Re: [ARSCLIST] Discography questions

[Punto <punto@xxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

The NYPL catalog lists this record with the Roth Quartet as the 
personnel playing. I see lots of errors in our catalog, but mostly typos 
and not wholesale misidentification. I didn't get a chance to go into 
the stacks to double check, but I'd put money on the Roths. I have some 
old Haydn Society discs of early Haydn string quartets (opus 2) that the 
Schneider Quartet perform on. At the time of the recording the members 
were Alexander Schneider and Isidore Cohen - violins, Karen Tuttle - 
viola and Herman Busch - cello. Pretty classy group.

Cheers,

Peter Hirsch
