Celebrating Frederick Stock

This broadcast celebrates Frederick Stock! The CSO’s second music director opens the program with the ensemble’s first commercial recording —Mendelssohn’s Wedding March from A Midsummer Night’s Dream—and closes with his own arrangement of Paganini’s Moto perpetuo. The other works included all received their U.S. premieres under Stock’s baton: Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto, Elgar’s Violin Concerto, and Scriabin’s Prometheus, in recordings featuring Maurizio Pollini, Itzhak Perlman, Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim, and Pierre Boulez.
