Music reviews of Stokowski: The Maverick Conductor

Music Review: Indispensable for the Stokowskite (although he is likely to have all this already)
Rating: 5 Stars

Good to see that all this is back. All the material contained on this 10-CD box, featuring recordings made by Stokowski mostly for Capitol between 1956 and 1959, had been previously reissued on CD, mostly on EMI's Full Dimensional Sound collection (reissuing the Capitol catalog), but many are gone and hard to find at reasonable prices.

I hope to be helpful by listing the contents by alphabetical order of the composers:

Bach transcriptions

Barber Adagio (Leopold Stokowski Symphony Orchestra January 57, hereafter LSSO)

Bartok music for strings percussion celesta (LSSO December 57-January 58)

Bloch Schelomo (George Neikrug, Symphony of the Air Feb 59)

Cesti/Stokowski (Symphony of the Air Dec 58)

Debussy Faun, Clair de Lune (LSSO Feb 57), Nocturnes (London Symphony Orchestra June 57), Iberia (Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française May 58)

Dukas Fanfare from La Peri (LSSO Feb 57)

Farbemann Evolution (Part 1)(LSSO Jan 57)

Frescobaldi Gagliarda (Symphony of the Air Dec 58)

Gabrieli/Stokowski (same)

Glière Symphony No.3 (Houston Symphony Orchestra March 57)

Holst Planets (Roger Wagner Chorale & Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra Sept 56)

Ibert Escales (Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française May 58)

Khachaturian Symphony No. 2 (Symphony of the Air Dec 58)

Loeffler Pagan Poem (LSSO Dec 57)

Martin Petite Symphonie Concertante (LSSO Dec 57)

Moussorgsky-Ravel The Hut of Fowl's Legs & Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures (LSSO Jan 57)

Orff Carmina Burana (Virginia Babikian, Guy Gardner, Clyde Hager, Houston Chorale, Houston Symphony Orchestra April 58)

Palestrina/Stokowski (Symphony of the Air, Dec 58)

Persichetti March from Divertimento (LSSO, Jan 57)

Ravel Alborada del Gracioso (Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française May 58), Rapsodie Espagnole (London Symphony Orchestra July 57)

Respighi Pines of Rome (Symphony of the Air Dec 58)

Schoenberg Transfigured Night (LSSO, Aug 57 - thanks Aficionado for pointing out my oversight on this one)

Shostakovich Symphony No. 1, Prelude & Fugue 14, Entracte from Lady MacBeth (all Symphony of the Air, Dec 58), Symphony No. 11 (Houston Symphony Orchestra, April 58)

Sibelius Swan of Tuonela, Finlandia (both LSSO, Feb 57)

Strauss Gavotte from Suite in B flat for Winds op 4 (LSSO, Jan 57)

Stravinsky Petrushka-suite, Firebird-suite (both Berlin Philharmonic, May 57)

Tchaikovsky Scherzo from Symphony No.4 (LSSO Jan 57)

Turina Oracion del Torero (LSSO Feb 58)

Vaughan Williams Scherzo from 8th Symphony (LSSO Jan 56)

And quite a recording schedule, too! I am indebted for all this dating info to Enno Riekena's invaluable Stokowski discography, now hosted by tripod (search "stokowski.tripod" with double quotes).



You will find more detailed product info under the individual entries of the previous reissues, and my detailed reviews under some:

- Bach - Stokowski

- Leopold Stokowski Conducts Bartok, Barber, & Schoenberg

- Stokowski: Landmarks of a Distinguished Career (the trinkets of CD 2, 7 & 8 were here)

- Ernst Toch: Symphony No. 3; Paul Hindemith: Mathis der Maler Symphony; Frank Martin: Petite Symphonie Concertante (Amazon's product info under this entry is faulty: Stokowski conducts only the Martin, not the Toch symphony).

- Debussy: Ibéria; Nocturnes; Ibert: Escales; Ravel: Rapsodie Espagnole

- Shostakovich Symphony No.11

- Holst: The Planets; Schoenberg: Transfigured Night or Holst: The Planets; Ravel: Alborada del Gracioso; Stravinsky: Petrushka Suite

- Gliere: Symphony No. 3 "Ilya Murometz"; Loeffler: A Pagan Poem (on EMI Matrix)

- Stokowski & The Symphony of the Air: Shostakovich, Respighi, Khachaturian, Bloch, Frescobaldi, Palestrina, Gabrieli, & Cesti (this material was originally published on LP on the short-lived United Artists label, see my review for details)
