Leopold Stokowski - First Releases (1995)

"The sound is some of the best of 78 transfers I have yet heard. I can only say that the results seems to warrant the work at Cala." Toccata Magazine

A pot-pourri of previously unreleased recordings from the 78rpm era, containing some old favourites as well as some rarities, and featuring Stokowski the arranger as much as Stokowski the conductor.
