Album

London Symphony Orchestra is an album series by Frank Zappa, released in two parts as London Symphony Orchestra, Vol. I in 1983 and London Symphony Orchestra, Vol. II, in 1987. They were recorded at the same sessions, in January 1983. The two albums were later combined, and re-released on a Rykodisc CD as London Symphony Orchestra Vol. I & II 1995. Volume I features the London Symphony Orchestra performing four instrumental compositions - Sad Jane, Pedro's Dowry, Envelopes, and Mo 'n Herb's. Complétez votre collection Zappa , London Symphony Orchestra Conducted By Kent Symphony Orchestra, Vol II was combined with its predecessor London Symphony Orchestra, Vol I 1983 and remixed and remastered for the combined London Symphony Orchestra, Vol I & II release in 1995.

Music composed & arranged by Frank Zappa. Conducted by Kent Nagano. David Ocker: Solo Clarinet. When Frank Zappa teamed up with renowned conductor Kent Nagano and the London Symphony Orchestra for three days in January 1983, he was expecting to walk away with a set of stellar performances of some of his most challenging contemporary classical pieces, as done by one of the world's top symphonic ensembles. Obviously the LSO is a world class orchestra and Kent Nagano is a capable conductor, I think it essentially comes down to how much rehearsal time was available to put into this new music. A couple of days of rehearsal time is fine for Beethoven, Brahms, or other music that was composed within well defined and established traditions and that the orchestra members are already familiar with. Zappa always said that his albums were one album, and I agree, particularly on the London Symphony Orchestra album. It's amazing, as a lot of the musical elements from 200 Motels were incorporated showing that was his secret masterwork .

FZ was amusingly critical in his search for 'musical perfection' on this release, as commented in his liner notes.

"Rock journalists (especially the British ones) who have complained about the 'coldness', the 'attempts at perfection' and 'missing human elements' in "Jazz From Hell" should find "L.S.O. Volume II" a real treat. It is infested with wrong notes and out-of-tune passages. I postponed its release for several years, hoping that a digital technologist somewhere might develop a piece of machinery powerful enough to conceal the evils lurking on the master tapes. Since 1983 there have been a few advances, but nothing sophisticated enough to remove the 'human elements' like the out of tune trumpet on "Strictly Genteel", or the lack of rhythmic coordination elsewhere".

During a recording break the Orchestra visited the public house across the road from the studio, FZ was then confronted by a rather inebriated brass section for the final take of the last track. He rounds off his liner notes for "Strictly Genteel"; "I have done as much as possible to enhance this fine British 'craftsmanship' (at least 50 edits in 6:53), but, to no avail... the 'human element' remains intact".

The piece was, of course, originally written for the "200 Motels" finale. Side one's "Bogus Pomp" is a parody of movie music pieces and mannerisms, developed from the MOI's October 1968 concert (Mystery Disc, Old Masters, Box II), along with themes in "200 Motels" and "Orchestral Favorites". "Bob In Dacron" opens Side two, ideally overviewed with "Sad Jane" from "L.S.O. Vol I", and is a further parody of an 'urban scoundrel' seeking gratification in a singles bar with girls and drink - presented in two parts as "Bob's Clothes" & "Bob Gets Drunk".

An interesting introduction, for the uninitiated, into the off-kilter world of FZ's slant on classical ballet, pomp and circumstance - as recorded in 1983 at Twickenham Film Studios, London.
