Stokowski Conducts "Aurora's Wedding" & Stokowski Encores Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Stokowski Reissue
Cala continues its series of reissues of Leopold Stokowski's catalog with this compilation disc. It comes from Stoki's last years and is drawn from two long-deleted LPs. The selections show the maestro at his best with its mix of a suite from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty (Aurora's Wedding) and those famous transcriptions that were the trademark of his long and distinguished career. This disc makes us wish for more and gives hope to those who lament the current abandonment of classical music by the big record companies. As usual for Cala, transfers are excellent.

And the track order isn't chronological -- their two best-known songs, which were not their first two U.K. singles -- occupy the ...

Christmas and the blues might seem at first like a strange combination, given that the music of the holiday season is usually joyful, hopeful, and bright, but no other time of the year is so good at showing you what you don't have, and what you can't get, and if you have the blues at Christmas, well, it's going to be a pretty heavy dose. ...
