“Stravinsky and Stokowski”, played by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by the Echo Klassik Conductor of the Year Yannick Nézet-Séguin, is a musical tribute to Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) who spent some of his most important years in charge of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1922 he conducted the American premiere of Igor Strawinsky's revolutionary ballet score The Rite of Spring.
