The recent post of among others a Schubert Salve Regina by a Jankowitsch twin led me to check for any other possible versions I might have.
As must have been obvious for some time, I think I can be allowed a little bragging about my archives, but I would certainly not venture into the musical aspect...
But from the comments from some others in the group I'm sure there are real musicians to help out the humble collectors.
I found out that I had a couple of "Salve Regina" by Schubert.
Only one I had entered as "Salve Regina D 676" and when I checked the cassette recording I did not find anything in the very summary insert that would have caused me to make the said entry.
One thing I'm sure of is that I MUST have found it somewhere.
I have kept a long time out of date Bielefelder Katalog as a kind of reference book and I saw that the Salve Regina D 676 is a version for soprano solo, which at least is a start.
However I see there are several more versions of the Salve Regina by Schubert, and when I went to google for more info I found out there are even more versions not listed in the Katalog...
So I'm turning for help to the experts in the group.
If I went by my "musical ear" I would conclude that all of the versions I have, save one, are of the same work, the one I would presume is D 676.
But it is even more complicated.
To me it sounds as if the Jankowitsch posted version is also the same, but on the LP back cover it is described as "Salve Regina in F major, Offertorium for solosoprano Op.47"
No mention of D 676 and in the notes, it is said that this work is one of "six separate sacred arias...in the realm of accompanied solo songs". That work was composed in 1815 and expanded by Schubert 8 years later to include wind instruments.
So maybe someone can "confirm" if all these versions are of D 676 (or not!)
As for the George Banks-Martin version, which is for sure different, the LP back cover only gives this indication "Op.153 No.3".
No D number.
I hope the musical persons from this group can give this a good listen and come up with all their learned conclusions.
By the way, during my serious google search I came across some WSK clips on youtube of the different works from the LP I have, including the Salve Regina. They are not real videoclips but a sequence of stills, the first of which is the LP front cover. I don't know if the music is from the mastertape of that recording but to me it sounded much better than in the post.
