'Whether it was prudent of Debussy to introduce his little daughter
and her golly to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde so early in their joint
career is entirely a family matter. He clearly enjoyed making fun of
that inescapable nineteenth-century landmark. Stokowski gives in 1949
a beautifully stylish and pointed version of the "Cake-Walk", with its
improbable "trio" devoted to the death-doomed lovers.
'Would that our younger conductors might devote more time to studying
musician****p of Stokowski's calibre and less to fussing tediously
about original instruments.'
- an extract from Robert Anderson's CD review in today's Music &
Vision magazine.
