A Lost Treasure Revealed
Despite half a century of following classical recordings, I did not know this recording existed until HDTT released it. It is a thorough delight in all regards. Stokowski demonstrates his mastery of orchestral colour. If your experience of French music has been that it is rather wispy and diffuse, be prepared for a different view here. The sun shines brightly on Stokowski's colours and they are bold and striking. The Orchestre National de Radiodiffusion Française at the time of the recording did not have a permanent conductor, but it was associated very much with André Cluytens. It also had roster of distinguished guest conductors, and this is reflected in a very high standard of playing. The recording quality needs no apology for its age. The soundstage and overall audio perspective sounds very much like what can be heard on a good concert hall.
