I purchased this disc because a good friend from college plays percussion with the LA Phil and this was one of his first recordings with that group. As such, he recommended that I buy it. The recording of these works received stellar reviews and the sound/production is top-notch, but the works themselves just aren't my bag. For me, this is the kind of music which is more fun to analyze than to perform and more fun to perform than to listen to.
Tracks:Concerto for Orchestra (1943) followed by Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936). Cinema buffs may recognize the latter piece from the movies The Shining and Being John Malkovich.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None
