Description
A true collector's item! Musik des Orients, 20 ethnic music recordings on 10 records from the early 20th century. A collection of music from China, Bali, Java, Siam, Tunis, Egypt, Persia. Four recordings on the Parlophon label, the remainder on the Odeon label. Made in Germany, 1931.
On behalf of the Carl Lindström A. G. Kulturabteilung, Erich von Hornbostel ,one of the first ethno-musicologists, produced a 12-record (24 recordings) set of early 20th century Oriental Ethnic music. He wrote an accompanying 26-page booklet, one page for each recording, with photographs of the musicians and a description of the musical context, the scales and the instruments. Unfortunately the collection offered here is missing recordings 3 & 4 (Japan) and 17 & 18 (India). The booklet is included.
Condition: 10" records generally in very good condition, showing very little wear, V+ to E-, some surface marks that may slightly affect the sound. One of the records #14- Bali has some marks on the center cardboard, a photo of that is included. (I am not a collector or any kind of expert in grading old records. I have not played these records, the latest they were played would have been around 1970, and possibly much earlier.) This collection belonged to a musician/professor, and I believe he used this set for one of his lectures. The booklet is complete and intact, the pages show some edge wear and discoloration, and a few faint pencil marks on some of the pages.
Records will be well packed in a sturdy box with plenty of stuffing material. These records are irreplaceable so if I have to spend more to ship them safely I will do so.
Please contact me if you have questions or would like additional information.
