First Recording of Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite by Creator Paul Whiteman and Orchestra.

 

The Grand Canyon Suite is a suite for orchestra by Ferde Grofé, composed between 1929 and 1931. It was initially titled "Five Pictures of the Grand Canyon".

It consists of five movements, each an evocation in tone of a particular scene typical of the Grand Canyon. Paul Whiteman and his orchestra gave the first public performance of the work, in concert at the Studebaker Theatre in Chicago on November 22, 1931.

 

This is an amazing piece from Grofe's lush painterly colors of the american South-West.
 from the first, 1933 recording of the complete suite, this superb recording is a reference of how good 78 rpm records of 1933 can indeed sound.
