Well, my ISP sorted out the problem with mediafire, so I was able to update my site last weekend. This includes, as promised, a selection of recordings by the soprano Lilian Stiles-Allen, Hamilton Harty’s recordings of Schubert’s Rosamunde music (including both overtures), Henry Wood’s electrical recordings of the Unfinished Symphony, from 1926 and 1933, the English winners of Columbia’s Schubert competition (Merrick’s Two Movements in Symphonic Form, a completion of the Unfinished Symphony, and John St. Anthony Johnson’s Pax Vobiscum) conducted by Stanford Robinson. and a selection from Lilac Time, arranged from Schubert, conducted by George W Byng.

And in the week since then, I’ve transferred a Columbia 78 of vocal gems from Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl. This late 1920s recording features Miriam Licette, Francis Russell, Dennis Noble and Harry Brindle, with the chorus and orchestra conducted by Charles Prentice.
