Stokowski conducts A Russian Concert TCHAIKOVSKY; IPPOLITOV-IVANOV; GLAZUNOV; RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Stokowski's Philadelphia 78s of the 1930s were legendary, and high among the best of them was his 1934 set of Scheherazade. The string sound has to be heard to be believed. The Nutcracker Suite is equally entertaining and smaller pieces by Glazunov and Ippolitov-lvanov complete this well-transferred all-Russian CD.  |
