Stokowski is heard conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra, a London orchestra created largely from “cherry-picking” front-desk and other esteemed players from other great London orchestras, primarily to make recordings. \u003cbr\u003eBoth pieces in this recording are by Stokowski’s old friend and colleague, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943), who was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, as well as one of that century’s greatest composers. Stokowski (1882- 1977) was five years younger than Rachmaninoff and lived a long, productive life, still making excellent recordings in his nineties (these were made at age 93). \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"383.09600000000006\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Both recordings are historic audio documents in their own right. Stokowski premiered Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony with the Philadelphia Orchestra on November 6, 1936, only months after its completion, but he never recorded it or even performed it again until the instant recording was made almost 40 years later. While the Vocalise exists in a number of versions, the 1912 original being a wordless song for soprano or tenor accompanied by piano, this Desmar recording is Stokowski’s only recording of the full orchestration made by the composer in 1916. Needless to say, Stokowski’s mastery of every aspect of the music heard here is unquestionable. How fortunate we are that Desmar’s enterprising founder Marcos Klorman preserved Stokowski’s authoritative interpretations in such brilliant sound, as experienced in this recording. \u003cbr\u003eAs noted by Recording Producer Antony Hodgson in the original Desmar album, “The acoustics of this splendid hall ( West Ham Pentecostal Mission) with its very long reverberation period are very helpful to the recording engineer, and with Stokowski’s approval, the orchestra was divided into instrumental choirs placed apart from one another so that both spaciousness and clarity could be obtained. This of course recalls [Stokowski’s] methods of orchestral placement in his ​performances in America.” Hodgson further reported that Stokowski was “always happy with this orchestra.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"273.57399999999984\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"273.57399999999984\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"556.5419999999999\"\u003eDETAILED LINER NOTES BY LEADING RACHMANINOFF AUTHORITY FRANCIS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"243.95\"\u003eCROCIATA TO BE POSTED SOON.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"243.95\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"75.46000000000002\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Conductor - Leopold Stokowski\u003cbr\u003eOrchestra - National Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"128.58999999999995\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recorded by Desmar in West Ham Pentecostal Mission, London,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"268.5339999999999\"\u003eon April 28 and 30 and May 1, 1975\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"161.34999999999997\"\u003eEngineer – Bob Auger\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"282.00199999999984\"\u003eExecutive Producer – Marcos Klorman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"206.66799999999992\"\u003eProducer – Antony Hodgson\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"599.7039999999997\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis recording was transferred from the original Desmar Master Tapes,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"46.29799999999996\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Sergei Rachmaninoff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymphony No. 3 in A Minor, Op. 44\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Lento; Allegro moderato \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16:58\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e2.
