1970 UK Stereo Original Housed In A Laminated Cover. Appears Glossy, Unplayed. Leopold Stokowski Conducting The Chicago Symphony Orchestra. “Shostakovich's Symphonies 5 And 6 Marked A Change In Style From His Earlier Works, Perhaps A Result Of Stalin's Censure Of His Music In 1936. Stokowski's Conducting Is Taut, Powerful, And Highly Dramatic Without Being Bombastic, Yet Full Of Room-Filling, Voluptuous Orchestral Tone. On A Full Quad ESL-63/SW-63 System, The Orchestra's Soundstage Seems Limitless; One Swims In Instrumental Sonorities, The Warmth Of The Celli, And Chamber-Style Textures. The Soprano Saxophone In The Age Of Gold Suite Is Stunningly Three-Dimensional And Vividly Clear. This Is Fresh, Invigorating Music, And A Great Example Of Stokowski's Energy, Clarity, And Orchestral Command.” Larry Greenhill.
