One of the most important conductors of the twentieth century
in two live performances from 1969. Stokowski leads the Orchestra Giovanile

its premiere season in a stirring performance of Beethoven’s Seventh
Symphony. This is preceded by Stokowski’s singular interpretation
of Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, performed
by the Orchestra della Radiotelevisione della Svizzera Italiana and featuring
a newly-discovered stereo soundtrack. Black & White, 53 minutes.
