	This live recording with the Boston Pops Orchestra under (or rather, in spite of) the baton of Arthur Fiedler) dates from 1962, when Silverman was in his early 20s. Silverman plays this much maligned piece as though he loves it. He recently reminisced: "At the first rehearsal, Fiedler asked me 'I presume you know my recording with Willy Kapell.' This put me on the spot because I knew Kapell's definitive recording very well, and I also knew that Fiedler didn't conduct it. Koussevitzky did. So, rather than get into a fight with him, I just said that I'd tried to find it in Vienna, where I was studying at the time, and couldn't. By the way, I still love it!"
