HDTT is releasing this great recording for the first time in high resolution, sourced from the original master tapes (the other Stokowski recording for Desmar, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3, is slated to follow later). Stokowski made these outstanding recordings at the age of 93, and he would continue to make remarkable recordings up through June 1977, three months before his death on September 13, 1977, at age 95, and sixty-eight years after his debut concert in 1909. Stokowski was always known for the glorious, lush sound he drew from orchestral strings, and what is heard on the present recording of music written for string orchestra is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesmar was an independent classical label in the late 1970’s that, under the leadership of artistic visionary Marcos Klorman, created an LP catalog of tremendous distinction. Desmar insisted on the very highest technical standards, and as a result, its recordings stand up beautifully today. Desmar spared no expense for these two Stokowski recordings, arranging for him to record with two great London orchestras of the time, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (heard on the instant release) and the National Philharmonic Orchestra, and with leading recording engineers of the day, Neville Boyling (this release) and Bob Auger. These two monumental Stokowski recordings stand as a testament to Klorman’s dedication to excellence and outstanding quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see HDTT's first Desmar release, Schumann's Complete Works for Cello and Piano, featuring great American cellist Nathaniel Rosen and renowned pianist Doris Stevenson \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/products\/schumanns-complete-works-for-cello-piano-cellist-nathaniel-rosen-pianist-doris-stevenson\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e[HERE].\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Conductor – Leopold Stokowski\u003cbr\u003eOrchestra – Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eErich Gruenberg and Jeremy Painter, violins\u003cbr\u003eFrederick Riddle, viola\u003cbr\u003eDavid Strange, cello. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded by Desmar in No. 1 Studio, Abbey Road on August 16, 18 \u0026amp; 19, 1975\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEngineer – Neville Boyling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExecutive Producer – Marcos Klorman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProducer – Antony Hodgson\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis recording was transferred from the original Desmar Master Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRalph Vaughn Williams \u003cbr\u003e1 Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis 16:33\u003cbr\u003eHenry Purcell \u003cbr\u003e2 Dido's Lament (From Dido and Aeneas) 4:55\u003cbr\u003eAntonín Dvořák Serenade In E Op.22 \u003cbr\u003e3 I.
