Leopold Stokowski returned to conduct the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1960 after an absence of nearly twenty years. He gave further concerts there over the next few years and one of them from 1962 has been released in its entirety on CD, the copyright in the broadcast having expired. The most atmospheric item on the programme was Stokowski's own evocative orchestration of Debussy's piano piece "La Soiree dans Grenade" ('Night in Granada') marred here and there, unfortunately, by one or two bronchial members of the Philadelphia audience!
