In late 1925 (October 6, 7, and December 8,1925) Stokowski made his first electrical recording ( Used under lisenced by Western Electric Vitaphone system ) of a symphony: the Dvorak Symphony No.5 (9) "From the New World", opus 95. Played by Orthophonic Vctrola " CREDENZA "
4th movement part 1
Thank you. That was wonderful.

First of all, thank you for playing a classical piece on your Othrophonic - it's the only way, IMO, to appreciate the advance that electrical recording made to the recording science. This disc really accentuates the brass. Violins wound have to wait a few more years to be properly recorded, unless this was Stokowski's intention. Interesting that the numbering of Dvorak's symphonies has changed over the years.
