HOLLYWOOD BOWL SYMPHONY "Isaac Stern"


Listen Later

The series makes for a grand introduction to classical symphonic music at the Hollywood Bowl - selections include the opera Carmen sung in English, featured soloists Isaac Stern, Dorothy Eustis, Roman Totenberg, and Percy Grainger, with selections from Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and Cellini. Leopold Stokowski organized the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra in 1945, drawing on talent from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and from various film studios. The 1946 season was celebrated as the Bowl's Silver Jubilee. The Armed Forces Radio Service was allowed to record all thirty-two concerts that season for broadcast overseas, and those recordings comprise this collection. Most of the performances are conducted by Stokowski, although guest conductors appear for some. This episode is the second in the series from July 11, 1949. Isaac Stern, violinist, is the guest artist.
