Trade Review[N]umerous interesting comments...are sprinkled throughout this book, making it not just a necessary reference for all future discographers but a good read for nostalgic record collectors. Kaplan has submitted a list of addenda/errata, all minor, for a second printing. . . .Alongside North’s two books, this makes a formidable reference series. * Fanfare Magazine *
The Philadelphia Orchestra: An Annotated Discography represents exhaustive research and fills a major void in the literature. . . .[T]his book is recommended to all collectors of classical orchestral recordings, especially admirers of this legendary orchestra and the various conductors involved. * ARSC Journal *
