FROM THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED STOKOWSKI SERIES
TWO OF THE LAST RECORDINGS STOKOWSKI MADE, AT 95! MENDELSSOHN: SYMPHONY NO. 4 “ITALIAN” BRAHMS: SYMPHONY NO. 2
LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI, NATIONAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
He had a first-class orchestra of London’s finest players at his disposal: he kept them on their toes, and the results are electrifying, full of charisma, vitality and warmth....Overall this is an irresistable coupling, especially as the composer observes the first movement exposition repeat in both symphonies...
Highly recommended Ivan March, Gramophone , July 2002
