Tchaikovsky’s “Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32” & “Hamlet, Op. 67” are performed under the baton of English conductor Leopold Stokowski. One of the leading conductors of the early and mid-20th century, he is best known for his long association with the Philadelphia Orchestra and his appearance in the Disney film Fantasia. He was especially noted for his free-hand conducting style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound from the orchestras he directed

Raoul Poliakin conducting the Stadium Symphony Orchestra of New York (pseudonym of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra). Features famous waltzes by Weber, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, and more…
With the exception of the march, no musical form exerts such universal power over the listener as does the waltz. The lure of its three-quarter-time sorcery will soon have an audience swaying in its seats or dancers gliding and twirling across the ballroom floor. What is more, the waltz has held this magic power for more than a century and a half; and though the world is not nearly as waltz-crazy as it was during the latter half of the nineteenth century, it will still respond with genuine warmth whenever a waltz is played.
Actually, none of the waltzes in the present collection were originally intended for ballroom use, though at one time or another, all have served that purpose. The two Tchaikovsky waltzes were written for the ballet; the waltzes by Richard Strauss were compiled from an operatic score, and those by Weber and Johann Strauss, Jr., were first introduced in the concert hall.

Stadium Symphony Orchestra of New York & Carlos Chávez – Chávez: Sinfonia India, Sinfonia de Antigona & Sinfonia Romantica (Remastered) (2018)

This is composer Carlos Chávez himself who conducts these recordings of his own works, made in 1958 with the New York Stadium Orchestra. This is an orchestra “for the occasion”, gathering without any doubt the best musicians from the various New York orchestras, which is confirmed by the list of conductors that were at its helm: Stokowski mainly, Bernstein sometimes. This is thus one of these extraordinary concert and studio orchestras, and it must be said that these Chávez sessions are truly exceptional: the composer instills his incredible vital rage to these musicians, in his first (Sinfonia de Antigona, 1932), second (Sinfonia India, 1936) and fourth (Sinfonia romantica, 1952) symphonies. The titles have been coined by Chávez, and it should be made clear that “India” actually applies to the pre-Columbian civilizations from which come singular ritual or folk chants, perpetuated by the Ancients, up to and including during our time: nowadays we would probably talk about “pre-Hispanic” or “Native American” symphony. These historical recordings have of course been subject to a superb remaster, so that them being around sixty years old really doesn’t show. A must-hear.
