Phonograph Monthly Review, Vol. 3, No. 2 (1928-11)

52 The Phonograph Monthly Review November, 1928 The Recorded Works of Franz Schubert Note: The following list is subdivided under the headings of “Orchestral/’ “Chamber Music,” “Piano,” “Songs—Al- bum Sets and Separately,” etc. Song transcriptions for piano, violin, or other instruments may be found under the instrumental classification. Acoustical works (marked with an asterisk—*) have been listed only when they are of special merit or historical interest, or when they have not yet been re-recorded. A number of records of the more popular songs or small instrumental pieces by minor artists have not been listed. Omissions are of course inevitable, but every effort has been made to include all the significant Schubert recordings. Many of the records given here with the order numbers of European companies are likely soon to be re-pressed in this country under the labels of the affiliated American companies and with new numbers. Consequently, before ordering one of the foreign works, care should be taken to see that it has not been re-pressed by a domestic company since this list was compiled. All works, except those starred, are electrically recorded. Unless otherwise noted, vocal works are sung in Ger- man. The number in parenthesis following the order number of album sets denotes the number of parts (record sides) occupied by the work. All songs occupy a single record side. (The solitary exception is “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen” which is recorded in two parts.)
