This stereo lp of the music of Albert Ketelbey, conducted by an Italian in Vienna, well I had little hopes here. For a buck, I figured why not? It's only one greenback, right?
This is one neat 45 minutes worth of listening. The music is so enjoyably tuneful and the orchestra sounds like they are really having a grand old time. Think about it, none of these Viennese players had probably ever heard of Ketelbey and conductor Armando Aliberti was most likely given the score and said, "here's your opportunity to make a record, we need this one to go head to head with Decca!" Oh, "and get this program done this afternoon...you can have 90 minutes to rehearse this morning." Ah Westminster!
A single dollar can buy a smile!
