Leopold Stokowski – Symphony of the Air Rhapsodies – 2005 SACD
Classical Orchestra, Selection / October 4, 2017
“This sacd is truly wonderful. Under the leadmanship of Stokowsky all music becomes something extraordinary. Start with the majestic notes of Liszt’s Hungarian rhapsody & end with Wagner. And don’t forget smetana’s moldau! Then I switched to the 3-channel mix on the SACD. The orchestra became much wider & deeper on the soundstage, with the flute solo in the Moldau front & center with greatest clarity & presence…” ~audaud.com
“Leopold Stokowski’s collection of Rhapsodies are painted broadly but with his characteristic fine control, & in sound that is larger than life.” ~Kalman Rubinson(取自网络)
