We've come to the one year anniversary of this blog, and what better way to celebrate than with a favorite post from last year in a new and much improved transfer.
It's George Duning's beautiful music from Salome, which came wrapped in this eye-popping cover (or uncover, in this case) featuring Rita Hayworth and her not terribly concealing veils. These are new scans of the cover and back cover (below).
There's more about the recording under the original post.
Thanks to all who have stopped by during the previous year, especially those who have commented. Much appreciated. I have learned a lot from you and made many friends, which is very rewarding.
No thanks to those who come by, take the many rare items here, and then pawn them off on other blogs as their own work. It has taken me many years to acquire these items, and it takes many hours to prepare them for this blog. It's a labor of love, but believe me, there is no love lost on those who leech.
Ah, but why waste the moment on complaints. I enjoy doing this, and my fond hope is that you enjoy listening.

ReplyDeleteHaving only recently discovered the world of musical blogdom, I am overwhelmed at the time and attention a few remarkable people, such as yourself, put into the sharing of great music. In Australia, our music schools are turning out amazing musicians, but as a whole the education system. and parents, are leaving the world full of ignorant audiences, who turn to music more for comfort than for adventure. I hope many more people have their ears opened by your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Best wishes

Thanks to everyone for your kind remarks. Particular thanks to Phillip for your gracious comments. I do enjoy this, and I enjoy hearing from all of you.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your wonderful blog - who better than Rita Hayworth to help celebrate your Anniversary. Thanks too for Bonjour Tristesse, Fire Down Below & Miss Sadie Thompson.
ReplyDeleteThis is one LP I've heard of but never seen. Thanks for letting me hear it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I am totally gobsmacked by the quality of this! Thanks you for making a fine but otherwise totally obscure soundtrack available. (I'm quite bowled over by the discovery of your blog, and all the work you've done to make it a real treasure-chest of undiscovered wonders!!)
ReplyDeleteAll the best
