L'Anthologie sonore
by sbrothier
L'Anthologie sonore is historicaly the second "Thesaurus" of Early Music. Discs were recorded under that label between 1933 and the mid 1950s in France, initially under the artistic direction of Curt Sachs. He was also the artistic director of the first one, "2,000 years of music, a concise history of the development of music from the earliest times through the 18th century" in the very early 1930s, just before he left Germany for France where he founded "L'Anthologie sonore". I loosely translated and adapted for the next section an article on l'Anthologie sonore written by Mr Armand Panigel that appeared in 1951 in the French periodical "Disques." Mr Panigel was then the director of the periodical.
