Ansermet Discography

[Jerry]

Stumbled on this Ansermet discography (in Italian) that
looks about as good as any I've seen.

http://www.scona.ch/ansermet/discografia.php

There may be some minor errors (e.g. I believe the
Prokofiev Cinderella was only Suites 1 and 2 and was never
the full ballet, as suggested here).

Wasn't sure if there are any better ones out there.

Mine is more acurate and has the dates based upon the Decca file
cards.

I had it online for a while . I took it down to finish it as I only
had it finished till 1962. I wil, finish it this weekend and post it.
It will only be the Decca recordings with the SRO for now. The
recordings with other orchestras do not matter as explained by
Ansermet in an interview

On a website, I may hope?

In that case it is not the Ansermet discography.

What London Recordings. The ones with the LSO and LPO. No, they don't
matter as much as the ones with the SRO, if at all, according to
Ansermet

When I said Decca I meant Decca/London

[Rolf]

By the way, I have a 45 with Weber - Jubel overture and Beethoven
Leonore.
Do you know when this was recorded/issued?
Rolf

[ansermetniac]

I have that too but mine has the Corolian. The jubel was never relased
in th US probobaly recorded 1960. leonore # 2 was recrded in 1960 #3
in 1958 #3 was never released in the USA

Sounds like a good and methodical way to proceed.

Oh well, I still enjoy some of the LSO/LPO things. I guess I'm
surprised Ansermet disavowed them.

Looking forward to your SRO discography, in any case, thanks in advance.

the 1949 version with the SRO is a hundred times better. Man for man,
on pape,r the SRO maybe cannot match the LPO but when Ansermet is
conducting they do, by giving Ansermet exactly and everything he needs

What a nonsense. More than 12 times better is not possible (Stravinsky, Abbado,
Davis, Boulez come close).
