Thank you so much! This is the exact version I remember since my childhood in the late 50'. It was one of the Pieces that my father loved to play its records and tried to teach me to love it too... No doubt, he had a success...!
I have to say that as much as I like popular music from the 30s and 40s, I also really love classical pieces recorded then, particularly when conducted by Stokowski or Toscanini, but others as well. There are some real gems out there. I suggest that if you are not into this music, you allow yourself time to adjust, because it goes at a different pace and mindset than swing music. Tragically many of these classical 78s are destroyed because no one takes interest in them. As I have become accustomed to them, I crave them more and more. Bulky and inconvenient they are, but there are many pieces that are conducted and played so incredibly, and are unlike much of what you might find today.
I just signed up to a certain music streamlining service and almost nothing came up for “Stokowski”. But his passionate Romantic style is completely different to the modern interpretations.
Stokie's reign was the beginning of what became known as the "Philadelphia Sound" Eugene Ormandy went on to perfect it. He was criticized for not putting his personal stamp on the orchestra. However, he was more interested in showing how brilliant the orchestra was and still is, many years after his death. There have been four music directors since Ormandy's retirement and death, but it's still the same outstanding orchestra and beloved by audiences around the world. As for Warner Bros., yes, a lot of people are unaware that they are hearing classical music for the first time as children watching zany cartoons.
I'm not really into classical music that much. I played a dozen or so records from the collection, singles like this one, and most just didn't interest me. These are part of a large collection of about 4500 78s I bought from a long time collector, with probably 800-900 classical, many in nearly new condition. There were 2 of these Hungarian Rhapsody's, one released in 1926 on the red Victrola label and this one released about 1935 on the red Victor label, both the very same recording..
Thank you for posting!
Many of us became familiar with classical music by watching Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry cartoons. I was in my 30's before I knew the name of this!
Beautiful! Thank you for posting!

Love the table.

I once had this set from 1926. Sounded great on my Victrola, which was not orthophonic.
You got a large collection of superb Classical Music? Hope you can post some of them on your channel soon!

Sounds like you may need a thicker needle for this one, but very beautiful anyway.
