When he left the the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1940, Leopold Stokowski set about creating a brand new orchestra made up of young musicians from all over the United States. It was called the All-American Youth Orchestra and in the summer of 1940 it made a goodwill tour of South America. It also recorded many 78rpm discs, including the 10" coupling heard here which accorded with the patriotic spirit of the times, recorded in July 1940 and thus very historic in sound quality.
