  • Does anyone know if this been re-issued on cd (in stereo)? Pearl has re-issued it, but from the Amazon sound sample, it seems to be mono.

  • Wow. I can't believe a sound recording from 1932 could sound this good. Stereo just improves the quality so much.

  • Stokowski first conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1912. Their first recordings, for Victor, were in 1917 - two of the Brahms "Hungarian Dances" - in Camden, New Jersey. He last conducted the orchestra in 1972, before he moved to the U.K., where he spent his last years. His final recordings, with the National Philharmonic Orchestra, were made in 1977, just weeks before he died at 95!

  • These are the earliest surviving stereophonic recordings in the U.S. Sir Thomas Beecham also made some stereo recordings in the early 1930s in the U.K.

  • I cant't believe it (after 20 years of searching for the first stereo recordings)! A gift for the whole of human kind - thanks a lot!

    D A N K E !

  • Amazing sound quality - thanks for sharing!
