Leopold Stokowski - Russian Masterworks (1996)

"...the sum effect spells an urgent, albeit highly coloured, response to one of the repertory's greatest symphonies. The digital remastering is excellent." The Independent

Stokowski's affinity with Russian repertoire is well-known, and here he is on fine form with one of his favourite composers—Tchaikovsky—and one of his favourite orchestral showpieces—the Firebird Suite.
