Скачать или смотреть Stokowski conducts Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony at the BBC Proms (1966)

Leopold Stokowski once declared his love for Slavic music and added that Tchaikovsky was one of his favourite Russian composers. Of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, it was the 5th that Stokowski conducted the most over the years, the first occasion being with the Cincinnati Orchestra in 1910. Several decades later, in 1963, he became the first great international maestro to conduct at the celebrated BBC Proms in London. He appeared in five Proms, the last of them in 1966 where his New Philharmonia concert ended with the Tchaikovsky 5th. It duly brought the house down, as will be heard following the work's final moments in this video. It can be heard complete in the 6CD Stokowski 'BBC Legends' Volume 2 Box issued by ICA Classics on ICAB 5183. Full details will be found by clicking this link ...
