Yesterday I was reading The Gramophone's review of this LP as I was looking at recordings of music by John Ansell. And today you post it :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I traced this yesterday in W.A.Chislett's section - he liked it - but the Ansell isn't my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the band played in a similar style in the 1920's..
BTW -have Liza Lehmann's 'In a Persian Garden' in the 1917 album. Luckily - this has been commercially released: it looks like bits of Berliner's were re-used in my set!
Great stuff. Many thanks, as usual, for some rarities n/a for years.
