Re: [ARSCLIST] Lysistrata Overture (2)

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been plowing through Claude Arnold's The Orchestra On Record..he does list 
orchestras (and page numbers), and has Pathé Orchestra, Pathé Concert Orchestra 
and Pathé Symphony Orchestra, but no Pathé Frères Orchestra. No title index and 
I've made it only through the Pathé Orchestra cross-references so far.

Lincke's Lysistrata is listed, but the only recorded excerpt is The Glow Worm, 
and only one recording of it (conducted by the composer, 1903). Guess it had to 
wait for Spike Jones to make it a hit.

Back to cross-referencing.
