Leopold Stokowski was both one of the twentieth century’s greatest conductors and an inveterate orchestral arranger. This compendium features a colourful selection of his transcriptions, which received the highest praise when first released in a series played by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under the distinguished baton of José Serebrier, one-time Associate Conductor to Stokowski himself.

“Listening to these discs in such close succession reminded me of just how much fun these transcriptions are” MusicWeb International
