Classical Music Historic Recording Guide/Lists ?

PAINTING: "Design for a Satie Museum"

Mates,

In the thread below concerning Chopin Ballades recordings, Chris from Lafayette mentioned a list on albany.edu :

http://www.albany.edu/~rshaf

-that includes useful lists of recordings with label and dates for Chopin, Beethoven Sonatas and Symphonies, Bach's Well-Tempura-ed Clapperchord, some operas, and an interesting chronological list of conductors of U.S. orchestras.

I like this kind of list very much!

I used to use old Schwann catalogues to learn who recorded what, but I would dearly love a guide like the albany.edu one that was extensive or comprehensive and cross- indexed for performers, ensembles, conductors, label, and etc. The inclusion of commentary is not necessary, but not unwelcome.

Although I did an amazon.com search- perhaps using the wrong keywords I was unable to find an extensive or comprehensive guides to Classical recordings of this kind. I saw only selected guides to the "Best" by such luminaries as Jim Svedja, a man who thinks James Horner and Whozzits Williams are important modern composers because they use violins and made a lot of money.


Thanks!

Cheers,

Bambi B
