How cool is that ?
Library of Congress number R59 - 1499 applies to this record.
Label number ML 5443.

I do it by Pictures... bright, dark, sunny, art and of course, stampers.

Syntax - did you forget to include a classical album pic with your post ?

Here is ML5443 from my previous post, this one happens to be a Canadian pressing.

It can be easily dumped into your file choice and then searched by whatever criteria you wish. It is sorted by label number. Thanks to Geno who is listed on the site and made this info available. Once on the site there is also a link for the Great Recordings of the Century records.

This is the record I was looking for when I found this.

This is new music for me. I don't know of Benjamin Britten/Simon Rattle.

Well done record.

Came across this interesting album. I somehow found it in the common section of albums on the floor, to be listened to. I think it was from my original personal stash, not the acquired collection, but they are all one now anyways. Found it very interesting so wanted to share.

Milhaud*, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Munch – La Création Du Monde - Suite Provençale

Mine happens to be a Canadian pressing from Montreal.

I found the music very unique. it was recorded on an old RCA Living Stereo label in excellent condition. So I looked it up and found some interesting info.

On a trip to the United States in 1922, Darius Milhaud heard "authentic" jazz for the first time, on the streets of Harlem, which left a great impact on his musical outlook. The following year, he completed his composition La création du monde (The Creation of the World), using ideas and idioms from jazz, cast as a ballet in six continuous dance scenes

The jazz pianist Dave Brubeck became one of Milhaud’s most famous students when Brubeck furthered his music studies at Mills College in the late 1940s
