Thanks Guido!
A very fine concert. The only comment I have is that the arrangement for string orchestra of the Vivaldi Concerto Grosso is not by Siloti but by Sam Franko.
In the summer of the same year (21 August 1964) Stokowski conducted almost the same programme in the Berkshire Festival at Tanglewood, but Gabrieli and Vivaldi were then replaced by Richard Strauss' Tod und Verklärung.
Excellent performance and amazing mix of works so typical of Stoky's style.
Thanks a lot !!
Hi friends, thanks for your kind comments.
@Burtw47 thanks for the clarification (of course my source said Siloti and I brought it back)
great stuff-thank you.i wish he did more mozart
Thank you, can't wait to listen!
I am surprised it took so long to get Stokowski into Boston to conduct the BSO. Did Koussevitzky and Munch block him during their tenures?
@Rootie Very interesting question,
but I've no answer :)
Thank you for this. Appreciate your scholarship and hard work.
