George Szell's ghost.... One year after his death.....
Stokowski might be the greatest conductor ever for modern music..... (Sorry Pierre Monteux..... Sorry Pierre Boulez...... )
This is the first time I've heard of composer Reinhold Glière ...... Stok conducts his Third Symphony..... This is not just another modern composer, to my ears.
I will make just one comment.... This performance, which took place at Severance Hall, might rival George Szell's Tokyo Sibelius Two, one year earlier, as the greatest orchestral exhibition I've ever heard.....
