He was also an advocate of Stravinsky's music, with\u003cem\u003eThe Rite of Spring\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLes Noces\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOedipus Rex\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cem\u003eThe Song of the Nightingale\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eSymphonies of Wind Instruments\u003c\/em\u003e all receiving their US premieres\nunder his direction.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nOn Philadelphia Orchestra 78s too, he made the first US recordings of \u003cem\u003eThe Rite of Spring\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePetrushka\u003c\/em\u003e, from which he devised\nthe colourful Suite heard here. However, it was \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eFirebird\u003c\/em\u003e Suite which appealed to Stokowski the most. He recorded\nthis work no fewer than eight times, starting with an acoustic set in 1924\n(PASC192, also featuring \u003cem\u003eFireworks\u003c\/em\u003e). Incidentally, he occasionally\nadded the effective clang of a tubular bell at the start of the \"Infernal\nDance,\" as in the brilliantly played NBC performance on this CD.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nTchaikovky's 4th Symphony also featured in Stokowski's list of numerous\ndisc premieres, its first American recording having been made with the\nPhiladelphia Orchestra in 1928. He was to re-record it for Victor two days\nafter the broadcast heard here in a 78rpm set that has been described as\n\"fiery and impetuous\" and even \"wilful,\" words that are also applicable to\nthe preceding live performance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRimsky-Korsakov was also much in Stokowski's repertoire, with \u003cem\u003eScheherazade\u003c\/em\u003e excerpted on acoustics (PASC476) and recorded five\ntimes thereafter. He made the first American 78s of the \u003cem\u003eRussian Easter Festival Overture\u003c\/em\u003e in 1929 and this he also\nre-recorded with the NBC Symphony for Victor shortly after its 1942\nbroadcast. However, for this performance he made a colourful emendation.\nAbout half-way through, Rimsky-Korsakov directs a solo trombone to depict\nthe chanting of a Russian Orthodox priest during an Easter service. At this\npoint, Stokowski decided on what might be called the \"authentic\" touch and\nengaged Nicola Moscona to intone the Old Slavonic text instead. On the\nother hand, in the case of the dazzling \u003cem\u003eSpanish Caprice\u003c\/em\u003e, Stokowski\nrather curiously didn't get round to recording this work commercially until\n1973, a few months before his 91st birthday!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nHowever, it is Tchaikovsky who occupies a major portion of Stokowski's\ndiscography and we conclude with the 5th Symphony. He recorded the second\nmovement acoustically in 1923 (PASC441) and one of his commercial LPs -\ntaped in 1953 with his own special team of top-flight New York musicians -\ncan be found on PASC188. The same adjectives that have described\nStokowski's reading of the 4th Symphony can also be applied to the 5th.\nSmall cuts in both will be noted, though abridging Tchaikovsky in those\ndays was quite common - witness Toscanini's deletion of over 100 bars from\nthe \u003cem\u003eManfred\u003c\/em\u003e Symphony's finale! Nevertheless, in Stokowski's hands,\nthe NBC Symphony gives these Tchaikovsky symphonies virtuosic performances\nas visceral, intense and as passionate as they come.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Johnson\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTOKOWSKI \u003c\/b\u003econducts Russian Music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
