Stokowski often conducted Beethoven in his long career but this is the only extant performance of the great maestro conducting the Overture to 'The Creatures of Prometheus.'  It comes from an American Symphony concert given in 1971 and commences an all-Beethoven CD issued by 'CRQ Editions' on which Stokowski also conducts the Triple Concerto and 2nd Symphony (CRQ CD250).
NOTE: although the magazine 'Classical Recordings Quarterly' was wound down a while ago, it's sister website 'CRQ Editions' still issues historic recordings to order. This 'Prometheus' Overture comes from a Stokowski / Beethoven CD Series of many 'live' performances that include works he never recorded commercially.
