Tomita - Firebird | Vinyl LP | Preowned

A preowned vinyl LP of Tomita's pioneering synthesizer reinterpretations of Stravinsky, Debussy and Mussorgsky.

Firebird showcases Isao Tomita's groundbreaking electronic orchestration of classical works, opening with a full synth rendition of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite before moving into Debussy's Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun and Mussorgsky's A Night On Bare Mountain. A landmark of early electronic/classical crossover, essential for synth and modern classical collectors. Both sides have some noticeable surface noise for the first few moments, not enough to overpower the music but certainly audible.
