Made over a span of six years\n(1927 – 1933), they were the first integral set of the works offered on\ndisc.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBrahms’s First Symphony was something of a calling card for Stokowski\nthroughout his career. It featured on his debut program with the London\nSymphony Orchestra in 1912, and later that year was the main work at his\nfirst concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He recorded it commercially\nfive times, more than any other Brahms symphony.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 1927 performance presented here, the first electrical recording of any\nBrahms symphony, was prefaced by a spoken outline of themes by Stokowski.\nAs with his contemporaneous recording of the Beethoven Seventh (reissued on\nPristine PASC 483), Stokowski plays selected illustrations on the piano.\nProbably because the conductor tended to turn away from the microphone\nwhile still speaking in order to play his excerpts, later such recordings\nused Philadelphia assistant conductors Artur Rodziński and Sylvan Levin at\nthe keyboard.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nStokowski had recorded the Weber \u003cem\u003eInvitation to the Dance\u003c\/em\u003e earlier\nin a cut acoustic version (PASC 192) using Weingartner’s arrangement. For\nhis first electrical recording of the work, he chose the more familiar\nBerlioz orchestration, but added to it some of his own touches such as\nhaving the solo exchanges in the opening played by the entire cello\nsection, and distributing some of the “replies” to the oboe in addition to\nBerlioz’ clarinet and flute.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe two Strauss waltzes were the first recordings made in the Academy of\nMusic. They utilized a reduced ensemble of only 66 players, and abridged\nthe works to fit to a single side each, as had been the custom in the\nacoustic days. (It would not be until 1976, a year before his death, that\nStokowski would finally record a completely uncut \u003cem\u003eTales from the Vienna Woods\u003c\/em\u003e, running 15 minutes long!)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe final work on our program, Liszt’s Second Hungarian Rhapsody, was a\nfavorite Stokowski “lollipop” which became progressively more exaggerated\nover the years (see especially Stokowski’s filmed performance of it in \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Men and a Girl\u003c\/em\u003e), but never lost its sense of playful\nfun. The recording heard here shows off the incredible virtuosity of the\nPhiladelphia Orchestra, truly an ensemble which had no superior at the\ntime.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe sources for the transfers were pre-war Victor “Z” pressings for all\nexcept the \u003cem\u003eBlue Danube\u003c\/em\u003e, which came from a Victor “Gold” label\ncopy, and \u003cem\u003eVienna Woods\u003c\/em\u003e, which came from a vinyl test pressing.

The Second was next to be\nrecorded, followed by the Fourth; but both proved problematic, requiring\nadditional takes ranging from a single side to an entire remake.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter recording the Second Symphony over two consecutive days in April,\n1929, Stokowski decided to remake Side 6, the second side of the second\nmovement, eleven months later. Apparently, neither producer nor conductor\nremembered where the original take began, and the remake started twelve\nmeasures late, leaving out nearly a minute of music. Incredibly, no one\nnoticed the missing bars before the recording was released. When the gap\nwas discovered, a take from the earlier sessions was quickly substituted. The remake can be heard as a bonus track in all downloads as well as the free MP3 download package offered with all online CD purchases, while the take from the original sessions is presented within this release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn his book, \u003cem\u003eConducting the Brahms Symphonies\u003c\/em\u003e, critic Christopher\nDyment had a mixed verdict regarding the performance, saying that while it\ncontains “a Classically balanced first movement,” it is “succeeded by an\noverripe \u003cem\u003eAdagio\u003c\/em\u003e and two further movements markedly lacking in\nrhythmic lift and forward impetus,” a charge similar to that levied against\nthe last movement of Stokowski’s 1928 Brahms Third. Dyment goes on to note\nthat Stokowski later revised his approach to the last three movements:\n“[T]he 1950 New York Philharmonic [issued on Pristine PASC 215] and\nBavarian Radio broadcasts replace the early, somewhat turgid style with\nsomething altogether fleeter and, in the finale, with a drive that tests\nboth orchestras to their limits.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMore successful as an interpretation was Stokowski’s approach to the Brahms\nFourth; but here, he was undercut by substandard recorded sound. During the\nearly years of the Depression, Victor recorded the Philadelphia Orchestra\nin a Camden, New Jersey church converted to a studio in order to avoid\nhaving to rent the Academy of Music. Reduced forces were used, cutting the\nstrings from 18-18-12-12-10 to 6-6-4-5-3. By 1934, sessions were held in\nthe larger area of the church’s nave, listed on the ledgers as “Church\nStudio No. 2”; but in the period from 1931 through 1933, most were made in\nwhat orchestra harpist Edna Phillips’ described to her biographer as “a\nSunday school room on the second floor,” devoid of reverberation (which has\nbeen added in this transfer).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAdded to this is another anomaly. The Fourth Symphony had initially been\nrecorded in April, 1931 on 14 10-inch sides. Album number M-108 was\nallocated to this version, but it was apparently never released. (Transfers\nof this version from test pressings have been issued on LP and CD.) Nearly\ntwo years later, the present recording was made in the same venue, with\nsimilarly reduced forces. While Stokowski would go on to re-record the\nSecond Symphony only once in 1977, at the very end of his career, he made\ntwo further recordings of the Fourth, one with the All-American Youth\nOrchestra in 1940, and a second with the New Philharmonia, following its\nappearance in his final London concert in 1974.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--heading\"\u003eClick below to expand track listing:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--heading\"\u003eSTOKOWSKI Brahms: Symphony No. 1 (1927) - PASC500\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n1. \u003cstrong\u003eOutline of Themes from Brahms’ Symphony No. 1\u003c\/strong\u003e (3:55)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRecorded 30 April 1927 in the Victor Studios, Camden, New Jersey\u003cbr\u003eMatrix no.: CVE 38606-1 ∙ First issued on Victor 6657\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e BRAHMS: Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n2. 1st Mvt. – Un poco sostenuto – Allegro (12:36)\u003cbr\u003e3. 2nd Mvt. – Andante sostenuto (8:30)\u003cbr\u003e4. 3rd Mvt. – Un poco allegretto e grazioso (4:24)\u003cbr\u003e5. 4th Mvt. – Adagio – Allegro non troppo ma con brio (15:18)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRecorded 25 – 27 April 1927 in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia\u003cbr\u003eMatrix nos: CVE 37483-2, 37484-2, 37485-2, 37486-1, 37487-2, 37488-2,\n37489-1, 37490-2, 37491-1 \u0026amp; 37492-2\u003cbr\u003eFirst issued on Victor 6658 through 6662 in album M-15\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n6.\n\u003cstrong\u003e\nWEBER (orch.
