Sažetak
While on the one hand field recordings are embedded in its underlying paradigm, the ones of commercial origin have generally been neglected in ethnomusicological research. The situation has lately been changing and researchers are more often ensuring that the study of commercially recorded music presents an essential part of their comprehensive approaches to the research on particular musical cultures. Such practice is a starting point for the discussion I prompt with this paper, once again underlining the prominent role commercial recordings, together with supporting industry, have in understanding certain musical domains. Within the framework of record industry in Croatia marked by the shellac record production which encompasses the period from 1927 until the end of the 1950s and with a foothold in premise that music is realized in performance, I explore transformations and movements of a few selected pieces released by record companies at that time regarded today as representative of central Croatia. I do so by juxtaposing their interpretation and style with correlated recordings of live performances made during field research and in other contexts such as folklore festivals. Tracing in such a way trajectories of performances delimited by the time and context will reveal movement not only between performers and their interpretations, but also between different functions and uses of identity markers, while parallel drawn with parts of the observed repertoire performed and recorded to date will point to their far-reaching migration across both space and time, as well as the effect on nowadays music-making.
