Mass in D major, Sanctus

Which composer?

[Enrique]

Do you not guess? Well, of course you know, but for the benefit of others: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).

[Enrique]

Also:

Stravinsky: L'histoire du soldat (a favorite of mine)

One more by Stravinsky: Renard the Fox

I have by Igor Markevitch with Peter Ustinov en French. Renard I have by Stravinsky himself.

[Sorrano]

Do you not guess? Well, of course you know, but for the benefit of others: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).

That was my bad. For some reason I saw D Minor, not Major.

[Sorrano]

I have by Igor Markevitch with Peter Ustinov en French. Renard I have by Stravinsky himself.

The Renard that you have is probably the same recording I have.

[Enrique]

The Renard that you have is probably the same recording I have.

CBS 5474 (monoaural 4474). Stravinsky was CBS exclusive artist. It seems that Stravinsky was a man of good understanding in commercial affairs. He charged u$s 1000 per hour of his music broadcasted in TV in the US.

[Sorrano]
