It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: The Great American Symphony

A lot of these works had their best recordings in the analog era, and some have had no commercial recordings since (e.g. the Sessions Symphony 3; I wonder what ever happened to Igor Buketoff).

I think the recording of the Piston 6 to have is still the Munch. I have it in a Japanese RCA Munch Edition CD, coupled with an equally fabulous Martinu 6 (which was *composed* in the US).

By the way, Cedille has a new recording of the work on the flipside of the Sessions, Benjamin Lee's Concerto for String Quartet. That RCA recording was pretty shrill. New World Records will still burn you a CDR of the older recording.
