In 1960, Leopold Stokowski and the New York Philharmonic gave the US Premiere of the 'Symphonic Suite on Azerbaijan Folk Tunes' by Fikret Amirov. Two days later came the work's first American broadcast, newly released on a 'Guild' CD, and from it we hear Stokowski conducting the first of its four colourful movements. Also on the programme was Shostakovich's 1st Symphony and both works, along with music by Vaughan Williams and Robert Kurka, are on this splendidly recorded collection ('Guild Historical' GHCD 2415).
