Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 54-12064 Manufactured in the U.S.A. PREFACE I Record Ratings is essentially a guidebook pointing the way to a tremendous body of critical writing about recordings. The reviews of records in a large number of periodicals are indexed, and before each citation of a review a symbol is given to show whether the re- viewer judged the release to be excellent, adequate, or inadequate. On the theory that one critic can be biassed, opinionated, or simply wrong, whereas many critics taken together may perhaps approach something like objective truth, a user of Record Ratings will find here an across-the-board report on the reactions of a representative group of critics to each release. To round up this information, the compiler has made many trips into the back files of numerous maga- zines that review recordings regularly — once to record the citation of the review and at least once more (and on occasion five or six times over) to distil the essence of the review and select a symbol to represent the distillation.

These assigned symbols indicate what he, as a conscientious reporter, thought the critic thought about the disc under consideration. The user of Record Ratings is free to accept these third-hand im- pressions. They represent eight years of indexing and reading and evaluation. Many dedicated record col- lectors, despite good intentions and high degree of interest, will be unable to follow any other course.

Limited time and limited library facilities are two obvious factors insuring this. And for others who must use the book as they run, the symbols are often completely sufficient.

When eight or ten symbols are given for the same recording, they generally establish a pattern of approval, acceptance, or disapproval. If the pattern is one of substantial agreement, it affords a clear-cut buying guide, always presuming that the user will similarly examine the alternative versions of the same composition and make a passing note of the recency of the reviews. To give the symbols their fair due, they offer, at the very least, a reasonably clear picture of the over-all reaction of the critics to a particular release, and this variegated picture of yeas and nays can often be exceptionally revealing. No doubt many individuals who will consult this volume will use it primarily on this level — and on no other. But Record Ratings has more to offer than the quick and superficial use of its symbols.

One might say that it is built in strata, and if a user will dig down to a more profound level, he will discover there addi- tional material for his use. All the dates and page numbers of these thousands of reviews are not given simply as a pretentious bibliographical demonstration. Rather they are offered in the hope that they will be seized upon, and the reviews looked up and read. Indeed, anyone that rests content with the symbols alone will miss half the fun, since no system of symbols, no matter how elaborately designed or judiciously assigned, can possibly catch the full flavor of the reviews themselves. The reasons a reviewer gives for liking or disliking a particular release are actually more crucial than his final decision, and often reveal that the decision should be taken with a grain of salt. Perhaps he simply does not like 'musicological music,' no matter how well it is performed. Perhaps he is allergic to the harpsichord or the theremin, or looks askance at all music post-Debussy.

Possibly his reasons are more subtle: he may favor the clean, objective performances of a certain great Italian, but become peevish when confronted with a slower, more intro- spective (and Teutonic) interpretation. Such consid- erations — and dozens of similar factors — are what go to make up personal taste.

The ultimate consumer, however, is as much a creature of personal taste as the critic whose review has been published. Either, if queried, would insist that his t^ste was the best taste, and since there is no earthly way of resolving such conflicts, the only sen- sible course is for each consumer, whether he ultimately plans to read many or few reviews, to read at least enough reviews to acquire a measure of familiarity with, and sophistication about, the various publications and their reviewers. Some such background is really essential if the more complicated and conflicting pat- terns of symbols are to be interpreted meaningfully at all- levels and for all individuals. Having acquired such a background, a user of this book may easily find that for him a plus-sign associated with one critic is roughly equivalent to a minus-sign associated with some other critic. In short, although the symbols have been assigned with the utmost conscientiousness, there is nothing absolute about them. They do convey final judgments accurately, but this does not mean that those judgments will be equally valid for all who turn to this book for guidance. M When the user finds himself becoming conscious of the dates of the reviews, a third stratum will have been reached.

Correspondence between date of recording, date of issue, and date of review is naturally somewhat variable, but nonetheless the dates of the reviews are often indicative of the approximate temporal relation- ship between releases. The miracle of tape transfer and the international aspect of the record industry make for fascinating speculation on the recency and provenance of many recordings. Today, some record- ings reach the market place with astounding rapidity. A New York Philharmonic premiere of a Shostakovich symphony appears almost as soon as the reviews of the performance. On the other hand, technical processes have made it possible to revitalize and restore to cur- rency many performances which have lain these many years in the vaults. Evidence on these and other points can be deduced from a careful perusal of Record Ratings.

