This is NOT the later repress, but the true Original pressing ! Recorded March 8 & April 12, 1982, at New York’s Vanguard Recording Studio by multiple Grammy-Winner Tom Lazarus, produced by Andrew Kazdin ( who has been audio-supervisor for the New York Philarmonic ). Harold Farberman formed The All-Star Percussion Ensemble with 10 percussionists from famous U.S. orchestras, many of whom were Farberman's students. The 10 players used a total of some 60 to 80 instruments, varying from piece to piece, incl. glockenspiel, xylophone, kalimba, bamboo-rattle, maracas, waterphone, tunes thai-gongs, tympani, snare drums etc. On a high resolution audio system there are slight noises of the players' footsteps as they run from one instrument to another, maintaining synchronicity with Farberman's innovative arrangements. Line-up: Harold Faberman conducting The All Star Percussion Ensemble, consisting of the percussion-players of : New York Philarmonic, Boston Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Orchstra, Pittsburg Symphony, Royal Danish Orchestra, Pittsburg Symphony, Boston Symphony, New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Tracks: side 1: BIZET / Carmen Fantasy side 2: BEETHOVEN / Scherzo from Symphony No.9 – PACHELBEL / Canon - BERLIOZ / March To The Scaffold from Symphonie Fantastique Considered by most highend-aficionados to be one of the finest percussion-recordings ever, incredible sonics & unique arrangements, highly recommended !
