Ferde Grofe - Trylon and Perisphere


Teasing the Korean

Recommended Posts

Ferde Grofe composed this symphonic piece for the 1939 World's Fair.  It was recorded at least once by Paul Whiteman.  I can't find it on YouTube.  It is apparently on Spotify, but I am not on Spotify.  

Has anyone heard this, and can you describe it?

Does anyone know if there are any hi-fi/stereo recordings of this piece?

Thanks.  I wonder if it was ever recorded again after Paul Whiteman.

Incidentally, I picked up Ferde Grofe's 1964 World's Fair Suite (RCA Victor) during the Great Vinyl Purge of the 1990s, but ended up unloading it on the InterBays.  I thought it was boring.  I bet Trylon and Persiphere is more interesting.
