So here’s my contribution for the night to LGF musical culture: the Symphony #7, (“Variation Symphony”) by Peter Mennin. This is my favorite American symphony and IMHO one of the great symphonies of the 20th century (I’m also partial to another #7, that of Sibelius).

This is the National Orchestra of the ORTF (French Office of Radio and Television) conducted by Jean Martinon.
