Description
FROM THE HEART of Stalin's Soviet Union, comes this indescribable record, "THE STEEL FOUNDRY." This is Soviet Proletariat Symphonic Music at its best. JULIUS ERLICH, of the Leningrad State Opera, conducts the ORCHESTRE SYMPHONIQUE OF PARIS, in what must be the definitive recording of this immortal piece.
Composed in Russia by ALEXANDER MOSSOLOV (see picture!) for the 1927 "Symphony of Machines," this ontomonopaeic evocation of a steel foundry, complete with the awesome sound of a gigantic drop forge, is ideal for disturbing the neighbors. Nothing quite gets under the skin at four A. M. than the ontomonopaeic evocation of a gigantic drop forge. It is not for me to question WHY you want to disturb the neighbors. I only want you to do it with a semblance of CLASS.
"THE DNEIPER WATER POWER STATION," by the same forces, is similarly ontomonopaeic, though more "Flow-ey" than "Bang-ey."
This original 1936 "Box Label" Columbia is in E+ condition. There is plenty of noise, but it's all from the music!
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
