Organization/Explanation of Discography

T his is a basic discography listing individual works first by category, then in alphabetical order by composer, and then by title, opus or catalog number. We have used a concise format to enable the data for each item to appear on the screen without the need to scroll horizontally. To achieve this, much of the information is in abbreviated form (see list of abbreviations for orchestras and choirs and recording sources). Eventually, the list will be expanded to include more detailed information about record albums, matrix numbers, etc. Many of the recordings have appeared and continue to appear in various manifestations. For present purposes the source listed is the original or earliest that could be determined.

F or standardization purposes we have used the original form in listing titles (e.g. Prodana Nevesta rather than Bartered Bride). However, individual items are listed in the language in which they are sung (usually German), with the original and more familiar titles in parenthesis. We have also used the native form when listing accompanying orchestras and choirs (i.e. Wiener Philharmoniker, not Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra).

I tems listed in italic print are recordings known to have been made. We have not been able to verify that copies survive.

W e wish to acknowledge the use made of the discography compiled by Dennis Brew and published in the Record Collector, xix (1970-71), 209-222, and the recently published (2001) Discographie der deutschen Gesangaufnahmen Band III, edited by Rainer E. Lotz, Axel Weggen and Christian Zwarg, and published by Birgit Lotz Verlag, Bonn.
