Stokowski and Mitropoulos - two fascinating conductors

On CD 1 Stokowski, a committed Brahmsian, offers a fresh account of the sunny First Serenade, while Mitropoulos contributes two popular short works by Prokofiev.

CD 2, devoted to African-American music, presents William Dawson's Negro Folk Symphony, a work premièred (1934) and championed by Stokowski, paired with Mitropoulos's recording of Howard Swanson Night Music for chamber ensemble
