My dad had an album that I haven't seen in years. It was like a sampler album(circa 1950), I think it was called "A taste of Brass." I have searched many out of print music sites with no luck.
It had the most bombastic trumpet solo I have ever heard anywhere. The song in particular was "In the Hall of the Mountain King." The are many versions of this song but I am really wanting to hear this recording of it. Anybody have it?

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (June 15, 1843 – September 4, 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist who composed in the romantic period. He is best known for his Piano Concerto in A minor, for his incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, and for his Lyric Pieces for the piano.

I must say I've never liked any Jethro Tull I've heard - but then, I could never take a man in tights seriously!!
