Re: [ARSCLIST] Pathe 12" Waldorf-Astoria DO



Is this a Pathe or an Okeh?

As I say, there are some..the one I had and have again is Henry Hadley's Orchestra (which I presume is members of the NY Philharmonic) in an excerpt from the New World Symphony.

(Interesting..I've never seen a 12" Pathe Actuelle either Obviously there are at least 4 others. And very few 12" OKeh classical acousticals..I gave Father Arnold one years ago.)

Nope. Not there or under Waldorf Astoria either.

It's "Concert Orchestra" which makes it a bit more perplexing.

I just received a Pathe Actuelle 12" 78, 15105. It contains
Chabrier's
Habanera (originally a piano piece, here orchestrated similarly to
that by
the composer) and the March of the Toys from Herbert's "Babes in
Toyland."

The performing group is credited as the Waldorf-Astoria Concert
Orchestra.
It sounds like 20 or so musicians.



Who conducts?  What was this doing on Pathe as a 12"?   Something here
smells fishy- another group in disguise.



I can't say I've seen many other 12" Actuelles. Is there a story
behind
this?
