Title: a good collection ruined by over-filtering
Review: That Leopold Stokowski was one of a handful of truly great conductors of the 20th century is without doubt. This collection is at a good price but only for those new to his art. The set is of little or no value to collectors (hence my 2 stars) for 2 reasons: 1. recording dates are, for the most part, vague, and 2., the over use of filtering that removes the "gritty" sound of 78s but also robs the music of overtones that give life to the recordings, robbing most of the discs of their vitality. Only the Dvorak "New World" keeps the sound intact and shows what's missing from all of the other discs which sound flat and lifeless. Stokowski was always particular about the sound of his recordings from his earliest days but these fail to show that. Stay with releases on Andante and Pearl (both out of print but still around) or Archipel and other labels that preserve Stokowski as he was meant to be heard.
