Stokowski made the first American LP of the "Tallis Fantasia" for RCA in 1952 with a specially selected band of New York string players, including such eminent soloists as William Lincer, viola, and Leonard Rose, cello. Stokowski's version was quite different to those by such conductors as Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Malcolm Sargent and Sir John Barbirolli, so don't expect a typically 'English' reading! But as it was one of the first recordings of the work to come out of the USA it has a certain historic interest. (Cala CACD0542).
