Re: [ARSCLIST] Shostakovich, was Re: [ARSCLIST] early CD bashing

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

accidentally opened this post and Musicraft caught my eye - perhaps you 
are talking of some specific genre...,
Musicraft had a large classical catalog in the late 30's, in addition to 
the specialty items (Revuers, Cradle, Leadbelly, Sandburg etc.)
They abandoned classical in the 40's. and turned to jazz and pop - an 
impressive and important catalog
 I am not particularly informed about the Asch classical material 
(would like any info people would care to share).  Thanks.
Best wishes, Thomas.

BTW,the sole Sears 78 I own,of Leinsdorf,does not credit an orchestra.They may on subsequent issues/pressings.I do,however own a 1957 Lp,which compiles five or six Leinsdorf/Enescu Silvertone 78s.This came out on Hollywood,and lists the  orchestra,as  "The Rochester Philharmonic". Would this be The Eastman-Rochester,by any chance ?                                Roger Kulp
