Antonín Dvořák - Symphony No.9 'From The New World' - LSO/Rowicki, Philips box sets.

Interesting fact about

from wiki http://kmh.yeungnam-c.ac.kr/composers/09_N...nin_Dvorak.html

From 1892 to 1895, Dvořák was the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City. The Conservatory was founded by a wealthy socialite, Jeannette Thurber, who wanted a well-known composer as director in order to lend prestige to her institution. She wrote to Dvořák, asking him to accept the position and he agreed, providing that she were willing to meet his conditions: talented Native American and African American students, who could not afford the tuition, had to be admitted for free—an early example of need-based financial aid. She agreed to his conditions, and he sailed to America.

And he was judged the musical 'conservative' opposed to the 'progressist' Wagner. :rolleyes:

Guy Warren Sounds--Themes from African Drums (RCA Living Stereo)

Interesting person. Ever read about him? "Love, the Mystery Of" on one of Blakey's drum albums is by Guy Warren.

Randy Weston recorded it, as well, live at, I think, Montreux (but I can't get at it - there's a pile of LPs that I'm too idle to put back in the shelves in front of it at the moment).

Never read anything about him, though.

This evening, playing a bit of Chicago bloooose

Randy Weston has recorded Mystery of Love multiple times. The one time I got to see him live, performing solo, he played the song.

There's a version on this Guy Warren record. In addition to four drummers, the album features Laurence Brown on trombone. Earl Griffith also appears on vibes on one track. The recording was made on May 22 and 23 of 1958. Guy Warren includes his mailing address (P.O. Box 1246, Accara, Ghana, West Africa and asks that the listeners write.

He recorded in the UK both on his own albums for Columbia and with the Rendell/Carr Quintet on 'Change Is'. Brought into that band by Ian Carr.
