Grofe seems to have written a lot of music not available on recordings. Curiously, his justifiably most famous, “Grand Canyon Suite,” is often released with other, different works, so that I’ve acquired a few CD’s of “Grand Canyon,” just to obtain whatever’s been included with it.
And I’d never heard of this “Trylon and Perisphere” piece, though I would surely enjoy hearing it.

I heard it only once when someone had posted an mp3 on a blog. It was, IIRC, very modernist in a way that you would hope from a piece inspired by the 1939 World's Fair.
Curiously, Grofe composed an LP-length suite for the 1964 World's Fair, which was released as an RCA LP at the time. I have or had this, but was very disappointed by it, and I believe I unloaded it some years back.
