Stokowski conducts Russian Masterworks RIMSKY-KORSAKOV; STRAVINSKY; PROKOFIEV; TCHAIKOVSKY In 1941, Stokowski took over the NBC Symphony Orchestra from Toscanini and recorded some Russian repertoire which had never been conducted by the Italian maestro. Contemporary reviews of the original 78s referred to the NBC Orchestra as sounding “golden and vital” in Stokowski's hands.
