Something special this weekend – a Hollywood Bowl broadcast, featuring the Los Angeles Philiharmonic, guest conducted by Serge Koussevitsky and featuring the 30-year old violin-wunderkind Issac Stern in an all-Tchaikovsky concert.
Featured are:
All-Tchaikovsky Concert at The Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles Philharmonic, Serge Koussevitsky, guest Conductor – Issac Stern, violin.
1. Overture – Romeo and Juliet
2. Violin Concerto in D Major (featuring Issac Stern, violin solo).
From the broadcast of September 9, 1950. Original discs are a little noisy, but it’s livable. A rare concert that hasn’t seen the light of reissue anywhere.
Enjoy – and tell your friends. They may not hear this anyplace else.
