Over the years, a total of 26 records were produced and released by Pathé (Paris), Vanguard (New York), Odeon/Elektrola and Hohner/France or Hohner.
Today, these records can only be found in antique shops with a lot of luck. However, a few years ago, a Dutch company released a CD with some digitally remastered recordings.
In addition, the orchestra recorded the film music for a total of 11 feature films.
The photos are from the film Arlette erobert Paris (Arlette Conquers Paris), shot in Geiselgasteig,
music by Peter Kreuder.
The orchestra was placed on a ‘film island’ built from empty barrels for the recordings. However, the rehearsals took longer than planned, and the leaky barrels filled up before the recordings were completed, causing the “island” to sink and the orchestra members to have to rescue themselves from the ‘film lake’.
