And if anyone wants his great performance of the Concerto in F (first
one in public in 5 years, I believe) at the 1937 Gershwin Memorial
Concert, I'm the guy who put it out on CD 8 or 9 years ago. I still
have a few copies left. This is the entire concert as broadcast on
CBS, 150 minutes, not the edited version that came out on a pirate
Italian CD. $20 + $4 shipping for the 2-CD set. Pardon the shameless
plug.

The only other Levantophile, probably more devoted to Oscar than I is
Michael Feinstein. Many years ago Michael made some dubs of lacquers
of Oscar's music...some of which is pretty good.
Over the years I have acquired many recordings of broadcast
performances of his and I believe I have copies of all of his
commercial recordings. Feel free to contact me off list if you want
copies.

same year however)

In searching for available recordings of Oscar Levant, I came upon
a question asked about his opera, Carnaval, on ARSCLIST, and in
following the correspondence, found that someone mentioned that he
had recordings of Levant and asked if anyone were interested in Levant.
I have been interested in Oscar Levant's music and recordings since
the age of 5, (I'm 59) but there is very little I can find. I am
especially looking for his recording of the Grieg Piano Concerto.
Anyone else a Levantphile?
