Leopold Stokowski And The Philadelphia Orchestra - Hungarian Rhapsody No 2
Review by Krislyn Faith Estorco
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Leopold Stokowski and The Philadelphia Orchestra is a stunning classical album that showcases the brilliance and skill of both the conductor and the orchestra. The album is a beautiful collection of classical music pieces that are sure to captivate any listener's attention.
Stokowski's interpretation of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is simply breathtaking. The way he conducts the orchestra is both powerful and graceful, allowing each instrument to shine and come together in perfect harmony. The Philadelphia Orchestra's performance is equally impressive, with each musician bringing their unique talents to the table.
The album features other classical pieces, including Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. Each piece is performed with the same level of passion and precision, making for a truly immersive listening experience.

Very Smooth- Thanks

I still have this 78. The flip is “Part 2”, and I hope you should put “Part 2” here.

This is another of the old Victrola discs from the Groos collection, Victrola 6652B, a big 12 inch red label. Stokowski's interpretations are as unique as a fingerprint. It was in wonderful shape and it was a delight to create this vid. Thanks again for visiting ~ always wonderful to hear from old friends P!

staple in my childhood

The exaggerated, over theatrical ritenutos are distracting. As a teen I had a record of this piece by Stokowski with the NBC Symphony, but I don't remember that; maybe it's something he tried once and didn't like (and IMHO, rightly so)

I have this record. It sounds sonorous when played on the 1926 Orthophonic Victrola Credenza.

Daniel Bonade, principal clarinetist, plays cadenzas at 1:25 and 2:26.

Brilliantly interpreted...

Had this when I was a kid on the 70s on 78rpms, bought by my Dad (trained to be a professional flautist) in the 30s or 40s. He used to say the piece was conducted by a steam engine and I see what he means! A good few minutes shorter than a usual performance. The violinists must have had corns on their hands. Thanks for the memories and the superb performance.

Thank you for sharing this. I went to listen to my copy and it was broken.

Stokie's reign was the beginning of what became known as the "Philadelphia Sound" Eugene Ormandy went on to perfect it. He was criticized for not putting his personal stamp on the orchestra. However, he was more interested in showing how brilliant the orchestra was and still is, many years after his death. There have been four music directors since Ormandy's retirement and death, but it's still the same outstanding orchestra and beloved by audiences around the world. As for Warner Bros., yes, a lot of people are unaware that they are hearing classical music for the first time as children watching zany cartoons.

I have to say that as much as I like popular music from the 30s and 40s, I also really love classical pieces recorded then, particularly when conducted by Stokowski or Toscanini, but others as well. There are some real gems out there. I suggest that if you are not into this music, you allow yourself time to adjust, because it goes at a different pace and mindset than swing music. Tragically many of these classical 78s are destroyed because no one takes interest in them. As I have become accustomed to them, I crave them more and more. Bulky and inconvenient they are, but there are many pieces that are conducted and played so incredibly, and are unlike much of what you might find today.
