Mildred Dilling An Evening at Town Hall Signed LP Album
Original pressing of An Evening at Town Hall with Mildred Dilling, released on Urania Records (catalog number US 5139). This live recording, taped at New York's Town Hall on May 15, 1969, showcases the remarkable harp artistry of Mildred Dilling, featuring classical compositions by Jacques de la Presle, Henriette Renie, Maurice Ravel, and more. Mildred Dilling (1894-1982) was a pioneering American harpist, often referred to as The First Lady of the Harp. She studied under legendary harpist Henriette Renie and dedicated her career to popularizing the harp as a solo instrument. Dilling performed for five U.S. presidents, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was a teacher to notable musicians such as Harpo Marx. Her influence in the classical and jazz worlds solidified her as one of the most significant harpists of the 20th century. This copy features a signed label affixed to the cover, reading: Taped live at a Town Hall recital, New York, May 15, 1969, and signed in black ink by Mildred Dilling.
