This is a three-LP set, first released in 1963, from Book-of-the-Month club, via my mom. Its origin is this:
Various composers and famous performers played compositions on a Welte reproducing piano, which preserved those performances down to the keystrokes and timing.

--Split into two discs.
Being a dub of older LPs, there is some background noise. But the music is stirring, thrilling, enchanting!
