{"product_id":"the-philadelphia-orchestra-9798216291855","title":"The Philadelphia Orchestra","description":"The Philadelphia Orchestra is the most-recorded orchestra in the United States, and its recordings have contributed much to its reputation as “The World’s Greatest Orchestra.” In The Philadelphia Orchestra: An Annotated Discography, Richard A. Kaplan documents more than 2,000 commercial recordings made by the Philadelphia Orchestra over almost a century. The discography contains a chronological list of recordings, detailing works performed, conductors, soloists, dates, venues, producers, and matrix information for 78-rpm recordings. Each entry lists all issues of the recordings, including 78- and 45-rpm discs, long-playing records, and compact discs. The discography documents for the first time the recordings made by Columbia on sixteen-inch lacquer discs during the 1940s and ‘50s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpening with an overview of the Orchestra's relationships with recording companies and the search for suitable recording venues, chapters cover anonymously and pseudonymously-published recordings, including those of the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra of Philadelphia, the experimental 1931-32 Bell Labs recordings, videos and movies in which the Philadelphia Orchestra performed, live recordings, and recordings of ensembles of the Philadelphia Orchestra. A separate chapter lists live-concert downloads made available directly through the Philadelphia Orchestra Association. Appendixes cross-reference the recordings by composer, conductor, and soloists; a final appendix lists the many Philadelphia Orchestra LP collections published by Columbia and RCA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for collectors, scholars, and anyone interested in recording history and the history of the Philadelphia Orchestra.","brand":"ThinkEDU","offers":[{"title":"Perpetual","offer_id":59928868421918,"sku":"9798216291855","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180 Day Option","offer_id":59928868454686,"sku":"9798216291855R180","price":87.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"365 Day Option","offer_id":59928868487454,"sku":"9798216291855R365","price":101.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4435\/9966\/files\/1024_5e854932-7130-4866-8271-ef2ffa407437.jpg?v=1789070377","url":"https:\/\/thinkedu.com\/products\/the-philadelphia-orchestra-9798216291855","provider":"ThinkEDU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
