. Here, from other RCA issues, are these two recordings.


Tracks 1 - 4: Beethoven: Symphony No. 3. Recorded 29th November and 5th December 1949

Track 5: Rossini: Overture "The Italian Girl in Algiers". Recorded 14th April 1950

1. Introduction 2. Voyage Of The Swans (violin solo Harry Farbman)

3. Pas De Trois & Dance Of The Swans, Nos. 1 & 2 4. Invitation To A Waltz

5. Dance Of The Swans, No. 3 & Spanish Dance 6. Mazurka 7. Dance Of The Little Swans

8. Entr'acte 9. Pas D'action & Czardas 10. Valse

This is a recent release by the UK Sibelius Society, which I helped to prepare. Sunday 13th June 1954 Symphony No. 3, Six Songs Op. 88 (orch. Jalas & sung by Ellabelle Davis) & Night Ride & Sunrise. 2

Here are two more recordings that fell through the EMI / Warner net when they issued their Icon boxed set of William Steinberg & the Pittsburgh a few years back. First, the other J. Strauss items. 1.

Universal recently issued a mega-box of Ansermet stereo recordings, but somehow missed off this recording, while duplicating the 1957 version. So, for completists, here is the (surprisingly elusive) 1
