Herrmann on New York Philharmonic CD Set
“As it has done in the past two years, this year the New York Philharmonic will be issuing a deluxe 10-CD set of live concert material. Last year’s theme was Mahler. This year’s theme is American music. The set will be entitled An American Celebration.
Among the items to be included are the 1949 NY Philharmonic performance of the suite from The Devil and Daniel Webster. Leopold Stokowski is the conductor.
Each of the works included on the set had to be ok’ed by current music director Kurt Masur. I’ve heard that he was very intrigued and had positive comments about the Daniel Webster suite.
The official release date of the 10-CD set is October 1. The price is set at US. (The CDs are not available individually.)”
