One listing is of Smetena 'From my Home', No.2 with pianist Karl Szreter, on the same page as Nathan Milstein and Váša Príhoda. And there is the recording of Beethoven's Violin Concerto on Polydor 95243/7 with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Manfred Gurlitt. The colorful label of this Polydor disc from Hannover indicates that this is an acoustic recording. There is also no mention of "elecvtrical recording" nor of Polydor's Polyfar electrical recording system intropduced in 1929 which had an extended frequency band up to 16,000 Hz.

The Residency Orchestra (The Hague) conducted by Frits Schuurman play Bartok:

Roumanian Dances in an orchestration for String Orchestra by Arthur Willner.

Frits Schuurman stood at the helm of the Residency Orchestra from 1938 till 1949. There is a sticker on the label of Side 1. The previous owner tried to remove the sticker but had no luck and damaged the label.
Research shows that the record was sold in the city of Nijmegen in The Netherlands and that the shop was of Technisch Bureau De Kroon located at 140 Molenstraat in Nijmegen. The recording is announced in The Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music, 1948 edition, but is not yet available. It is obviously the last recording made by the orchestra under conductor Frits Schuurman and made for Dutch Decca. From 1950 on The Residency Orchestra under its new conductor Willem van Otterloo was going to make recordings for the Philips label, the company that was founded in 1950. Many Dutch artists performed for Dutch Decca Distribution (Hollandsche Decca Distributie N.V., Amsterdam) which was bought by Philips in 1942.

This performance was recorded in 1928 by Columbia. Strange is however that the disc is not listed in both editions of The Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music of 1942 and 1948 respectively.

Irving Kolodin evaluated this recording in the dubbed to LP version issued in the USA on Vox which was the only recording available at the time. In 'The New Guide To Recorded Music' published in 1950 he writes:

"I have a high regard for everything here except the reproduction, which is 1935-ish and not improved by its dubbing for this reissue. However , they are superb songs, and Rehkemper is an intelligent interpreter. More than that the purchaser will have to decide for himself."

Daniel Ruynemann (Ruyneman): Solo Sonata for Violin (Sonate voor Vioolsolo; 1925) played by Alexander / Alexandre Moskowsky

Krystall Electro Record CH 051/CH 052 Made in Germany

Daniël Ruynemann (1886-1963) was a Dutch composer who initially received piano lessons but after all was more interested in composition. He studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory from 1913 till 1916. In 1918 he protested with other modernistic composers and artists against the conservative programming of the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Willem Mengelberg. That was when a composition by Matthijs Vermeulen was rejected by Mengelberg to be performed. With other young Dutch composers - Sem Dresden, Henri Zagwijn, Bernhard van den Sigtenhorst-Meyer, Alexander Voormolen en later also Willem Pijper - he founded the "Dutch Society for the Development of Modern Music" (Nederlandsche Vereeniging tot Ontwikkeling der Moderne Scheppende Toonkunst) which became the Dutch chapter of "The International Society for Contemporary Music". Ruynemann was an important figure in the movement of modern art and music. This movement was prohibited by the Germans in 1941. In the 1950s he was a promotor of contempory music while organizing concerts in the Municipal Museum of Amsterdam (Stedelijk Museum) where compositons of Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, Luigi Nono and Karlheinz Stockhausen were performed.

Ruynemann wrote his Solo Sonata (dedicated to Bronislaw Hubermann) in 1925. The movements are: Ironique, Recitativo Quasi Cadenza, and Fugue (based on the Dutch song "Merck toch hoe sterck" from the so called Valerius Gedenckklank). On this 78 RPM shellac disc the Sonata is performed by Alexander (Alexandre) Moskowsky who was a member of the Hungarian Quartet from 1940 till 1959. Biographical details on this violinist are not available. The value of this recording lies in the context of Dutch historical musical culture and has no international significance. Hence it has a meaning for a researcher of the pre World War Two period of Dutch music or has significance for a specific institution that deals with Dutch music.

See info on Ruyneman here.

The performance is regrettably not of a very high standard but is as far as I know the only one that momentarily exists.

Tod und Verklärung - Death and Transfigutration - Op. 24

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Recorded in 1950

This performance was recorded 21, 23, 24 January 1950. Recording producer was Walter Legge. Engineer was Anthony Griffith. The recording was first issued as HMV 78s DB.21169-71.

Since the introduction of the tape recorder around 1947 which made the long playing record possible, 78 RPM records were no longer direct-to-disc registrations. This meant that a performance could be recorded in its entirety on tape and then be spread out over as many shellac disc sides as was necessary. The quality of direct-to-disc recordings is superior to that of the sound of music on tape, in any case in the early 1950s. The HMV discs of this Furtwangler performance therefor lack the dynamic quality and immediacy collectors were and are used to. It is not certain if the second edition - which is on offer here - was produced to improve the sound.

His Master's Voice D.B. 9592 - 9593 -9594. Records are EX. Some surface noise. Professionally cleaned. Shiny surfaces. Plain sleeves. Labels do have the same color intensity but while editing the differences in appearance were unintentionally the result.

Sir Henry J. Wood conducts
The New Queen's Hall Orchestra

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky -
P.I. Tschaikovsky:

Symphony No. 6 ("Pathétique"), Opus 74.

This ultra rare recording, was made well before 1925, in the acoustic era, when the ensemble gathered in front of a horn and in some recordings the bass in the score was imitated by a tuba which was louder; whether the replacement by the tuba was effectuated in this recording is not known by me.

A complete and long symphony on 4 records implies automatically that there have been cuts in the score and a few transitions were arranged.

The dynamics and the fidelity of acoustic recordings are low if compared to the electrical recording system. The electrical recording was introduced in 1925 and changed the reproduction of music via records significantly and heightened the appreciation and boosted the prolifiration of popular and classical music, and jazz. The discs on offer here show of course all traits of the acoustic recording: weak signal to noise.

There is surface noise (hiss). It is recommended to play the records with a ceramic cartridge and a special thick needle tip instead of using an old wind up gramophone, often jokingly referred to as "a destruction machine".

The small leaflet with liner notes and details (in English) says that this set has to be played at 80 RPM.
