This track comes from a new CD reissue of one of Leopold Stokowski's rarer 1950s LPs. It was entitled "Early Italian Music" and featured music by Vivaldi, Cesti, Lully, Palestrina, Gabrieli and Frescobaldi, whose 'Gagliarda' is heard here in Stokowski's own orchestral transcription. It is the second piece in Book 2 of Frescobaldi's 'Five Gagliards' and sounds rather more sumptuous here than when played on a harpsichord! Also on this new release are three Bach-Stokowski recordings from the same period which again are making their first appearance on CD. Visit the Pristine Audio website for full details of this new release entitled "A Renaissance and Baroque Concert." Mark Obert-Thorn was the transferring engineer and the Catalogue Number is PASC 391.
