Stravinsky 'Petrushka' Suite - Stokowski conducts in Stockholm

Leopold Stokowski made the first American recording of Stravinsky's "Petrushka" with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1937. In later years he often conducted a Suite from the ballet, especially on his foreign tours. This performance featured in a 1967 television relay from Stockholm in which Stokowski conducted the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The other item on this short TV 'special' was Stokowski's own arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, also now uploaded here via this link ...

Подарить цветы арфисткам - очень мило, великодушие гения, поступок, вызывающий слёзы.

I just love to watch him conduct! Nobody like him. Unbelievably exciting performance. *(I wonder if Yuja Wang studied this performance when she was learning the piano version?)* 😎🎹

What a lovely gesture when he takes flowers from his bouquet and presents each of his harpists with a tribute.

[@Zeitoper]

Yeah, those were probably the women who "caught his eye..."

[@ClarinetistsMusic]

Love it!!!

[@guidepost42]

I like how he changed tempo in the 2nd bar.

[@lenartnascimento1729]

Sensacional! Bravíssimo!

[@marcuspeck963]

What a treat!

[@SymphonyATM]

Genial!!

[@verasantarelli4088]

Meraviglioso Stokowski colora ogni nota! Petruška è stato avvicinato alla figure di Pierrot , ma a parte una certa malinconia , non ha nulla a che vedere con il burattino popolare russo che è nella tradizione burlone e manesco .... Grande esecuzione!

Leopold!

[@culturehorse]

Manifique!

[@remixuereb]

On voit bien par la façon de diriger l'orchestre que Léopold Stochowski était un immense chef d'orchestre qui a beaucoup oeuvré pour faire aimer la musique classique parmi des publics ignorants ....

[@camillehocde8195]

C'est un peu péjoratif comme mot "ignorant" non ?

[@muslit]

He also changed the orchestration at the end.

[@adam28xx]

In fact, he used Stravinsky's own shortened "concert suite" ending.
