I've recently obtained some "World Broadcast
Service" pressd 16" transcription discs.
I'm sceptical of some of the performer
names. Has a performer/psuedomom list been compled for these?
Two of interest are Leo Erody, conductor and
Taylor King, violinist. Their recordings are on the "World Program
Service" label.
There is also a pair of single sided discs of
"Peter and the Wolf" with Boston Symphony Orchestra hadscribed clearly in
the dead wax. It's live, possibly a children's concert judging by the
titters in the background. The speaker uses the standard translation but
is placed higher than that of Richard Hale, with whom they recorded it, though
no less upscaley English. This one has a "World Broadcasting System"
label, same color orange/red as the two mentioned above.
Has anyone done a study of the World
transcription discs? The info I'm seraching is beyond their published
catalog.
