Chaîné, Jacques, comp. The Orphée Data-base of Guitar Records. Edited by Matanya Ophee. Columbus, Ohio: Editions Orphée, Inc., 1990.
-
Discography of guitar recordings. Useful to determine output of performers and recordings of composers.
-
Discography includes recordings that can be classified as finger-style playing on classical guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and lute (excludes recordings of plectrum-style guitar). Excludes records the compiler could not obtain or verify. Research does not go beyond information given on record jackets. The main thrust of the discography is to chronicle the recorded output of individual performers (not composers). International in scope.
-
The main body of the work is divided into eight sections: Classical Guitar, Lute/Vihuela/Baroque Guitar, Flamenco, Classical Guitar: Popular/Latin-American/Folk/Jazz, Acoustic Guitar: Popular/Folk/Jazz, Electric Guitar: Popular/Folk/Jazz, Christmas Guitar Music, and Liturgical Guitar. Within the sections, the entries are organized alphabetically by performer's last name. Each entry includes the performer's name, record label and number, record title, composers' names (arranged alphabetically), the composition title, format, country of origin, performance information, and author of the liner notes. Includes a Composer Index, a Liner Notes Authors Index (subdivided into Classical Guitar and Lute), and a list of music distributors and sellers.
-
The compiler plans to issue annual updates and gives his address for submission of new records. Cross-over genres of music (between Classical/Popular etc.) have been listed under both genres. Explanation of how to read entries is clear and accessible.
