Melvin, I am nearly 100% certain that his piece has never been recorded (if it has, it must be on some privately produce production that has eluded me). Naxos has released at least one CD of his music, but nothing horn related.
Back when I started to take private lessons, ca. 1960, I studied with Art Goldstein (Prof. Schmutzig - grand uncle of and spiritual godfather to I.M. Gestopftmitscheiss) and he assigned some pieces by Levy for me to study. I believe that Levy played cello at Radio City while Goldstein was there, though their connection may have been through the Chicago Symphony (we're talking memories over 4 1/2 decades old here, so I am less than sure). Cor Publishing was Art's outfit and it published all of the Levy tunes. I don't think Art is still actively involved (I assume that he is still alive, lacking any other information) but I do recall that the Cor catalog was taken in by some other operation not too many years back (just checked; it's Wiltshire Music Co. and seems to still be carrying the Cor titles). I'm sure this is of no help in finding a recording, but maybe it will be of interest anyway, Regards, Peter Hirsch message: 5 date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 17:20:39 -0700 from: "Melvin Baldwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> subject: [Hornlist] Levy Suite Hi everyone, I bought the "Suite for Flute, Horn and Harpsichord" by Frank Levy quite a few years back. Now, I'm considering actually working on it. Does anyone know of a recording available? Also, the music I purchased is in handwritten manuscript-has it been reprinted recently?
