Eugene Ormandy, The Philadelphia Orchestra – The Columbia Legacy

Note by Producer Robert Russ on the Credit Page (p. 206) of the accompanying book.

 

To cover the Philadelphia Orchestra’s history of mono recordings on Columbia Masterworks, we decided to also include recordings conducted by Alexander Hilsberg, Eugene Ormandy’s associate conductor (1945–1952), as well as recordings by the guest conductors Sir Thomas Beecham, Saul Caston, Charles O’Connell, Harl McDonald, André Kostelanetz, Virgil Thomson and Bruno Walter. The listener can also enjoy recordings by the Philadelphia “Pops” Orchestra, as well as some made by the so-called Columbia Symphony Orchestra in sessions in which its players consisted mainly of “Philadelphians”.

In a few instances we have also included repertoire recorded by other conductors such as Dimitri Mitropoulos, Serge Koussevitzky, George Szell or Fritz Reiner with “their” orchestras when we felt the listener might find enjoyment in hearing the complete repertoire of an original LP release.

It was common, especially in the early days of lacquer disc and tape recording, to make musical cuts of a few bars up to whole segments, mainly to make the repertoire fit on a disc side.

This present edition of 120 remastered CDs has been entirely created and assembled during the worldwide Covid-19 virus pandemic of 2020. Owing to the closures of archives and travel restrictions, we have been limited in our on-site research for further 78rpm covers and historic photos or facsimiles. – Robert Russ
