Stokowski's collection of Russian masterpieces brings out a sense of magnificent color
Leopold Stokowski conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in this powerful recording of classic works by Stravinsky, Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky. The meticulous orchestral arrangements and unique sound production are striking.
This is a collection of Russian works by Leopold Stokowski, who led the London Symphony Orchestra, and it is an album that clearly displays his unique sonic sensibility. In "Night on Bare Mountain," Stokowski's own arrangement adds powerful contrast and vivid depth, highlighting the dramatic aspects of the work. In "Slavonic March," he brings out the driving force of the ensemble, and the sound with a stable center of gravity supports the work with dignity. And in "The Firebird," a gorgeous sense of color spreads within a meticulously organized balance, fully demonstrating Stokowski's musical composition backed by his experience, and this is an album that gives a sense of his sure skill in drawing out the power of the orchestra.
