Thanks again, too, for the Haydn Quartets by the Hungarian Quartet. I love the Haydn Quartets--right from Op.1 -- and listen to them all the time, so I always am happy to find a good performance of which I was previously unaware.Lawrence Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377066810131464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810092376954007202.post-72040159643386164012010-03-14T10:49:11.538-07:002010-03-14T10:49:11.538-07:00Lawrence,

North (The Scarecrow Press, 2008).<br />Generally, I try to find discographic information in online databases, such as libraries catalogues (British Library, Library of Congress, NY Public Library, and French National Linbrary), or in more specific discographies (cf. http://charm.kcl.ac.uk/ or http://www.dismarc.org/)Benoîthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395917336888031399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810092376954007202.post-5494260326390956832010-03-14T08:47:17.217-07:002010-03-14T08:47:17.217-07:00Benoît: Thanks for the information on the recordin...Benoît: Thanks for the information on the recordings and your kind comments. Where do you get your discographic information? Quartier des Archives has excellent information of that type, and I seem always to be floundering to get the most basic of it. <br /><br />Fred: Yes, I did know of Fiedler's fire fighting passion. I grew up in Boston, and lived there until 18 years ago; I remember a Parade magazine cover story in the Globe devoted to Fiedler (wish I'd kept it) showing photos of him with his memorabilia from various fire departments around the country. <br /><br />He used to conduct the opening performances of Nutcracker for the Boston Ballet, and the ballerinas I knew then said he like to pinch their bums. Quite a character, as well as a very fine musician.Lawrence Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377066810131464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810092376954007202.post-62532887504343283012010-03-14T03:48:02.509-07:002010-03-14T03:48:02.509-07:00Well. there is more "Arthur Fiedler Sinfoniet...Well. there is more "Arthur Fiedler Sinfonietta" out there. Fine orchestra mad up of Boston's superb freelance community and BSO moonlighters. Did you know that Fiedler had an abolute passion for Fire fighting? He often work blazers with fired dept logos and he possessed an extraordinary collection of fire dept helmets!Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877039819215830724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810092376954007202.post-60229274140766198792010-03-13T23:42:54.759-08:002010-03-13T23:42:54.759-08:00Thanks, Lawrence, for this upload (and for your bl...Thanks, Lawrence, for this upload (and for your blog)!<br /><br />E. Power Biggs and A. Fiedler actually recorded 4 Handel's organ concertos for RCA in the 78rpm era:<br />- Nos. 2, 10 and 11 on April 13, 1939 (Harvard's Germanic Museum, Cambridge)<br />- No. 13 on March 17, 1940 (ibid.)<br /><br />BenoitBenoîthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395917336888031399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810092376954007202.post-10313798753097374732010-03-13T16:32:18.266-08:002010-03-13T16:32:18.266-08:00Thanks Fred,
