A WILLIAM PRIMROSE DISCOGRAPHY
Though not exhaustive, this
discography represents a fairly complete account of the recording activity of
William Primrose, including commercial recordings completed but (for whatever
reason) never released. It is not intended
as a listing of every issue of every recording he made. It is, rather, a representative listing of
issues most commonly found in North America of each performance in disc
format. This includes 78-rpm (both 10-
and 12-inch records); 45-rpm (both regular and extended-play 7-inch records);
LP (or 33 ⅓-rpm, 10- and 12-inch records); and 16-inch 33 ⅓-rpm
transcription discs, which were pressed in limited number for delayed broadcast
both in the US and overseas. CD issues
are included, but it should be noted that some might already be
out-of-print. A few performances
available on commercial video releases are listed, but not open-reel, cassette
or eight-track tape versions of his commercial records. Recording dates, where known, are given in
brackets. Matrix numbers (mx.) are only
given in the case of unpublished recordings.
Monaural versions of recordings released in stereo are not listed unless
there was no stereo issue found for that specific catalogue number. Unless
otherwise noted, all entries denote his performances as a violist.
Primrose stated in his
memoirs that he participated in recordings by the London String Quartet during
his tenure in that ensemble from 1930-35.
To date, the only performance from this period that has been traced is the
Beethoven Quartet Op. 132 in A-minor.
Unfortunately, it did not seem to be the practice of Columbia Records to
list the personnel for their LSQ issues on the disc labels or in the
accompanying booklets, so one must rely on somewhat incomplete recording ledgers
at EMI for this information. For the
recording dates and issue numbers of LSQ discs, as well as information on
Primrose’s unissued Columbia tests on violin, I am indebted to Mr. Roger
Beardsley, master producer of historic recording reissues and compiler of
several collections of Primrose recordings for the Pearl CD label. I would also like to thank Mr. Jon M.
Samuels, the wonderful producer, transfer engineer and tireless researcher of
recording session data, for supplying information on Primrose’s studio activity
at Victor, and later, RCA. His extensive
knowledge of historic recordings has been invaluable. Mr. Kevin Mostyn, who has done detailed
research on recording activity by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has provided
me with information about Armed Forces Radio transcriptions that helps to
determine which AFRS program contains the Primrose / Koussevitzky performance
of Harold In Italy that preceded their studio sessions. Thanks also to Mr. Tully Potter and Mr.
Malcolm Walker who have helped to clear up the matter of the aborted 1956
sessions for the Mozart Quintets with the Griller Quartet on Decca and their
subsequent rerecording in stereo for Vanguard in 1959. And finally, many thanks to Mr. Eric Wen of
Buddulph Recordings whose dedication to the preservation of historic string
performances has made it easier to find and enjoy most of Primrose’s 78-rpm
recordings in the digital format. His
research has unearthed a surprising handful of unissued Victor 78s, and it is
from his notes that I was able to supply information on those sides that have
yet to be published in any form.
Quite a few “live”
performances by Primrose exist as one-of-a-kind copies on audio- and videotape,
or on acetate disc, but I have not included them here. Most Primrose broadcasts involve performances
of repertoire that he recorded in the studio. But there are some tantalizing
examples of music not included in this discography circulating among
collectors: performances of the Benjamin
Dale Romance from his Suite for Viola, the Barbirolli concerto on themes
of Handel, the Telemann Concerto and Hindemith’s Kammermusik #5 among
others, all survive to whet the appetite of the Primrose fan. His talent deserves to be shared and
appreciated by all, especially his precious legacy of performances outside the
recording studio. I would like to
suggest that if anyone has copies of unusual noncommercial recordings by
Primrose, I would love to hear from them.
Let’s preserve every tiny bit of his amazing artistry.
