I started listening to this in high school- It changed my life. The only problem was I couldn't find a girlfriend at the time who also wanted to listen to Varese....... What a visionary Varese was- not many original guys (not gender specific) like this around anymore.
Sweet have fun!...My first pro gig was playing assistant Horn, (you guys over there call it bumper) with the Berkeley Symphony conducted by Kent Nagano. That was about 1992. That big low horn tutti is sick! I can't remember if its 12 horns or 10, I think 12. Thats french horns for you lay people, no offence.
SORRY SORRY, I meant to add a positive reply!!!you are right on here, it's hard to gather from the recording source...obviously too lo-fi to enjoy. again THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A THUMBS UP!!!
One of the most incredible pieces in 20th century repetoire. Thanks for posting it.
The piece is like an "undertow" ! You gets in and you are thrown out at the end .
Incredible - great , great music !!!
Quality of sound maybe poor but still this is 'Ameriques', one of the key pieces of 20th century, thanks Finels
Music at its most feral. Love it.

Varèse far ahead of his time!
Wow- thank you SO MUCH for putting this up! Did you record the rest of it?
I'll give it a try.
Its oslo philharminical orchestra
The sound quality is very very bad.
My favorite composer with Stravinsky, Debussy and Bartok !
Cette version est horrible! une véritable cacophonie!elle ne rend pas du tout la beauté de l'oeuvre, les gratte-ciel, les bruits de la rue.
