[ARSCLIST] Richard Dyer-Bennet Discography - request for corrections and additions



  Below is a discography of the recordings of Richard Dyer-Bennet.
Anyone with corrections or additions is urged to contact me with revised
data.
  NOTABLY MISSING data needed: details of the 1941 Packard recordings
(matrix, record numbers, dates),
                               details for VOX album 631 (Minstrelsy of the
British Isles),
                               many recording dates, release dates,
                               missing matrix number sequences,
                               odd tracks in compilations,
                               and the source of many of the titles reissued
on Stinson LPs.

Your help to make this as correct and complete is greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!
Sincerely, Thomas.

Summary:  The Great concert artist Richard Dyer-Bennet recites some of the
lines of Robert Fitzgerald's translation of Homer's Odyssey. He has set
himself an ingenious challenge : to record the entire ancient poem in all
its epic length and beauty-in the spoken form in which the world first heard
the tale, three millennia ago. He discusses his preparation for this
project, including his personal ideas and feelings about the poem and how it
should best be rendered vocally with incidental musical accompaniment.