The cita- tions that appear in paragraph form under the heading 'Prior Reviews,' refer to the existence of the record- ing as a 78rpm release, which may date back twenty- five years or more. (Incidentally, when the term 'Prior' was picked, it was assumed that all 78rpm releases would be earlier than the release of the same performance on LP, but during the period when the English still refused to accept LPs, they brought out many a 78rpm recording issued earlier as an LP in the United States. As a result, some cited 'Prior Reviews' are actually subsequent, but at least they all refer to a 78rpm release.) In the citations appearing below in column form, successive LP editions may be represented, reflecting the technical advances which make possible the placing of far more material on a disc than at the onset of LP; they also reveal the commercial astuteness involved in merchandising an older item in a newly conceived package.

Further- more, as Record Ratings indexes French and English magazines the prior or subsequent appearance of the recording in the United States is clearly established. To a serious student of recordings, these age and distribution patterns can indeed be fascinating, and on occasion may confirm or discourage his interest in some 'new' release. II This volume, as its subtitle suggests, is the culmina- tion of a long series of installments of the 'Index of Record Reviews' which have appeared in the quarterly journal of the Music Library Association, Notes. The first experimental installment appeared in the issue for March 1948, compiled by Philip L.

Miller and Louise Pratt Howe. With the second installment in June 1948, the present compiler, who had long made something of a specialty of indexing reviews for himself and for his library, was persuaded to take on the task. The index has appeared in each issue of the magazine since then, and the expectation is that it will continue to appear for many issues to come. Twice in the past, lesser cumulations of these install- ments have been published by the Association. In 1951, the first of these brought together the entries previously published in the issues from December 1948 to September 1950, and the second cumulated the four installments for the succeeding year.

A third cumulation was in process of compilation when Crown Publishers approached the Association late in 1953 with the suggestion that a jumbo cumulation covering all LPs be prepared and published commercially. The suggestion promptly halted all work on the third cumulation, and by June 1954 serious work on Record Ratings was started. The plan for Record Ratings called for the use of as much type from these installments as was still avail- able. Although even as early as June 1954 this meant a good deal of type, in addition most of the early entries had to be re-designed and re-set, and a large amount of completely new material was added to round out the coverage of the book as a whole. The complexities of collating and cross-indexing all this detailed data accumulated over the years since 1948 were enormous, and added to this was the problem of incorporating the new matter accruing after June 1954.

All of the September and most of the December install- ments were interfiled, and although it proved impos- sible for technical reasons to add any Composite Re- leases after this date, decreasing amounts of the Com- poser entries were incorporated through June 1955. In other words, Record Ratings not only has a demonstrable history before publication.

It is, so to speak, the first record catalog to appear with a built-in continuation. A substantial amount of material that could not be included in the book has already accumu- lated, but if Record Ratings meets with as wide an acceptance as is hoped, a first Supplement should appear in the near future and additional supplements annually thereafter. The supplements should keep the main volume usable for some years, and it is hoped that a new 'main volume' can be issued in due course to incorporate the supplements in a single alphabet. What is more, record collectors who need to keep more nearly abreast of the new releases may always consult the quarterly installments as they first appear in Notes. The magazine is usually to be found in most music libraries, and if your local library is not already a member of the Music Library Association, perhaps they can be prevailed upon to join.

In any case, Notes is available to anyone interested at five dollars per year. A subscription blank is supposed to be laid in each copy of Record Ratings, but if it has gone astray, simply send the subscription to the Music Library Association, c/o Music Division, Library of Congress, Washington 25, D. (The address makes a disclaimer in order. The Association is not a government sup- ported organization, and Notes is not a publication of the Library of Congress. Having no permanent ad- dress of its own, the Association has simply been given permission to use that of the Music Division.) IV Ill It has seemed advisable to describe this past history of Record Ratings in such detail because certain ad- vantages and disadvantages of the present volume derive directly from that history. The most important advantage is unquestionably the relatively low price of the book. There is no question that had it been produced in the United States wholly from typescript, its price would have had to be roughly that asked in this country for the only recent discography of com- parable size and complexity — the Clough and Cuming World's Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music.

