Title: Opening Blast of Orchestral Americana
Product review: Opening Blast of Orchestral AmericanaThe Allegro Moderato from Gottschalk's A Night In The Tropics may be the real opening blast of Orchestral Americana. No wonder Van Dyke Parks was so taken with it!This piece and this performance is essential listening if you have ever closed your eyes during a Hollywood film to better concentrate on the great soundtrack! Maurice rules in these here latitudes, senior!(Note to HiFi nuts: I cannot speak to the CD, but my original Vanguard LP captures the orchestra wonderfully--especially the unison brass and string.)TAGS: Maurice de Abravanel, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Van Dyke Parks, Americana, Latin, Cuba, Jazz Roots
