Leopold Stokowski, The Stadium Symphony Orchestra Of New York, Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No 5
Review by bruno raffaele
The album Symphony No 5 by Leopold Stokowski, The Stadium Symphony Orchestra Of New York, Dmitri Shostakovich is a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of the composer and the musicians who performed it. The album comprises of four movements, each distinct in its own way, yet seamlessly flowing into one another.
The first movement opens with a somber and melancholic theme that is soon replaced by a more upbeat and energetic melody. The orchestra displays a remarkable sense of unity and precision, with each instrument blending in perfectly with the others. The second movement is marked by a beautiful melody played by the strings, which is then taken up by the woodwinds and brass. The third movement is the most intense and dramatic of the four, with the orchestra reaching its peak in terms of energy and passion. The final movement is a triumphant and uplifting conclusion to the symphony, with the orchestra delivering a powerful and memorable performance.
Leopold Stokowski's interpretation of Shostakovich's Symphony No 5 is nothing short of brilliant. He brings out the nuances and subtleties of the music with great finesse, while also infusing it with his own unique style and flair. The Stadium Symphony Orchestra Of New York, under Stokowski's direction, delivers a flawless performance that is both technically proficient and emotionally resonant.

Notes
- From a ClassicalNet review of the remastered Everest CD by Robert Stumpf II.
- "The remastered sound in this disc is more involving than the EMI (CD: Janson, Oslo Philharmonic). It is almost as if Stokowski had been listening to Shostakovich's Quartets and saw this symphony in that light. The interplay of the orchestra catches my attention again and again. There is a more oriental atmosphere here than in any other interpretation. The strings have more of a poignancy than the Oslo Philharmonic. In all, this is my favorite recording of this masterpiece and arguably one of the best ever."

Who did the drawing ????
As far as I konw, this recording is the most attractive and irresistible. It reminds me of my good old days and makes me happy. Thank you.
shitty performance.
I bought this vinyl way back in the autumn of 1974 at my college bookstore when I found out our school orchestra (in which I played tuba) was to perform it the following spring. This is the recording of Dmitri's 5th that I keep going back to; I can always tell it is this one by the blown trumpet note at 4:02 in the first movement. Leopold must have been under time constraints in the studio that prevented another take of this movement. Either that or there were worse errors in the other takes. Ha ha. Anyway. This recording seems to sound overall much better than my (now worn out) vinyl. It is my understanding that many of Everest's recordings have been digitally remastered for CD. Perhaps this was, too. Many, many thanks.
Farbenprächtige Aufführung dieses erregenden Meisterwerks mit brillanten Töne der Metallbläser, klaren Töne der Holzbläser und gut phrasierten Töne der Streicher. Der erfahrene Dirigent leitet das US-Amerikanische Orchester im angemessenen Tempo fast ohne filmmusikalischen Effekt. Hörenswert!
Magnificent symphony,great performance????????
