St. Anne de Beupre on Victor
Can anyone tell me if this was the first CLASSICAL organ recording issued by Victor? I’m working this piece up for a recital

Re: St. Anne de Beupre on Victor
People have different ideas of what constitutes 'classical' music.
EDVR is a good resource if you don't know of it. I've narrowed down the search results to organ recordings.

Re: St. Anne de Beupre on Victor
There are some His Master's Voice recordings, dating from as early as 1911, of organ pieces played by the British light-music composer Easthope Martin; they include Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the 'Cuckoo and Nightingale' movement from Handel's F major organ concerto arranged as a solo piece, and various display pieces of the French romantic school. I have no idea whether Victor took these up for circulation in the United States. The instrument seems to be a respectable though small organ with two manuals and a pedal-board.
