'Nothing is more exciting on this remarkable disc than the Wagner
excerpt. Stokowski's Youth Orchestra was founded in 1940, when the
country of his birth was already hideously involved in the Second
World War; it was disbanded two years later when Pearl Harbour brought
in the Americans too. The "binaural" recording has not been issued
before. It has all the elements concentrated on Wagner's warrior-
maidens in a ferocity that would have needed every Walt Disney
resource to capture adequately on screen. Gales howl round them,
downpours lash them, lightnings flash at them, as they press on
relentless to their mountain fastness.'
- Robert Anderson reviews a new CD from Cala Records in today's Music
& Vision
