A Great recording of Piston's Second/1



This is one of the greatest symphonies written by an American! The recording made by Deutsche Grammophon back in the seventies is beyond reproach. It was released coupled with William Schuman's Violin Concerto performed by Paul Zukovsky. They are truly outstanding recordings of both works. Listen to the theme that starts at 2:04....damn, I love this work....great fun!

Please enjoy!

  1. It sure is great...love it...
    by the way, I had my headphones on a little while ago...our local classical station was playing some very far out modern violin music...I had to turn it off...I would swear they were mosquitoes buzzing...what a bunch of crap.
    good to see you posting again bud.
