Here is a record that I have more questions about than information.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It features Bohemian music and is from Columbia’s E catalog number series which was used for foreign and ethnic recordings. Unfortunately, I do not have access to any of the discographies that cover the Columbia E series.\u00a0 I can tell from the label design that my copy was pressed sometime in 1912.\u00a0 But an online reference I found to a Columbia E series recording from 1912 suggests that this record was originally issued somewhat earlier. Furthermore, the matrix number is not of any series that I have information on – which suggests to me the possibility that it might have been recorded in Europe.<\/p>\n

The composer credit on both sides is for “Fr. Dvorak.”\u00a0 Was this perhaps Antonin Dvorak<\/a> – or maybe a relative?\u00a0 Finally, no artist credit is given for the band – which was not all that uncommon during the 1900s and early 1910s for recordings made by in-house studio musicians.<\/p>\n

If anyone reading this has additional information, your sharing it in the comments would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
