Frank Zappa US Reissue LP Zappa Vol. 1 London Symphony Kent Nagano ’86 BRP38820
US Second pressing LP released in 1986 on Barking Pumpkin Records. Cat: BRP 38820. Comes with printed inner bag which is in Excellent condition.
This LP contains the first set of recording to be released from a session held in January 1983 at which some of Frank Zappa's orchestral works were recorded by The London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kent Nagano. The pieces are "Sad Jane," "Pedro's Dowry (large orchestra version)," "Envelopes," and "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation," in three movements. Although Zappa himself has criticized these recordings, they represent the best rendition so far of his orchestral ambitions, more accomplished than Lumpy Gravy or Orchestral Favorites. The music is moody and ponderous, slow with sudden dramatic passages, in the manner of Stravinsky, and exhibits little of Zappa's usual melodic invention and humor.
