Not an "extreme" rarity,
but not so widespread either.
Available for a short time only in Japan (LSCD, 1990),but not so widespread either.
then on CD Arkadia (1991); both OOP, obviously.
Perhaps you have already heard the much more famous - and amazing - recordings
available on BBC Legends (live 1963) and RCA (studio 1974):
"Stoky's touch", of course, is perfectly recognizable even in this case.
Here you will especially appreciate the urgency of the Finale,
"condensed" in less than 30 minutes;
and to all this is added the charm of listening
the sound of his beloved Philadelphians.

Thanks!
Stokowski left recordings of Mahler's 2nd and 8th Symphonies.
The Eighth was recorded live in New York on 9 April 1950, and has been issued on various CD labels.
Of the Second we have the following recordings:
-LSO 30 July 1963 (on BBC Legends CD)
-ASO 6 April 1971 live (recently issued on the Canadian St. Laurent label)
-LSO July-August 1974 (on RCA-BMG CD)
This Philadelphia live performance has previously been issued on the Japanese Stokowski Society label in the early CD years.
