Inspired by a review, I took off the shelf the CD of Leopold Stokowski's last London concert (May 1974, with the Philharmonia). Vaughan William's Tallis Fantasy, Ravel's Rapsodie Espagnole and last, but here certainly not least, Brahms' fourth symphony. The orchestral playing is truly superb throughout, and Stokowski's conducting without a blemish (at the age of 92). The Brahms brings heartfelt cheers from the audience (which even wishes to applaud after the end of the first movement -- quite understandably). The is a CD I must put on more often (the concert opens with Klemperer's Merry Waltz, in tribute to Otto who had died a few months previously).
