"Passion and pageantry imbue every note from Stokowski's inscription of Swan Lake... Bright sound and warm orchestral tone saturate this splendid restoration." Audiophile Audition

"'Arresting'. That is the word I wrote down the first time I heard the opening of this disc. It literally took my breath away. It still does every time I listen to it again." Maestrino

"...unless your purist and terpsichorean hackles rise at the impudence of the London-born magician you will soon submit to most of his blandishments." Classical CD Reviews

Blessed with some outstanding solo work from members of the NBC Symphony, Stokowski brings out the melody and drama inherent in Tchaikovsky's score.
