Re: [ARSCLIST] Scarlatti Orchestra: Info needed please



A friend in Hong Kong has e-mailed her friend at NYU and I'll probably have the liner notes by tomorrow. Ain't the Internet wonderful? I haven't set foot in a reference library in eight years.

The version shown in the 1963 catalog was probably the standard one by that time, but Angel (and Westminster) issued albums in "thrift" editions with generic covers as well as the more elaborate ones. I don't know why anyone ever thought that was a good idea.

The January 1963 Capitol/Angel Catalog shows a thumbnail picture of the non-generic cover, but it doesn't offer any additional information. Presumably, the latter cover version did include some more specific liner notes.

WorldCat (www.worldcat.org) shows copies if the LP in 50 libraries:

The catalog at Western Washington University shows:

Note: Program notes in English by Giulio Confalónieri on container.
Performers: Sidney Gallesi, oboe (1st work) ; Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti ; Franco Caracciolo, conductor.
Note: First work arr. by Arthur Benjamin from selected numbers of the 32 sonatas for keyboard. Cf. Notes, 2d ser., v. 12, no. 4 (Sep. 1955) p. 536. Third work compiled and orchestrated by Felix Mottl, from excerpts taken from Lully operas and court ballets.


So apparently there were liner notes (by Giulio Confalónieri) on the later pressing/printing.

I'll bet an e-mail to the librarian at WWU could get you a scan of those notes.


And here's what the catalog at Rutgers shows:
