Myron Moss heard 'Pictures' on Schuyler LP; 'found the interpretation imaginative and individual, well worth hearing.'


[Philippa Duke Schuyler]

Yesterday John McLaughlin Williams provided the program of the one LP record made by Philippa Duke Schuyler:

“Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.6
Turina: Sevilla Op.2
Infante: Sevillian Variations
Copland: The Cat and the Mouse
Gershwin: An American in Paris (arr. Schuyler)
Ernest Middleton: Andante Satirico - 'Cold Moon'
Antonio Casanova: Voyage Around Cape Horn”

We subsequently heard from Myron D. Moss, Ph.D., Music Program Director, Department of Performing Arts, Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, Drexel University. Dr. Moss tells AfriClassical:

“The Indiana University music library holds the Philippa Schuyler LP recording you've discussed on your blog. I was able to listen to 'Pictures' while doing research there and found the interpretation imaginative and individual, well worth hearing.
