Stokowski conducts Mozart and Beethoven MOZART; BEETHOVEN Stokowski's only electrically recorded Mozart 78s here receive their first-ever worldwide release - a superbly played Sinfonia Concertante in Eb with four virtuoso frontdesk wind players from the Philadelphia Orchestra of 1940. The Beethoven Pastoral Symphony from 1945, with the New York City Symphony, is as bucolic and rustic as could be wished.  |
