Finally listening to the first CD in the Louis Lane set - and it's such nostalgia - this is how I got to know so many American works - probably the first time I ever heard the Candide overture was on this POP Concert U.S.A. The early stereo is great. I think they confined Lane to the Epic label because he was more of a pops conductor, but a superb one, and his music choices are perfect. Like Ormandy, but not as legendary, obviously, he made so much music accessible to the masses, especially young folks.
