Grainger, Percy. (1882–1961). Stokowski Conducts Percy Grainger Favorites - Signed LP to Orvis Ross.

RCA Victor LM 1238, inscribed by the important English composer to the upper right front cover "To my dear friend Orvis Ross / in keen appreciation of his great genius as composer, executant & conductor / from / Percy Grainger / Feb. 1954." Some staining to edges and rear of cover, small split to lower edge. LP in apparently very good condition. A very interesting and significant association.

Orvis Ross (1894 - 1979) was a pianist and composer and director of the Bach Society Choir in Rochester, Minnesota. He and Grainger met there in the month of the present inscription and a Feb 9, 1954 letter from Grainger notes that "There is a composer-genius here (Orvis Ross) who is a topnotcher." (Distant Dreams: The Correspondence of Percy Grainger and Burnett Cross, 1946–60, p. 97). Ross went on to make several Grainger arrangements and to edit some of his works.
