Скачать или смотреть Stokowski conducts Dvořák's "New World" Symphony - Scherzo finale

Dvořák's "New World" Symphony was in Leopold Stokowski's repertoire right from his earliest days as a conductor. He performed it for the first time in 1911 with the Cincinnati Orchestra. In 1919 he recorded the slow movement, abridged to fit the 78rpm disc, in the old acoustic method with the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1925 he made the first American recording of the work in the new electrical recording system, again with the Philadelphians. Fast forward to 1973 when he had become a legendary 91-year old maestro and his last performances of the work. In June of that year he prepared for an RCA commercial recording by first playing it in a BBC studio broadcast. He had lost none of his vitality, as will be heard here in the closing pages of the Scherzo. The whole work has been issued in a 6-CD set of BBC broadcasts with repertoire ranging from Bach and Beethoven to Nielsen and Tippett. Not to be missed! ... Catalogue No. ICAB 5183.