That the price has actually been held to less than thirty per cent of that figure will, it is hoped, be counted as a decided advantage by many purchasers. Once achieved, however, this advantage has only been maintained through certain carefully calculated sacrifices in consistency and perfection. On the theory that each volume would be cumulated separately, every effort was made to achieve consistency within the range of the annual volumes of Notes; but a change from one volume to the next was usually welcomed by com- piler and editor as a fine chance for introducing im- provements. Now that all of these annual volumes have been thrown together, the variety of styles some- times produces odd effects.

The words 'sharp' and 'flat' were regularly written out in early entries, but later the conventional symbols were introduced; two sizes of boxes, □ and □, used at different periods with the same significance, may be found; care in regard to accents has increased through the years, and although many of the omitted accents have now been added, others will still be found missing. It is hoped that readers, tempted to complain about these and similar infelicities, will pause to reflect on the price they have paid for Record Ratings and remember that absolute consistency can be very expensive to achieve. Other disadvantages — some of them rather more glaring — are the result of the same calculated effort to economize. Since the 'Index of Record Reviews' was originally designed for the use of order sections in music libraries, it seemed essential to quote the manufacturers' fair trade prices. These had not been realistic for some years, but it was always possible to use them as a basis for calculating any available discount, and thus they were carefully revised on several occasions to bring them into line with the then current practice. When the debacle of January 1955 came upon us, and the official price structure of the entire industry began its downward course, a rapid decision had to be reached.

Most of Record Ratings had already been set — at least, in so far as the entries were concerned — and it was a question of whether the prices should be changed or simply eliminated. It was decided that, since the market was obviously going to continue 'soft' and innumerable future changes could be expected, the prices should be elim- inated. But when the printer contributed to the calculations his estimate of how much it would cost to reset and replace all of the slugs on which a price appeared, this simple decision was promptly modified, and the prices will be found substantially as they were.

A few points — size of disc, number of discs in set, 'cheap series' — may still be deduced from them, and it was simply not worth while to raise the price of every copy of the book merely to eliminate these out- moded figures. Nevertheless, in the few new entries no price is given, and occasionally an old price was removed during the paging operation. For current list prices, however, the reader is referred to the tables found at the end of the Schwann Long Playing Catalog, published monthly by W. Schwann, 137 Newbury Street, Boston 16, Mass., and distributed through re- tailers, or in The Long Player, edited by Abner Levin and Robert Reid, published and distributed by Long Player Publications, Inc., Box 346, New York 19, N. Similarly, information on alternative pressings (45rpm and 78rpm) is dated. The tendency of manu- facturers is to differentiate with increasing sharpness the type of material issued in the different speeds. The manufacture of 78rpm discs is now limited largely to children's, educational, and popular records.

The RCA Victor numerical catalog for April, 1955, listed six Red Seal 78rpm albums as still available. Although these stalwarts included such best-sellers as Toscanini's William Tell and Lanza's Great Caruso, they too had disappeared from the list by the following October. Leaving entries of this sort in Record Ratings was by no means wholly an economy measure. In a very real sense, the book is an historical guide, covering the whole period of LP record production and through its citation of 'prior reviews' permitting readers to trace the history of many LP releases back into the days of 78rpm production as well.

Thus whole entries are often retained for discs that are no longer available from the manufacturer. The Schwann catalog for March, 1956, lists 1,166 recordings about to be deleted from manufacturers' catalogs and from the Schwann catalog as well. Many releases — not to mention manu- facturers — had already disappeared from the scene, and further reduction of the enormous catalogs built up since 1948 may be expected. Once an entry was set up for the 'Index of Record Reviews,' however, it has generally been retained in Record Ratings on the theory that its previous existence can be of con- siderable historical importance. Naturally, when some performance has been reissued in a new format or under a different label, the latest available information has been added, usually in a note at the end of the entry, although occasionally an entry has been remade to file under its new number or new manufacturer. Since the reviews normally refer to the earlier incarna- tion of the performance, it has generally seemed best to leave the entry under the number it had when re- viewed, and thus, for example, users of Record Ratings will often find a release now available in Columbia's CL classification under its earlier ML number.

