Leopold StokowskiAbout
It is a little-known fact that Stokowski was the only conductor to perform all of Schoenberg's orchestral music during the composer's lifetime, and he conducted the world premieres of two of the composer's greatest works - the Violin Concerto and the Piano Concerto.
In 1961 he led a truly overwhelming account of Schoenberg's great 'Gurrelieder', of which Stokowski had given the US premiere in 1932; nine years before, he made this fabled recording of 'Verklarte Nacht' with a hand-picked orchestra.
The result is an issue of the highest importance, and the booklet notes are by Stokowski himself.
