Here's a fun one...from Harmony HL 7129, the great Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting his Minneapolis Symphony in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, a couple Slavonic Dances by Dvorak, the coronation march from Meyerbeer's 'The Prophet," Lalo's overture to Le roi d'Ys, and Gliere's Russian Sailors Dance.
I love the work of Mitropoulos. Everything he put his hand to created a kind of electricity and nervous energy. These "lollipops" as Beecham would say, positively sparkle under Mitropoulos. The orchestra is with him every step of the way and these pieces come off sounding more important then they really are.
Enjoy!
