there are several sound archives listed on the web - some in french, spanish and german - which may prove useful.
without resorting to entrance fees, etc., does anyone on the list have access to any of these? i repeat that recordings of the lute/guitar instrument popular in germany before the war should be plentiful and could prove useful as the playing technique for these shouldn't have differed greatly from the lute proper. ethnic recordings of ouds and such convinces me that music on the lute family of instruments in europe during the medieval period and subsequent "folk" renditions of early music which followed later, sounded pretty much the same. if anyone has audio documentation to prove me wrong, please let me know. i'd be delighted to hear it. pax - bill --- doc rossi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There have been plans to digitize some wax > cylinders from the archives > > of > > the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences by the > facilities of the Library of > > Congress, and a few have been indeed done, but the > venture didn't find > > financing to do the entire colection. > > RT > > The Berlin Archive produced a collection called > Music! which includes > wax cylinder and other early recordings.
