"From Paris to Tanglewood, from Edinburgh to Aspen, a music festival is a spectacular occasion, a high-hearted pageant of sound that fills the atmosphere with joy and excitement.
Andre Kostelanetz, conducting one of the world's great orchestras, the New York Philharmonic, brings us on this record a true festival. Characteristically, it takes its material from many divisions of music--opera, ballet, the symphony concert, the ballroom, even from the music hall. Inevitably, it also embraces music of considerable novelty." [Excerpt liner notes]
