London Symphony Orchestra Vol I

Fully realizing his lifelong ambition to have his complex orchestral compositions formally recorded, the iconic provocateur enlisted Kent Nagano to conduct this massive, highly demanding project. 'London Symphony Orchestra Vol I' is characterized by wildly dissonant brass arrangements, impossibly difficult polyrhythms, and moments of satirical theatricality. While Zappa was famously dissatisfied with the rehearsal time and some orchestral errors, the album remains a stunning testament to his genius as a serious classical composer.
