I too felt from the outset that this was the right instrument for it, almost better than the orchestra. As the music flowed I was anticipating those mind-wrenching sequences that start Part 2. Their freshness echoed directly the astounding effect on me six decades earlier when as a child I watched Disney’s evocation of evolution in Fantasia accompanied by those same sequences played by the Philadelphia under Stokowski. I am going to treasure this recording. Thank you Concert for making it available!
