I don't like this version at all. Having play the "traditional version" two concerts ago I don't think I could have stand the rehearsals for this piece of music.
@MarianneAlkonost ... You're right. Stokowski abandoned the baton in the 1920s. The photo is of Paul Paray, one-time conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
out of all the different versions to this piece i prefer stokowski's version the most. hecatches the sinister feel that the piece is suppost to give off and makes it even more sinister by raising the pitches of certine instruments to give it that creep high pitch tone. thanks for posting
The power in this is amazing. I have heard this piece of music many times but never like this. Extraordinary!

It doesn't look like it is Leopold Stokowski on the photo! And he didn't use the baton!
But thank You for the record very very much!

I would love for the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra with Dudamel conducting it.

It sounds like Star Wars and Fantasia put together because this was the same Symphony Orchestra for Star Wars
