Ladies &amp; gentlemen, the unforgettable Al Hirt (another trumpeter from New Orleans!) &amp; the equally unforgettable Arthur Fiedler in collaboration with the eternal Boston Pops Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Al Hirt, Arthur Fielder &amp; The Boston Pops: all staples of the middle-class record collections of the early 1970s. This album was a banger when powered over  a vacuum-tube amplifier; the songs on it, first heard some 50-plus yrs. ago now, linger in the memory, hummable, all the dynamics still anticipated in the right places. Also staples of the middle-class record collections of this era: Leontyne Price, Jascha Heifetz, Van Cliburn. Take it easy, ya\u2019 culture-vultures!
