PAINTING: "Design for a Study for Gesualdo"

Chris From Lafayette,

Yes, after various Library of Congress, Google searches I believe you're right that the best method to learn about the various recordings is to search by individual composer and/or performer, conductor, etc. There is always at least one person so keen on an artist they will document everything.

As an example, I'm very fond of the keyboard music of J.J. Froberger and as he's not exactly a household name- even a lot of early keyboard fans don't know his music and it's importance, I tried a Google search of "Froberger Discography" and one result of 2,340 was:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/froberger.htm

-and this seems to be a very good list- at least it lists twice as many recordings than I know of.

However, I was not so lucky in quickly finding a similar list for John Dowland- a comparative popular superstar to Froberger- it seems to take some wading through and probably more refined techniques to limit/define searches.

I've thought to buy a nice thick binder and beginning a compilation of printed-out lists of this kind for certain composers, performers, and by instrument.

Probably, the subject is just too large and too prone to repetition, error, and revision to make any attempt at a comprehensive list attractive.

So, the Web delivers as usual -everything is available and varying in quality! One need only find the perfectly obsessed fan!

Thanks C from L and thanks all!

Cheers,

Bambi B
