And if anyone wants his great performance of the Concerto in F (first 
one in public in 5 years, I believe) at the 1937 Gershwin Memorial 
Concert, I'm the guy who put it out on  CD 8 or 9 years ago. I still 
have a few copies left. This is the entire concert as broadcast on 
CBS, 150 minutes, not the edited version that came out on a pirate 
Italian CD. $20 + $4 shipping for the 2-CD set. Pardon the shameless 
plug.

The only other Levantophile, probably more devoted to Oscar than I is 
Michael Feinstein. Many years ago Michael made some dubs of lacquers 
of Oscar's music...some of which is pretty good.
     Over the years I have acquired many recordings of broadcast 
performances of his and I believe I have copies of all of his 
commercial recordings. Feel free to contact me off list if you want 
copies.

same year however)

  In searching for available recordings of Oscar Levant, I came upon 
a question asked about his opera, Carnaval, on ARSCLIST, and in 
following the correspondence, found that someone mentioned that he 
had recordings of Levant and asked if anyone were interested in Levant.
I have been interested in Oscar Levant's music and recordings since 
the age of 5, (I'm 59) but there is very little I can find. I am 
especially looking for his recording of the Grieg Piano Concerto. 
Anyone else a Levantphile?
