Synopsis

Album Description

During the 1920s and 1930s Leopold Stokowski was the epitome of American showmanship and glamour in classical music. Yet less widely known is the fact that he was an avid audiophile who embraced the recording process with meticulous care, working closely with his engineers and producers in experimental stereo technology. Featured here are several Stoki calling cards, all presented in rich sonic splendor: Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, Borodin's Polovtsian Dances, Saint-Saens's Carnival of the Animals, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and his famous - if controversial - orchestration of J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
