Master Series 7 - ORCHESTRAL FANTASIA.

Arvo Volmer: Conductor
Bach Arr. Stokowski: Toccato and Fugue in D Minor
Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Stravinsky: The Firebird: Suite (1919)
Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks
Respighi: The Pines of Rome

Brace yourself for an unforgettable feast of colour and movement, from the exotic, voluptuous sonorities and orchestral plumage of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite to the bravura orchestra display of Strauss. No other podium wizard has used the orchestral palette as vividly as Leopold Stokowski, whose legendary arrangement of JS Bach's Toccata and Fugue, originally created for Walt Disney's Fantasia, allows every orchestral section to shine. The Sorcerer's Apprentice has long been many music lovers' first truly spell-binding musical experience. After two majestic showpieces from Stravinsky and Richard Strauss, what other climax could possibly top Respighi's depiction of Ancient Rome; more epic than any film score?
