Re: [ARSCLIST] Egmont Records info needed

["Copeland, Peter" <Peter.Copeland@xxxxx>]

Dear All,
    I may be able to help offline; I have been collecting Egmont records for
a rather odd reason. They were pressed in Britain by the British Homophone
factory in south London, which was quite the worst pressing-plant in
Britain. And the combination of classical music and British Homophone
pressing seems mutually incompatible! My home email address is :

    I am attempting similar work with a number of other British and American
record-companies, so I'd be pleased if this listserv can come up with any
specific rules. To set the ball rolling, may I mention the Tchaikovsky
Violin Concerto with Oistrakh as the soloist, and conducted by Gauk? This
has been reissued in Britain on no less than six labels, because the Soviet
Union was all too happy to plug Soviet material at the time, and in any case
it had no copyright laws.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Egmont Records info needed

I recently was given a collection of Classical LPs that includes some
records on Egmont, which is a British label from the 50's or 60's.

They seem to be pseudonymous and I was wondering if anyone could help
identify the real players.

The records are Tchaikovsky's PATHETIQUE with the Odessa
Phillharmonic and Rudolf Bodenheim
        Beethoven Violin Concerto with Marcu Belayeff w. Odessa PO
cond, Vassili Shiveski
        Bach Piano Recital w. Stephen McKinnon
        Bach Brandenburg No. 5 and the 2 Violin Concerto Essen PO/
Michael Schwarz
        Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 (listed on label and jacket as
23) and Piano Sonata in A K331 w. Maria Beretta, Madrid Pro Arte w
George Dufours.

Thank you for any help which you can offer.

Eric Goldberg
