London Symphony Orchestra, Vols. I &II
Something magnificent to move the air in your room around. FZ's compositions performed by the LSO, conducted by the now-well-known Kent Nagano. These are some of the most intricate compositions in all of Zappadom; even with the LSO working at full strength, FZ has noted that it took many hundreds of tape splices to get the pieces just right. Along with the grandeur of "Bogus Pomp" (much-expanded from its original appearance on ORCHESTRAL FAVORITES), there's the rich melodicism of "Sad Jane" and the many musical nooks and crannies of "Mo 'n' Herb's Vacation."Tracks from this session were originally scattered among two vinyl albums and one CD. This new and expanded edition includes all the LSO tracks on 2 CDs. Other highlights include "Strictly Genteel" (also reworked from ORCHESTRAL FAVORITES) and "Bob In Dacron."
