5 out of 5 stars The greatest Pastoral performance ever recorded.......2007-07-13

Leopold Stokowski was one of the three or four greatest conductors of the 20th century, and quite possibly THE greatest. The performances presented on this CD were originally presented on LPs and, thus, have long been unavailable. They have only recently been made available on this remastered CD by the joint and loving efforts of Cala Records and The Leopold Stokowski Society (of which I am a member). The Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies are quite pleasant bonuses, but the major work on this CD is Stokowski's magnificent performance of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony -- the finest performance of this masterpiece I have ever heard. If you are one of the many people who love this great symphony please get this recording of it while it is still available. It is one of the dozen or so greatest performances of any work I have ever heard.

Incidentally many people may be familiar with the abbreviated version of the Pastoral Symphony conducted by Stokowski in Walt Disney's classic film Fantasia. Pleasant though that performance was, it is surpassed by the complete performance presented on this disc.

5 out of 5 stars Great record, but..........2006-03-03

This bargain-priced record has probably the definitive version of Liszt's "Les Préludes" (and NOT the Liszt "preludes", as this site advertises; "Les Préludes" is an orchestral tone poem based on the Lamartine poem of the same name and NOT a collection of piano preludes). The Eloquence collection also offers its own version of Dolby Surround called AMbient Surround Imagery (AMSI), which rechannels original stereo (2-channel) recordings into 5.1 channels. Unfortunately, with the bargain price comes a certain laxity in presentation. There are no liner notes of course. But please be advised that the Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 (the most famous of all the Liszt rhapsodies) is really on band no 3 of this CD and not on band no 2 as the jacket states. This means that band no 2 is probably Hungarian Rhapsody no 4, until I can get confirmation of this, which is hard to do because Eloquence does not answer consumer mail and the Rhapsodies number 4 and 5 are relatively obscure works compared to the second. This should not distract you from enjoying these amazing recordings however, but I think it is useful information to know just the same.
