C'est Magnifique!

Not a mistake... I'm listening to it again... and wondering how many plays I can get before the oxide wears off the tape.

It is a good program, with an excellent Orchestra/Conductor, and a Soloist par excellence.

Mozart
Overtures to Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute
Vienna State Opera Orchestra
Felix Prohaska

Ja, ausgezeichnet!

I only have this as an lp, and would love to hear the r2r tape. This is the only harp recording here that gets regular playtime. Interestingly, this same recording is used as filler on a cd that I have, but cannot remember what at the moment.

edit: I had to go look for the cd. The Rodrigo Concierto Serenata is on cd 1/2 of Philips 289 462 296-2. The rest of the compilation are the complete Concerti for Guitar, with the Romeros and Academy of Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields,Sir Neville Marriner.
