Re: [ARSCLIST] Symphonic Digital Programs
The Philadelphia Orchestra's broadcast archives are in storage with us.
There is no systematic digitzation being under taken. Only as-called.
About 20 years ago a large portion of the collection (mostly from the
Ormandy era) were digitized to...
(I'm not making this up, folks) 14-bit PCM-F1 with VHS tape.
The VHS-F1 tapes went to the University of Pennsylvania Ormandy
Archive, where I've heard they have since been migrated. I don't
know what format, or how they did the playback. I think it was
student labor.

Another set resides in a private collection. As to how much of >
this has been digitized, I can't say. Not much is digitised. I
visited Carol Jacobs, their archivist, last summer and when she
showed me the audio archive room it was still all 10.5" reels. I
asked about digitisation and she said very little is. If it's needed
for release, then it's digitised. Cheers, Lani Spahr
