Re: [ARSCLIST] Stravinsky recordings
The Robert Philip discography lists the Mexican recording of the
Divertimento as follows:
MEXICO CITY
Mexico Symphony Orchestra, Igor Stravinsky
32 DIVERTIMENTO 3 Aug 40 PCS
061774-79
9 Jly 41 PCS
061784-86
[PCS 061775-77] Unpublished
[PCS 061774/84-86/78-79 U.S.A. 11-8308-10 (set DM931)
11-8420-22
[set M-931]
On page 10 of the book, Philip clarifies the above entry as follow:
"The test pressings of the Divertimento revealed that the microphones had
picked up intrusive noise from a nearby factory and the records could not be
published until Stravinsky returned to Mexico for a further session, in
which three of the sides were remade."

How did I miss the Mass? I have the set, and it's in WERM. DM 1349, ten-inch
LP
LM 17. The Mexican recording of the Divertimento is listed as "old version,
Mexico", Victor M 931 and I know nothing about it either.
