The Mount St. Mary Concert

If you care to listen, this is a 1 hour plus recording of a concert of orchestral music presented by a 22 year old Frank Zappa at Mount St. Mary's College, Los Angeles in 1963. The music is totally unique, but the remarkable part is the question and answer period at the end, where Frank talks about his compostional techniques and influences.
