Living Music Program

Though not a box set this was a series of 2 lp gatefold albums, "The Longines Symphonette Living Music Program Proudly Presents". Each gatefold double-album in this series of 14 releases Is by the Longines Symphonette under the direction of Michel Piastro. Inside the gatefold, liner notes begin by explaining: "So much of our life is highlighted by music that there is scarcely a song or melody of a given era that doesn't conjure up a memory ... a mood ... a moment. [Whether the music is popular, concert, from Broadway or Hollywood -- whether you first heard it "live" at a dance, on a broadcast or as a recorded background to your most important memories ...] Beautiful music possesses a magic wand that brings nostalgia to vivid life. Thus, "The Living Music Program" is designed to build a record library for you that will encompass all kinds of familiar music! The Longines Symphonette is proud and pleased to provide this unique and precious service for you!" Unless otherwise stated in the description these recordings are from Stereo releases. Both Mono and Stereo were offered.
