Matthias Bamert's distinguished conducting career includes a strong recording relationship with the BBC Philharmonic on Chandos, with famous series ranging from Korngold to Dohnányi.
One is Stokowski's transcriptions, the greatest of which are gathered on this album. This homage is an inspiring and original musical journey through the most popular pieces of classical music, such as Mozart's 'Turkish March', Chopin's 'Marche funèbre', and Mussorgsky's 'A Night on the Bare Mountain'.
