Stokowski Conducts Music From Russia, Vol.III by Leopold Stokowski. Find album reviews, track lists, credits, awards and more at AllMusic.
The eternally youthful 87-year-old Leopold Stokowski was at the top of his form for this remarkable concert on June 15, 1969. The highlight of that occasion was clearly Stokowski's orgiastic interpretation of Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy.
Authors: Leopold Stokowski (Conductor), Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky, M. I. Glinka, Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky, Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, Aleksandr Nikolayevich Scriabin, Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov, Aleksandr Porfirʹevich Borodin
The disc contains performances directed by the 87 year-old Leopold Stokowski on one of his London appearances during the Indian summer of his career. Purists might not approve of everything he does but there’s no denying the élan of the performances.

Stokowski reserves ominous power in his own splendid orchestration. Veterans will not necessarily want to hear yet another Russian Easter Overture but this one has a famous Stoky twist – the replacement of the solo trombone by the bass Nicola Moscona.
To provide a few examples of Stokowski’s musical shenanigans; in the Russian Easter Festival Overture, the conductor replaces the bass trombone soloist with an actual bass, having the Greek-American Nicola Moscona intone the Old Slavonic of the Orthodox Easter service.
