Dear Robert, One way to gather up a discography would be to use the World Catalogue.
http://worldcat.org/searchbox/searchbox.jsp?ai=Arthur_Arthur_Ness If you put in "lute," you'll get 10,000 hits. But in the left margin are some limiters. Click on "Sound Recordings" and all the inappropriate entries will be removed. I think you'll get about 4,000 hits, which will include solo CDs, and earlier musics. You can further limit the items by composer aor performer. When you click on an item, a number of tabs will appear. Click on "Details" to get a listing of pieces on the CD. If you want additional information, click on the "Library" tab and click on one of the libraries to see their on-line entry, which will usually be more detailed than the WorldCat entry. Another method of entry would be to enter "trios lute" (without the quotes), then "quartets lute," "suites lute" "duets flute lute" By the way, I could not find the Kowalska-Birula CDs that Matthias mentioned. (It's not even in the Polish National Library.) If you sell your own CDs, it would be wise to give a few copies to academic libraries so that they get into databases like the World Catalogue (aka OCLC). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Clair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lute List" <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 2:58 PM Subject: [LUTE] Baroque Lute Discography Help Requested. > I'm editing an issue of the LSA Quarterly and I'm > trying to assemble > a discography of CD's that have baroque lute chamber > music. > > For my purposes, define "baroque lute ensemble music" > as music for > more than one instrument, where one at least one of > the instruments > is a baroque lute doing something *other* than playing > continuo. > > For each CD I need > > 1) CD Title > 2) Lutenist > 3) Composers represented. > 4) Label > > To avoid cluttering up the list please send replies to > > ensemble (at) elroberto (dot) com > > Thanks... > > Bob Clair > > > > > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html >
