Fall, 1945 SUN SPOTS Page 16 * * * * * * * * * * The abbreviations used in this list are: A.S. -- L'Anthologie Sonor C. -- Columbia C. M. -- Columbia Masterwork Album C. Op. -- Columbia Opera Album C. X. -- Columbia Album (Two records) D. -- Decca FRM -- Friends of Recorded Music G. -- Gramaphone (His Master's Voice; England) O. -- Odeon O. L. -- L'oiseau Lyre P. -- Perlophone P. D. -- Polydor PAT -- Pathe PAR -- Paraclete V. -- Victor V. M. -- Victor Masterwork Album V. C. -- Victor Concert Album V. G. -- Victor black label concert albums W.H.E., October 2, 1943 * * * ADDENDA By Gerry de ;a Ree Taking my cue from Bill Evans' invitation for additions and corrections in reference to the following list, I have taken the liberty of inserting several musical compositions of a fantastic nature which he overlooked. As this list was compiled two years ago, there have naturally been released a number of new recordings. And by the same token many of the items listed are now out of stock and available only through a few second hand dealers. One composition which I have added to the list is "A Pagan Poem" by Charles Loeffler, Victor Album 876. This is a worthy piece, recorded by the Eastman-Rochester Orch. under Howard Hanson. Another item, released since Evans wrote his article is Hanson's "Merry Mount Suite". The opera "Merry Mount" is one of the few American Operas ever to be presented at the Metropolitan. Its plot is quite fantastic and the music equally so. Another recent release is Victor Album 929, a brilliant production of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. This album contains four of the seven compositions, namely Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. The Victor records, played by the B.B.C. Symphony, are far superior to the more complete Columbia Album listed by Evans. I have also included Maurice Ravel's "Bolero", which has a weird theme. I guess that about sums it up.
