Does "original take" mean the first of more than one take and was the original take used in the released CD? Thanks. JN
Hi John.
By original take, I mean the take that Horowitz authorized to be released on Columbia's Great Songs of Christmas - 1969. The music on this video is what was heard on that LP - which I found in a 2nd hand shop in Cape Coral, Florida several years ago.
All CD issues of this work have used - at least in part - a different take.
By the way, a user on another forum asked why Horowitz would have chosen this piece for a Christmas album. I suspect Horowitz might have chosen the work to reflect his opinion on religion in general - a "fairy tale"!
