I’ve been typing up my impressions of Thursday’s night’s Carnegie Hall performance of Berlioz’s edition of Carl Maria von Weber’s “Der Freischütz” (a U.S. premiere, believe it or not, in this version), but since it’s blossoming into quite the novella, and since I’ve got some other things I’d like to do with my Sunday, I’ll probably polish it up and post it tomorrow.
In the meantime, with the artistry of Leopold Stokowski still resounding in our ears, following yesterday’s birthday anniversary, here are some interesting Stoky odds and ends I discovered on YouTube. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do.
Stokowski: The Conductor Speaks, with music by Purcell, Bach, Bax and Enescu
A student symphony composed by Stokowski
Actually an old favorite of mine: Stokowski conducts Debussy – at the age of 90!
And of course I’ve always loved this one. How big is that hair going to get?
Still haven’t had enough? Search for past posts under “Stokowski.”
LEOPOLD!
