This review is from: Koussevitzky conducts American Music (Audio CD)
I listened to this CD last week. It was about 11pm.And what a revelation! I was totally absorbed by the music. I stopped my desk work to listen to it. Though the pieces were recorded between 1938 to 1946, the power of the conductor makes you forget the less than perfect sonics.

Highly recommended.

For Harris fanatics, like me, it is a must.
