Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

Phillips, 1958 |
A 1958 live recording, originally issued on a Bulgarian label, and later released by Phillips (date of the Phillips release is unknown). Note the manner in which he allows the massive block chords to resonate during the last section, the section subtitled "Great Gates of Kiev". No wonder there were so many orchestrations of this majestic piece of music | |
