The World's Encyclopedia of Recorded Music Hardcover – January 1, 1952
by G.J. Cuming Francis F. Clough (Author)

The 1951 World's Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music (WERM) with its two supplements is an exhaustive listing of classical music recordings on electric 78s and monaural LPs, the result of heroic efforts by its two authors, F. F. Clough and G. J. Cuming.

Publisher Sidgwick and Jackson; First Edition / First Printing (January 1, 1952)
Language English

"My relatively slight. involvement in a 'similar publication' serves only to increase my basic admiration for the job that Messrs. Clough and Cuming are doing. WERM aims to report the existence (or the prior existence) of as many recordings in as many issues as possible, but does not attempt to express any qualitative opinions on those discs. RR's main justification is exactly this qualitative aspect, expressed through the indexing of reviews and the reduction to symbols of the opinions of the reviewers. The assembling and analysis of so many reviews takes so much time that the descriptive element in the entries not infrequently is slighted. MIr. Myers is forced to depend on the reviewers for the contents of a record, and since reviewers are notably casual in this regard, the result can on occasion leave something to be desired. If an entry seems particularly obscure, the editor tries to do some last minute patching, but it is a rare installment when time permits the checking of as many as five percent of the entries.

With WERM, on the other hand, the exact determination of what is on a record is of primary importance. Aside from the fact that this is its principal reason for existence, it would in any case be essential in a dictionary catalog in order to bring the wilder descriptions of contents supplied by manufacturers into a sensible schematization of a composer's works. For a virtuoso example of the technique, examine the section in the Third Supplement devoted to the Loeillets, and compare it with any other discography in existence. The listing goes back to pre-1936 releases and comes down to early 1956, with each work-even single movements when necessary-neatly and clearly identified. Anyone who has attempted to track down correct titles from the ridiculously inadequate, not to say flagrantly inaccurate, information supplied by performers (and passed on by manufacturers) will greet this demonstration of skill and pertinacity with loud huzzas.

This constant attention to detail seems to run throughout the book. I hunted up quite a number of the entries that had given me trouble, and invariably the correct solution was given. There were, of course, differences. C & C ran down all the movements in Marais' synthetic 'Suite in D minor' as performed by Doktor and Valenti on Westminster WN18088, but did not note that less than half the variations in one of the movements, 'Couplets des Folies d'Espagne,' were actually played. And where I had indicated that the Augustana Choir sang Britten's 4 Ceremony of Carols complete on Word W4005, they noted that only Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6. and 10 had been performed-and then slipped up unaccountably by omitting three other titles on the disc in their analytics. The almost endless time needed for running down such details in quantity-time that never shows up in the neat, corrected entries-gives me a deep respect for the publication that no one who has not sweated through similar identifications could feel.

Another sharp difference between WERM and RR is to be found in the ground they cover. RR is limited intentionally to discs that have been released in the United States, whereas WERM lists the releases of all accessible 'Western' nations-including Australia. Some rather extensive checking throughout the original volume and all three supplements led me to a conclusion which at first I simply could not believe. Vast as this difference in approach would appear, it actually ends by making relatively little difference. We are apparently far better served in this country by our multiplicity of record companies than is any other country in the world-bar none!-and the quantity of recordings originating here or released subsequently from foreign tapes tops that available elsewhere by a very large amount. Take, for example, such a 'war horse' as the Mendelssohn E minor violin concerto, op. 64. WERM lists 33 recordings (some of which are early 78rpm releases), and all but six of them have been or are now available here; and generally the six that are missing are performances by Danish or Swiss violinists with only a local reputation.

In general, the picture is very similar with regard to major composers, both early and late. Where we begin to miss out badly is with such relatively minor early composers as Abel, Benda, Michel de la Barre, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Claude Le Jeune, Clementi, Dittersdorf, Hotteterre, and the like. And the situation is sometimes even more acute with modern composers still chiefly appreciated in their home countries-see, for examples, the entries under Jose Ardevol, Malcolm Arnold, Auric, Ben-Haim, Badings, Bliss, Casella, and Jolivet. Clearly, there are times when it becomes almost essential to know that the only recording by some such composer may be had in Cuba or Denmark; and although the lack of knowledge may not be quite so devastating, occasions may certainly arise when-with 17 recordings of music by Dowland available here-it becomes important to know that three others may be imported from England. I doubt if many people will be tempted to import any of those six missing Mendelssohn violin concertos, but surely there will often be times when, if only for statistical reasons, it will be useful to know that they exist.

In short, even if a 'world' catalog is likely to be needed here less often than in a country with fewer recordings of its own, still such a catalog has many uses for us as well, and its purchase by all libraries that take their record collections seriously seems indicated. I feel certain that none of them will regret the expenditure. RICHARD S. HILL

Quick noteon grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
