It's been a while since I wrote the last entry so this week I thought I'd feature one I had recently.
One reason for less entries has been with the pandemic it has been harder for companies to get access to the tapes to reissue titles or host recording sessions for new releases with all the stuff around social distancing.
This release, an 1972 account by the acclaimed American conductor, commentator and composer Leonard Bernstein of Stravinsky's ground breaking The Rite of Spring, so ground-breaking it famously caused a riot at its first performance in Paris.
Coupled with this as it was common place in the lp era for a single work that was just over a side long to sold without any coupling was one of the last Quadraphonic classical titles, the 1977 recording of the Symphony of Psalms which in the fuss around his ballet compositions tends to be ignored.
If that wasn't enough the original lp coupling of the above record, Francis Poulec's Gloria written in 1959-60 is included which makes for a generous 75 minute program of vintage stereo and quadraphonic recordings that have stood the test of time.
