Classic American Music Played By a Classic American
18 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
In 1970 after 40 years Fiedler and the Pops left their long time label RCA for Deutsche Grammaphone. In the last six years of his life Fiedler made 12 albums for them, none have ever been released to CD (except for the Disney music in 1994)until now in the 5 double CD collection The Fiedler Legacy with album notes by Fiedler's daughter Johanna. This set, the first in the series, includes much of the music Fiedler recorded for the Bicentennal in 1975 and 76. The first disc opens with Fiedler's signature piece, Sousa's Stars and Stripes, and includes music by Copland,Ives,Gershwin (his Second Rhapsody which Fiedler premiered with the composer as soloist in 35) and Bernstein including a special orchestral suite of music from Bernstein's Mass arranged for Fiedler by the composer himself in 1976.The second disc includes the complete 1974 album of orchestral ragtime music that Fiedler made after the popularity of the movie The Sting brought it back.This side also includes the Newton Wayland arrangement of Variations on the Varsity Drag with Wayland on piano,three Leroy Anderson favorites,a medley of Richard Rodgers waltzes and three more Gershwin pieces including the orchestral arrangement of his three piano preludes. A great tribute to American music performed by a great American musician who knew many of these composers personally. A great addition to any music lovers CD collection.
