Re: [ARSCLIST] Columbia Harmony was: Met Opera Record Club
I have some Entres,but no Leinsdorfs.A couple of these are pretty good.I didn't know this,thanks.This would make a lot of sense.I find it very odd,that Columbia would issue Concert Hall Society stuff.It certainly shows the freewheeling liscencing that existed in the 50s and 60s.And yes,I am aware CHS continued to exist in France and Germany,well into the 70s,having bought a number of these on eBay,including a most unusual 1959 German CHS Lp of Rock and Roll by The Golden Gate Quartet,which was not issued in any other form as far as I know.

Leinsdorf/Rochester Philharmonic records to which he refers (HL 7054, Mozart/Schubert; HL
7171, Haydn/Mendelssohn) were first issued on Entre, Columbia's circa 1953
medium-priced label. There were no full-priced Columbia releases. I'm sorry that I
don't have the Entre numbers at hand.
The Leinsdorf/Rochester series on Entre contained more records, including a
highly-praised Beethoven Eroica. I own one and must say that it's an
excellent performance.
Roger's post contained information about a lot of Harmony LPs I knew
nothing about. Thanks.
The Dame Myra Hess Schubert recordings, by the way, were recorded around
1928 for Columbia's "Schubert Centennial" observation.
