Stokowski And Wagner/ Symphony Of The Air Chorus - The Sound Of Stokowski And Wagner

Celebrated as an unconventional conducting superstar, Leopold Stokowski established an innovative, lush orchestral sound with the Philadelphia Orchestra under his direction that became known as the "Philadelphia Sound" or "Stokowski Sound".

He also pioneered the use of "free" bowing, which produces a rich, homogeneous string sound. The original 1961 recording of the Symphony Of The Air Chorus is less well known to the general public, but is an absolute delight to listen to and brings

Stokowski's fascination to life. The RCA Living Stereo Reissue Series No. 2 is renowned for its selection of special classical gems in the finest audiophile quality. Remastered and edited by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
