Edición Stokowski, Vol. 2

Leopold Stokowski conducts two important works from the late Romantic and early twentieth-century symphonic repertoire with elegance and vivacity. Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite Scheherazade, Op. 35, is performed with the London Symphony Orchestra in a colorful and enveloping interpretation that captures all the magic of oriental fairy tales. The four movements flow with great narrative flair, highlighting the Russian composer's brilliant orchestration and exotic influences.

The program closes with Arnold Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht , performed by the Stokowski Symphony Orchestra. The performance reflects the conductor's expressive sensitivity, capable of enhancing the dramatic tensions and lyrical moments of the composition in perfect emotional balance.
