Glazunov: Violin Concerto - Silvia Marcovici; Stokowski conducts LSO

In 1972, Stokowski celebrated his 90th birthday and also the 60th Anniversary of his debut with the London Symphony Orchestra. To mark these two events, he conducted the LSO at the Royal Festival Hall in the same programme that they’d played in 1912. It included the Glazunov Violin Concerto which in 1912 had been played by Efrem Zimbalist. For the 1972 anniversary repeat it was performed by Silvia Marcovici. This is the only extant film of Leopold Stokowski conducting a violin concerto.
