Gramophone Recording Artist - Diary entries
Details of Rachmaninoff’s acoustic recording sessions have been compiled from Barrie Martyn’s book, Rachmaninoff: Composer, Pianist, Conductor (Scolar Press: London, 1990, pp. 453-497). Martyn’s useful codification was indicated by: the letter “m” for when a take was approved for mastering; with “m*” when approved but later re-recorded and not released; and the letter “h” when a take was held over for possible release. These details have been incorporated here. All of Rachmaninoff’s first 10 recordings for Edison were given release. Later ones, unless indicated, were recorded by Victor.
April 2 1921
Rachmaninoff's role: Gramophone Recording
Notes: While Martyn lists the venue of this recording as New York (p. 493), given the concert the previous evening and then the same evening in Philadelphia one wonders if the location was in fact Camden, NJ.
