Title: The Magician at work!
Review: A lovingly produced album, worth every dime. Yes, the sound is variable, and the Toccata and Fugue in d minor can be had on a super-cheapie Magic Talent all-Stokowski program (with Stravinsky Rite) in about the same sound (but it's also one of the oldest recordings), but Pearl has done the music community a real service by providing such an anthology. The art of transcription seem to fallen out of favor and earned disrespect, but in truth, great artists can produce great transcriptions--such as these.While one can certainly obtain great modern sounding recordings of Stokowski transcriptions (Kunzel on Telarc comes to mind), and some of Stokowski's own stereo recordings with London on (I think) RCA and various orchestras on EMI, this is by far the most complete--and with the fantastic Philadelphians.A must-have.
