You're probably aware, but thought I'd mention it-

I recall having pretty good luck on bios with Oxford Music Online. You'd have to find a library that subscribes, or check out their free trial...

Hi, Wendy,

Done that.  All it infers is that I spelled the names corectly.  No further dates nor data.  Probaly have to prowl various editions of Baker et al.  I keep trying to buy a copy of al but someone else always gets there first.

Steve

Hi, Steve,

You might check the Lib. of Congress Authority files
(http://authorities.loc.gov/) for one idea. (Search name authority, last name first, then click on link to your match for full authority record.
info. at the bottom of record.)

Best,
Wendy

Where di I find birth and death dates on line for obscure conductors?
Excluding Wiki.

A few examples:

Philippe Flon, listed as born both 1854 and 1861.  Anyone know if made recordings other than on Mapleson cylinders?
J. Louis van den Meden
Bainbridge Robinson
Lilian Bryant

Thanks,

Steve Smolian
