Poulenc Pastoral Concerto, Landowska, Stokowski NY Philharmonic 1949
Published 2024-07-21
Featured performer is Wanda Landowska, the Polish harpsichordist and pianist.
The performance was broadcast by CBS, and recorded locally in Minnesota off of WCCO by Reynolds Marchant. Unfortunately the recording was done a little too hot so the loudest parts are a bit distorted. Otherwise the sound is quite good.
