But sometimes the avant-garde stuff works. It somehow *kind* of works - in an austere and creepy way - with the Holiday Pageant. I'm less sure about some of the others on the disk. The dvd case says the music "beautifully enhances the delicate shadings of each of these rare and fascinating treasures."

I have the dvd, but there seems to be little documentary information beyond "Producer Unknown." Well, maybe that information is best left as an antique mystery, too.--dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916783237582906426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228314939015275941.post-13838037602780900072010-12-16T10:24:27.040-05:002010-12-16T10:24:27.040-05:00Beautiful, and quite moving.
