Re: [ARSCLIST] The Discographical Puzzle

[Howard Friedman <hsf318@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how else to get back into the fray, except to change the Subject line here.

Regarding the conductor and violinist of the Trocadero Orchestra in London in August 1898, Bob Hodge says that his name was Leopold, according to Arnold's book "The Orchestra on Record - 1896-1926"  Fred Gaisberg also says Leopold.  Alan Kelly lists his recordings as J. Jacobs or J. J. Jacobs, while all the records I have seen - both of them - say G. Jacobs. 

Incidentally, Bob Hodge, the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto recordings are listed in Kelly's unlettered catalog  as 

J J JACOBS

     1850       5-4-99    E7917         Violin Concerto: Finale (Mendelssohn)

     1851       6-4-99    E7918         Légende: 1st Movement (Wieniawski)

     1852

     1853       6-4-99    E7916         Violin Concerto: 1st Movement (Mendelssohn)


Can anyone provide a solution, G., J., Jacques, or Leopold?
