Introducing the international debut Deutsche Grammophon orchestral album from leading French-Canadian conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin and the distinguished Philadelphia Orchestra.A powerful musical tribute to the mighty Leopold Stokowski (1882 1977), 35 years after his death, from the young conductor who now continues his legacy. Stokowski spent some of his most important and fruitful years in charge of the orchestra in Philadelphia, in a position that brought him some of his greatest accomplishments. Musical showmanship, free-thinking and a populist approach to contemporary music are characteristics of Stokowskis distinguished conducting and recording career.This new album focuses on Stravinskys daring, revolutionary and game-changing ballet score, The Rite of Spring given its American premiere performance by Stokowski and his Philadelphia Orchestra, and a work that reaches its centenary milestone in 2013. Plus a selection of popular Stokowski transcriptions, including the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor (J. S. Bach), as heard in its Stokowski version in Disneys classic Mickey Mouse movie, Fantasia. Beginning an important musical partnership for Deutsche Grammophon, expect the unexpected from one of the most exciting, energetic and insightful young maestros of our age.

I liked it, but not enough to keep. Like another reviewer said, a good start, but there is no fire here yet. I believe that he will get there soon, give him a good 5 solid years.
