HutchFan Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Disc 8 - Dvořák: Sym. No. 9 "From the New World"; Smetana: The Moldau and "The Bartered Bride" Overture EDIT: Just read this quote about Stokowski by author & composer Eric Salzman: "There used to be an old idea about Music as Magic. Not just the 'weave-a-spell' bit but a really serious notion that a great musician could transform mere sounds into something more than the sum of their parts -- an illusion of tangibility, so to speak, a kind of shared revelation and no questions asked. Now there's only one of those wizards left and his name is Leopold Stokowski..." Disagree with Salzman about Stoki being the last musical wizard. But otherwise... RIGHT ON!!!

Had the Dvorak on lp - it came with a 2nd lp with a recording of the symphony from 78s. I listened to the Mahler 2 from this box today and was irritated.

What was it about Stokowski's performance that bugged you, Chuck? Edited May 3, 2020 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
