This program includes excerpts from Marriner's recordings with this orchestra (finale from Symphony C in major by Bizet, prelude to \"Birds\" by Respighi, and excerpt from the overture to \"The siege of Corinth\" by Rossini) and several radio commercials and announcements, and lasts approximately 48 minutes (the entire 1st part and 11 min. of the 2nd part). The remaining 20 minutes is a conversation between the organist Rollin Smith and 2 unidentified people: a man and a woman. Smith scrutinizes organists, organ music and organs; points to difficulties of organ playing in comparison to piano playing and being at the mercy of unknown and often inferior instruments; expresses his wish to see churches consolidate and organize organ recitals; and more."]}},{"label":{"en":["Languages"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights"]},"value":{"en":["The copyright and related rights status of this item has been reviewed by The New York Public Library, but we were unable to make a conclusive determination as to the copyright status of the item.
