On the latest edition of the Music Library’s YouTube series, librarian Gisele Schierhorst presents the story of the Louisville Orchestra. More specifically, she takes us on a tour of the library’s collection of First Edition Records, Louisville’s own recording label. In the latter half of the 20th century, the orchestra produced recordings of a wide range of contemporary composers. Our LP collection includes records ranging from George Crumb’s Echoes of Time and the River to Peggy Glanville-Hick’s opera Transposed Heads.
All of these records can be checked out and listened to at the Music Library on the first floor of the Melville Library building.
Recordings mentioned on this episode:
- Peter Mennin’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra
- Lamia by Jacob Druckman
- Ned Rorem’s Piano Concerto in Six Movements
- The Transposed Heads by Peggy Glanville-Hicks
- George Rochberg’s Symphony No. 1
- George Crumb’s Echoes of Time and the River
- All First Edition Records at SBU Music Library
