Description:

[Tower Records "Sony Classical" Special Selection 10th Season] For the past few years, "Tower Records "Sony Classical" Special Selection" has been reissuing many famous recordings of Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra every year. The Philadelphia Orchestra in his home country has also been reissued. The Philadelphia Orchestra has been praising this reissue, recognizing it as "an important project to revive their history in the present. The Philadelphia Orchestra has also recognized that this is "an important project to revive their history to the present day. The two recordings of Vivaldi by Ormandy recorded in 1959 and 1960 are coupled together. The "Four Seasons" arranged by Maripiero is an album that conveys the charm and magnificence of the rich string sound of the Phila Orchestra rather than the authenticity of Baroque music, and the impeccable solo of the famous concert master, Anchel Boursillou, is also a must-hear. The four concertos featuring two virtuosos, Oistrakh and Stern, are truly sumptuous, and this album has been highly acclaimed as a masterpiece since the LP era. Recorded: March 19, April 11 & May 1, 1960, etc. / Location: Broadwood Hotel, Philadelphia; Columbia 30th Street Studios, New York City
