Saint-Saëns “Danse Macabre“ - Stokowski conducts the National Philharmonic Orchestra

Leopold Stokowski conducts the National Philharmonic in Saint-Saëns “Danse Macabre.“ The recording was one of several short popular classics made in November 1975 with a specially constituted recording orchestra of top London players and freelance session musicians. Several months earlier, Stokowski had celebrated his 93rd birthday. The violin solo was played by concert-master Sidney Sax and the recording was made in the West Ham Central Mission, London.
