Re: Benny Goodman Questions!

Anders, GBK: The "Contrasts" mentioned is indeed the original cast recording, as Bartok wrote it for Goodman, Szigeti, and himself. No better recording of it was ever made. My opinion, as well as that of many others.

I am indebted to GBK for "turning me on" to that recording, for which I thank him again. Also, cheers to GBK for having posted what is so far the longest URL of the year on this Bulletin Board,

Speaking of "original cast," Goodman playing the Copland Concerto with string orchestra conducted by Copland is also very fine.

Oh, yes: Bechet? He could play just about any instrument without trying hard -- and seemed to enjoy them all. Bechet even made at least one recording playing a sarrusophone.

Regards,
John
