Hybrid Stereo SACD!

This 1964 recording of Scheherazade - Stokowski's first in "Phase 4 Stereo" - is newly remastered at 24 bit / 96kHz, while Marche Slave, an encore of his 90th Birthday Concert in 1972, now makes its CD debut. To conclude, you hear the Maestro rehearsing the LSO during the Scheherazade sessions.

Leopold Anthony Stokowski was a legendary British orchestral conductor, well known for his free-hand performing style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound from the orchestras he conducted. He was one of the great personalities of the podium and held a profound commitment to the emotional impact of classical music. He conducted the music for and appeared in Disney's Fantasia and was a lifelong champion of contemporary composers, giving many premieres of new music during his 60-year conducting career.
