''The Chaser'' (March) – Albert Benzler (issued 1906) (unrestored audio)

Posted in: Animation


Xylophone solo. Combined with pictures from the April 1906 edition of “Technical World Magazine”. Issued on Edison Records. Audio taken from UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive. Edison Phonograph Monthly said of this recording: “No. 9213, The Chaser March, is another xylophone solo by Albert Benzler. It is thought by many to equal “The Messenger Boy” March, one of the best xylophone Records in our catalogue. It is safe to predict that it will be just as popular and perhaps more so. The one composition suggests the other in swing and catchiness, but they are entirely unlike otherwise. The orchestra accompaniment makes a fine background”
