Title: Radio recording of Cadman's Pennsylvania Symphony?
Post by: edurban on Saturday 29 May 2010, 03:12
I understand that there may be copies of the 1940 NBC radio broadcast of this symphony floating around.  Can anyone enlighten me?  I'm dying to hear this piece...

A wonderful piece of music and an excellent performance.   Hearing the composer himself talk about the music is icing on the cake.


A caveat - While the sound is quite good for 1940 broadcast acetate technology, it can be hard going for those used to modern sound.
