Hi Michael: Yep, there's that one plus another one of the Eastman String Sinfonia and an Eastman Marimba Band record, all made in that same timeframe. I would count those as the last domestic Mercury classical recordings. There's also a synthesizer version of Holst "The Planets" by the guy who started Different Fur Studio in San Fran. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Fox" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury Golden Imports complete list > Tom and list: One I just encountered is an Eastman Wind Ensemble (Donald > Hunsberger conducting rather than Frederick Fennell) playing works by > Howard Hanson (Young Composer's Guide to the Six Tone Scale) and Joseph > Schwantner (And the Moutnains RIsing Nowhere).
