[78-L] Treemonisha

[David Weiner]

Yes, and it blows that one out of the water, historic-wise.  It comes with
an ENORMOUS 100-page booklet in a hard cover, detailing everything you
could possibly want to know about the work.  The performances on the old
recording are more vibrant and heartfelt, but the new one is more accurate
in performance style. I have both recordings.