IV Record Ratings is, as has been stated repeatedly in this Preface, an 'index of record reviews.' In an effort to make entries as full and as accurately descrip- tive of contents as possible and to provide guideposts from the composer section of the volume to the com- posite releases section, the compiler and editor have lent it some of the aspects of a catalog. Given money to pay for unlimited expansion of the volume, those aspects could easily be increased. But the function of the volume as a catalog would continue to exist alongside of the function of the volume as an index of reviews, and the two functions could never be made to fuse into an integral whole.

As long as record manufacturers make records with several compositions on them, often by half a dozen composers, a record catalog must necessarily separate these compositions and composers, entering each in its proper place in the catalog. With Record Ratings, such an analytic treatment of the material is wholly impossible. It is expensive enough to cite ten or twenty reviews once, and to repeat these citations with each component of a disc would obviously be ridiculous.

This fact dictates arbitrarily that the complete contents of a disc can be stated but once, all in a single place, and that this statement can then be followed by a single citation of the reviews. Sublimely simple as is this hard core of the proposi- tion, there nonetheless follows in its wake a series of almost insuperable bibliographical problems — prob- lems that become continuously more acute as the size of the volume increases and the entries are distributed over more pages.

Succinctly put, the various titles of the works on a single disc can only be arranged either alphabetically or (if the works are numbered) in serial order. If all the compositions have the same general title — concerto, quartet, sonata — no serious difficulty arises.

But once one attempts to deal with works with distinctive titles or even with miscellaneous 'recitals,' it is clear that only the first title can be filed in its proper place among the works of the composer, and all the remainder are to some extent dislocated. The mind jumps immediately to the obvious solution of indexing the index, of creating a classified title catalog to stand alongside of the index of reviews.

This would necessarily mean reprinting in tabular form all of the titles already printed in the index of reviews, together with the necessary references from the former to the latter. In the process, the size of the book (and its price) would be increased by close to fifty percent, and after long study and consideration, it was decided to trust to the ingenuity of the users of Record Ratings in hunting out titles and to spare their pocketbooks. The one real balm to our consciences in reaching this decision was the knowledge that, regardless of how neatly a catalog may separate the various com- ponents on a disc, no one has as yet found a way to purchase separately the fifth component of any LP disc. One takes the whole disc or one takes nothing.

It could even be that this inadvertent emphasis on records as entities is a healthy contribution to disco- graphy. None of what has been said, however, should be taken as indicating that the compiler and editor lack respect for the fine art of cataloging or have been consciously derelict in their duty to the reader.

Although the compiler was limited to a single, compact entry for each record, everything within reason has been done to identify most of the works clearly and accurately. Serial and opus numbers are regularly given where they exist. When lacking, dates of com- position or publication have often been supplied, and for composers whose works have been organized in a thematic catalog, the number assigned to the work in that catalog is given. Everyone must be familiar with the Kbchel index of the works of Mozart, but many other catalogs have also been used — Alfred Wot- quenne's index for the works of C. Bach (indi- cated with a W); Wolfgang Schmieder's for J. Bach (S); Grove, and more recently the new Kinsky-Halm index, for Beethoven (G and K-H respectively); Grove, again, for Liszt (G); Otto Erich Deutsch's index for Schubert (D); and both of the indexes by Marc Pincherle and Mario Rinaldi for Vivaldi (P and Rinaldi). Where time permitted and none of these possibilities for identification applied, works have often been traced to some standard publication, such as the big historical series or the complete editions of the works of a given composer.

Usually this informa- tion is given in the main entry, but with the Com- posite Releases it has frequently been incorporated into the table of cross references at the end of a composer-section. In cases where some doubt arises, these cross references should be consulted.

They will be found particularly helpful in establishing the col- lection or suite from which a song or small piano piece has been excerpted. In short, the intention has always been to supply all necessary information for each release, and it is hoped that this feature of the book has made it a better and more useful publication. If it is, Mr. Littman Danziger, proprietor of The Disc Shop in Washington, is in part responsible, and a word of thanks to him and all of his exceptionally able staff must be entered here. The notes on record envelopes being what they are, it was often necessary to play a record to find out what was on it. Danziger gave the editor free run of his shop at all times, and many an identification was only made possible through his friendly cooperation.

