In Reply to: RE: Notes for the Houston Sym. recording claim the composer approved Stokowski's cuts!!! posted by Todd Krieger on August 15, 2015 at 22:15:16:
The truth most likely is, these composers agreed to the cuts for a very good reason: to get their works performed (and recorded) more often, to get more royalty payments. Stravinsky created three suites out of The Firebird, none of which (imo and also in the opinion of many critics) preserve the dramatic impact of the original complete ballet score.
Nowadays there is really no technological limit on how long a recording can last. Even the old-fashioned CD can give you more than an hour. But without these modified versions, you would probably hear these pieces in live performance far less often.
