Alfred Scholz

Real Name:

Alfred Josef Scholz

Profile:

Alfred Scholz was a prolific producer of budget recordings, who fraudulently sold recordings credited with non-existing artists and orchestras. Sometimes the names of real people were given credit for performances which were not theirs. Working as a conductor, he performed under the guise of Alberto Lizzio as well as many other names.
"Alberto Lizzio" was a pseudonym used by Scholz and attached to older recordings which he obtained and then credited to non-existing artists like Carl Melles. But the works are conducted by Milan Horvat, Carl Melles or Scholz himself according to a book by Berky, John F. (12 March 2003) [revised 2009, 2014]. "Pseudonyms: Alfred Scholz and the South German Philharmonic".
It is not clear if Alfred Scholz was a real conductor who was also a fraudster, or the perpetrator of the fraud, who was using his name as well as many others, real or imaginary as "conductors" on his recordings.
The most common orchestra used by Scholz in his falsified productions was the New Philharmonia Orchestra (2).
Many dozens of budget labels use the recordings originally obtained from Alfred Scholz, who had a catalog of about 2000 titles. Most of these were old analogue recordings made between 1968 and 1970 for Polyband and Primaton and by the Austrian Radio prior to 1977. The recordings by the Austrian Radio were sold in 1977 to PREMIS, a company owned or controlled by Scholz. His catalog also includes a limited number of legitimate digital recordings made in England (London), Slovenia (Ljubljana), Slovakia (Bratislava), and Hungary (Budapest).
The catalog subsequently ed into the ownership of Point Productions.
