STEFAN WOLPE: 10 SONGS FROM THE HEBREW . 1952. AN EARLY RECORDING WITH DAVID TUDOR.

NYC: Columbia Records, 1957
Standard 12inch 33rpm LP in pictorial sleeve. Wolpe was a student of Anton Webern, a devotee of Schoenberg and Busoni, and an influential teacher of Morton Feldman, Ralph Shapey, Herbert Brun, David Tudor, and Charles Wuorinen; having taught at the legendary Black Mountain College with John Cage, David Tudor, and Lou Harrison.

Additionally this is one of David Tudor’s earliest recordings, and his second LP ever. Other performers on this important document of 20th century American classical music are flutist Samuel Baron, pianist Maro Ajemian, violinist Anahid Ajemian, percussionist Elden Bailey, harpist Lucile Lawrence, cellist Claus Adam and singers Arline Carmen and Leon Lishner. Hovhaness conducts his own composition ‘Upon Enchanted Ground’. The record is in VG+ condition (a few light ‘unfeelable’ scuffs/swashes) in a mostly VG sleeve with light shelf wear and the seams reinforced with clear tape though they do not appear to be split. There is also a promo stamp and small amount of writing on back of the cover which shows an image of a praying Jewish man. Priced to reflect the condition of the sleeve.