Victor Orchestra Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Vienna Symphony Orchestra Vienna State Opera Orchestra Summary account of HOW RECORD RATINGS WORKS Record Ratings is constructed in two main sections — plus an index of performers. The first and longer section is primarily a listing of entries for discs containing the works of a single composer, with the entries arranged alphabetically by composers, and then alphabetically by the first title in the entry. Scattered through the list will be found a limited number of subject entries to take care of special types of material. A list of the subjects will be found in the Table of Contents on the back of this page. The second main section, entitled 'Composite Releases,' is designed to take care of recordings containing works by more than one com- poser. Here the entries are grouped under the names of the manufacturer or label, with these names arranged alphabeti- cally.

Within the groups, the entries are arranged serially by the numbers assigned by the manufacturer. Often there is a single series of numbers, but where the manufacturer uses more than one series, differentiating between series by adding code letters before the numbers, the series are presented arranged alphabetically by code letters. The names of all composers appearing in this second list are indexed in the first list. Where any of these names would otherwise not appear in the first list, the name is given in large and small capitals, followed by one or more references to entries among the Composite Releases where works of the composer may be found. When there is already a full entry for the composer in the first section, these cross references are grouped at the end of the composer's other listings. If the composer has relatively few pieces among the Composite Releases, the cross references are limited to the manufacturers' names and numbers, and the user of the index is left to discover the titles of the compositions for himself.

As the number of works increases, the bibliographical detail with which these cross references are elaborated also increases until for some of the major composers an extended classified catalog of over a page is given. Each entry in the first section starts with a full description of the material recorded on the disc, usually with each work identified bibliographically. This is followed by a statement giving the performers of each work.

In the case of orchestras that appear frequently on records, the names are given in the abbreviations appearing in the table below. The entry con- tinues with the record number and usually a price, now gen- erally superseded (see the Preface, p. If the performance has been issued on discs recorded at different speeds, or if it has previously or subsequently been issued with different numbers or by different manufacturers, a series of notes briefly stating the facts ends the descriptive part of the entry. In the Composite Releases section, the entries are functionally very similar, except that the record number is transferred to the beginning of the entry, and it is often followed by a general title covering the contents of the release as a whole. The names of the various composers, arranged alphabetically, are also given during the course of each entry.

Below the descriptive part of the entry is a list of citations for reviews of the release in question. The citations are culled from twenty-seven magazines and one newspaper.

The names of the magazines are indicated through the use of the abbrevia- tions in the table on the back of this leaf, and this abbrevia- tion is followed by a series of numbers indicating the month, day, year, and page of the issue where the review appears. Before each citation there stands a symbol indicating the reviewer's final conclusion on the quality of the performance. The three grades of opinion indicated are: + excellent, • ade- quate, and — inadequate. In no case does the symbol attempt to reflect anything whatsoever with regard to the quality of the music itself, but in some instances it seems likely that techni- cal aspects of the recording have swayed, consciously or un- consciously, the reviewer's conclusions, and in such cases these factors are unavoidably reflected in the symbol. Where the reviewer has given a specific warning about a mechanical fault in the disc, the abbreviation (m.f.) is added at the end of the citation. English reviewers are more prone to report such faults, and naturally they are usually discussing an altogether different pressing. Other variables may also be present — the reviewer may be working from a test pressing, he may be using unusual play-back equipment, and copy-to-copy variations are by no means unknown — and thus a single (m.f.) need not be taken too seriously, whereas three or four, reported by a variety of reviewers, surely are.

On a somewhat different plane, additional symbols are used. When a D is given instead of one of the three regular symbols, it indicates that the review expresses no clear-cut opinion in regard to the performance. Such reviews may be lengthy and informative on other aspects of the recording, although this is not necessarily the case, as the symbol is also used for brief, noncomittal reviews that merely report the contents. To indicate reviews which contain unusually valuable background information, another symbol J has been used. It is given at the end of the citation. These two symbols may be found applied to the same review.

Citations of reviews are sometimes followed by parenthetical qualifications. Where the citation is given but once, the parenthetical information may identify the reviewer or indicate that critical consideration is limited to only a portion of the material described in the entry. In other instances, the same review is cited twice with different symbols and different parenthetical information. This device is used to bring out distinctions between the evaluations given by the reviewer of various pieces included in the recording or between the per- formances of two participants.
