What records do you burn out on? In a good way!

Post by MicaMonster »

Have you ever had that 78 that you find yourself listening to OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN!?!?!? Today, for me, that is Victor 22191, both sides by Del Staigers (on cornet) backed by the Goldman Band. WOW! Before this, it was SUNDAY by the Goldkette Orch. :-)

Nat Shilkret's version of Am I Blue. Those hot stomping solos get me every time. This is definately one record to show off the Credenza. BTW Sunday is also a great record. That is in the regular rotation.

I am mainly interested in classical recordings by the great opera singers, but I have a liking for Franklyn Baur's voice and find myself buying every 78 of his that I see.

also, Shilkret's Doll Dance and Flapperette and a record that I loved many years ago and have found again, John Steel's version of "The Love Nest"

I have a really neat arrangement of "The Saint Louis Blues" by Leroy Smith and his orchastra on a Victor VE I dig out and play about once a month.

Oskar Isaevich Kamionsky: My lips are silent (УСТА МОИ МОЛЧАТ), written by the composer Yuli Ivanovich Bleichmann (G&T 2-22720, St. Petersburg 1905)

Here is a nice interpretation of this song by Lev Sibiryakov, of c. 1906, but Kamionsky is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMKjxrYI7Bk

I don't play it so often, but liked it very much from first hearing.

I have been playing the Diamond Disc of The Merry Wives of Windsor Overture played by Cesare Sodero and the American Symphony Orchestra ( the Edison pick-up band) since I was ten years old. It's a marvelous reading of the work and I credit it for getting me hooked on classical music. Hence it was the first step to my present day life in the arts, so it has a lot to answer for, in a good way I hope. And I played it yet again just last week.
