Gieseking recorded Debussy’s Preludes, Children’s Corner, and Suite bergamesque twice in the early 1950s . . . [As they] appeared in the US on Columbia and Angel some collectors have assumed them to be identical, but they are not. Hunt lumps them together . . . and makes no distinction between them.14

Other recordings are omitted altogether.

‘Label’ discographies are the workhorses of discography. Once they have been tackled much else becomes possible. His Master’s Voice: The German Catalogue: A Complete Numerical Catalogue of German Gramophone Recordings Made from 1898 to 1929 in Germany, Austria, and Elsewhere by the Gramophone Company Ltd = Die Stimme seines Herrn, compiled by Alan Kelly with the cooperation of the EMI Music Archive, London is a prime example.15 The volume provides detailed history and explanation of often highly complex matrix and catalogue-number sequences. Orchestral records were given catalogue numbers 40500 to 40999, so the listing can be done by type of recording, orchestra records for example, and catalogue numbers. Entries are in columnar format with the information reading from left to right, thus: catalogue number, matrix number, performers, work and section details, other issues and couplings. Discographies of this quality and extent are formidable and generous acts of scholarship.
