Stokowski's "Heart of the Ballet" reissued         


Author: Kerrison

Here's the first web review of Cala's new Stokowski release "The Heart
of the Ballet" (CACD0547) from 'Audio Audition' (www.audaud.com) ...

Original RCA inscriptions 1949-1951 from Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977)
hereby restored in stunning sound by Paschal Byrne and Phil Rowlands.
Stokowski took members of the New York Philharmonic and assorted
independent musicians to Manhattan Center, New York to inscribe "the
most tuneful numbers from the most popular ballets" in order to create
both a beginner's primer for the burgeoning ballet collector, as well
as another document celebrating "The Stokowski Sound."

Stokowski opens with four brief moments from Giselle, already resonant
with the post-Hollywood lushness that marked the Maestro's
inscriptions after 1941. Violinist Michael Rosenker does the solo

If this disc is as good as Cala CACD0546, "Stokowski conducts a
Russian Spectacular," with Mussorgsky's Night on Bare Mountain and
Khovantchina Suite, Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival
Overture, etc., most taken from the RCA Victor lp LM-1816 (which
admittedly had spectacular sound to start), it will be quite
wonderful. The sound on the Russian Spectacular CD is so open and
natural--true "high fidelity"--that you hardly notice it's mono.
