RECORDINGS BY NICOLAI GOLOVANOV Compiled by Brendan Wehrung

The "Russian Furtwaengler" remains almost entirely unknown to record collectors of the West. Vagaries of sound reproduction, political climate and record distribution confined his admirers to a relative handful until the advent of the compact disc. This listing is offered as partial remedy for his neglect; it is by no means complete, but consists of recordings discovered in a close reading of The World's Encyclopedia of Recorded Music, and what has appeared in digital format (researched on the Internet). Others exist in Russian catalogs and radio archives.

KEY TO RECORD NUMBERS

78RPM All numbers in this column are various issues of Soviet Melodia, with the exception of 40000 series (Supraphon) and H 23000 (Ultraphon)

Microgroove The first listing is usually the Soviet Melodia releases (mostly with D prefix), taken from Brian Rust’s book on Melodia recordings or WERM, followed by verious Western series: 200 (Kingsway), 3000 and CE (Classic Editions), 01480.87 (Akrola, URSS), CLRP (Coloseum), LD and LDX (Chante du Monde), LP 9001 (Argentine MusicHall), LPA (Coloseum), MWL (Monitor), RS (Rachmaninoff Society), VIC (JVC), VRS (Vanguard). XWN (Westminster) These were obtained from WERM (World Encyclopedia of Recorded Music). Unlike western convention that a number was assigned to a disc, Soviet LPs were assigned a number per side; thus D 01502 contained Listz’s Tasso, while D 015023 (the flip side) was Mravinsky”s Bolero.
