LP Record collection, Composer = L - Moy

If you arrived at this page looking for a particular classical music piece so you could listen to it and find out what it sounds like, Tips for Searching for Music on the Internet has a list of websites and other resources that might help you find what you're looking for.

If you are searching for hard to find information about classical music or early 1900's popular music and you didn't find it here, that same Tips for Searching page might help you continue your search. Its sections are search engine tips, searching the "invisible" web, music search resources visible and invisible, and how to find album contents information, track timings, liner notes and background information, lyrics, scores and sheet music, audio files, music analysis, commentary and reviews, and where to identify the source of a classical music theme.

What is this page?

This set of web pages presents data from the RECORDS.MDB classical record collection database as CSV (Comma Separated Values) plain text. It has the contents of record albums, record company ID#s, and my brief reviews and comments about the composers, compositions, and performances.

If this jumble of text looks like the type of information you were looking for, this 420 KB file tracksforbrowsingandsearching.zip has the information from all these pages neatly formatted into a single table. The full unzipped table is nearly 7 MB, too big to put on a single web page because no one would wait for it to load. Unzip it and open the .htm file with your browser.

The project download section of RECORDS.MDB has this data in a tab delimited plain text format that should import properly into Excel or other spreadsheet or database programs. Lastly, if you download the RECORDS.MDB database itself, all this data is in it.

4,Mahler,Symphony 01 In D Major,,The London Philharmonic Orchestra,Sir Adrian Boult,,Skillful & well-orchestrated sound painting (romantic programme music) of pastoral setting, with drama; portions familiar; in spite of obvious Beethoven influence, he goes overboard in outdoing him in density, and the result is over-busy, (see memo),over-dramatic, and overwrought; a great work that's not much fun to listen to.

2,Malcolm Arnold,Guitar Concerto, Op. 67,,The Melos Ensemble,Malcolm Arnold,Julian Bream, Guitarist,20th century, shows influence of Stravinsky, Gershwin; interesting & engaging, though in places seems a bit thin (single-note melody passages); 1st mvmt = R1.,,,33,405

4,Malipiero,String Quartet 4,,Quartetto Italiano,,,Modern chromatic, energetic phrases with each instrument seeming to go its own way; one section with instrumental screeching sounds like a cat fight at a railroad yard with locomotives lumbering by; surprisingly not unlistenable; similar to the Prokofiev.,,,33,367

1,Mendelssohn,Octet Op.20,,Academy Of St. Martin-In-The-Fields,,,Comparable in quality & often in mood to MSND; the instrumental parts are unusually independent, not a solo against a background. Kept out "for now".,,,33,1943

3,Mendelssohn,Piano Trio 1 In D Minor, Op. 49,Piano Trios,The Beaux Arts Trio,,,Possibly among his most pleasant & interesting; still has a transparent boring straightforwardness, but less of it than usual; almost R2; cheerful with a scherzo similar to MSND.,,,33,1746

4,Mendelssohn,Piano/Cello Sonata 2 In D, Op. 58,The Art Of Emanuel Feuermann,,,Emanuel Feuermann, Cello; Franz Rupp, Piano,Pretty good for Mendelssohn, but it is still trivial melodies scored lazily without interesting subtleties; instruments mostly trade the lead; Feuermann's attack is similar to Kreisler.,,Vic-1476,33,2102

4,Mendelssohn,Sextet Op 110,,Guilet String Quartet,,,Lots of good qualities, including abundance of prettiness, but lacks tension, suspense, interest, or any other reason to listen to it; how can such a nicely constructed piece be so boring?
