Feeling Hungry?

Vienna State Opera Orchestra — Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsodies No. 1, 2, 3 and 6 (1961)
Get it, Hungry!!! Sorry, I had to... I got this one primarily because of the really nice illustration. However, I do actually like Classical music. And I do like Liszt. See, I didn't buy this purely for the cover. I'm not completely shallow!

Here's a bit of trivia for ya...
• In the Tom and Jerry short film "The Cat Concerto", Tom is playing is Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No.2".
• "The Cat Concerto" won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1947.

    Link to the TJ YouTube video has been zapped. I'm sorry that you thought the Belshazzar's Feast music was naff. Try Walton's "Facade". That's a bit weird in a different way. Glad to hear that you do listen to the music behind the pretty covers. You seem to be into 1960's artwork; a classic period for record sleeves. Keep it up.
