Comments
Monaural only - there is no equivalent stereo issues of this MG-50166. However, stereo version of A-1 and A-2 can be heard on SR-90290 and SR-90134 respectively.
FR pressing - sounds sharp, crisp and bold!
Personal Impression (and brief notes)
This LP is a collection of three American composer's Latin-American-Flavoured works, conducted by Howard Hanson. All compositions fully features refreshing rhythms and percussions, which is so amazing. Not a serious and spritual kinds of Classical music, but it's very enjoyable and nice.
