This guy can play Stokowski's transcriptions as well as old Maestro Stokowski himself - or at least almost as well - but since most of you don't think Stokowski's transcriptions, and most assuredly, not this conductor, are worthy of purist classical thought and attention, you will probably never know just how much fun they are to listen to . . . .

But, as most of you already know, I am a common as dirt, totally unrefined, red-neck, good ole southern boy, who likes almost all things classical from Readers Digest level on up, so listen to it, I will. (And Love It, I also will !)

And, I am listening to . . . THE STOKOWSKI SOUND - Transcriptions for Orchestra by Leopold Stokowski

Cincinnati Pops Orchestra - Erich Kunzel, Conductor


A Telarc CD, recorded in 1990

And, the very best thing about this CD is the fact that you can currently buy it on Amazon for 1¢ U.S. - That is one penny, one single cent - and it is worth every single one of them.
