PermalinkIk ben in bezit van de Nederlandse LP Chopin op CNR sklp 4101.
De hoes en de plaat zelf zijn nog las nieuw.
Heeft u interesse?
Met vriendelijke groet,
John van Luijn
I was a pupil of Jan Smeterlin (living in the UK) and have recently started
to play concerts again after many years away from performance. Recently, the
whole of my record collection was lost while in storage, including LPs and
tapes of Smeterlin. I now want very much to find fresh copies of all that
may still be available of these.
The records which were commercially issued which I know about are the
1 Philips LP (1955) of complete Chopin Nocturnes (2 disks A00256/7). This
was re-issued on 2 CDs and deleted again in about 1997. I do not at the
moment have the number of the re-issue.
2 RCA Victor LP LBC 1076 Smeterlin plays Johannes Brahms, including the
Paganini Variations and Variations on an Original Theme.
3 CNR (a Dutch company) LP (S) KLP 4101 issued in about 1963/4 of Chopin
Waltzes and Mazurkas.
4 Gallaxy Series Allegro 3042 Chopin mixed programme including Barcarolle,
Berceuse, 2 Etudes, Scherzo in C minor etc.
I am not sure who made the Allegro label, or where or when this was issued,
though I understand it was an LP. If anyone can tell me more about this
company and recording I would be very interested.
I also had some tapes of BBC broadcasts made in 1959/60. These included a
performance of the Chopin B flat minor Sonata, which I fear I shall never
hear again as the BBC, as is their vandalous custom, appear to have
destroyed most if not all their tapes of Smeterlin (and they must have had
many) and there is also no copy at the British Sound Archives (though they
do have one or two others tapes from broadcasts).
I understand that there were also a number of privately made recordings of
Smeterlin (e.g. Harvard Musical Association concert from 1966 and Chopin
Piano Concerto in F minor with Koussevitzky and Boston Symphony from 1936)
which were around in the United States at least until a little time ago.
I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has, or knows of the
whereabouts of, any copy of any of the above, or who knows of any other
recordings or tapes which exist of Smeterlin. I anyone has any relevant
information, please either post it or send me a direct e-mail.
Thanks!
