Crane Chorus, from the Crane Department of Music at the State University Teachers College at Potsdam, NY (as they were called at that time) was invited to participate in the performance. The orchestra was The Symphony of the Air, which was the successor to Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra. The concert was recorded by the Voice of America, and a tape copy of that recording resides in The Crane School of Music’s archives. The Turkish Information Office in New York also issued a limited-edition LP record of the performance, which remains perhaps the most elusive of all of Stokowski’s recordings. In February of 2009 a copy of this record was listed on eBay by a dealer in Turkey. The record did not sell so, on behalf of The Crane School, I offered the dealer a lower price, which was graciously accepted. What may be the only known copy of this record now resides in The Crane School of Music archives. This presentation will describe the circumstances surrounding Crane’s invitation to participate in this performance, and the recent acquisition of the record by The Crane School. Several excerpts from the performance, taken from the tape copy in Crane’s archives, will be played. Pending permission from the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, the opening work on the program, Anis Fuleihan’s Invocation to Isis, will also be played. The Fuleihan work is also unique among Stokowski’s recorded performances, and has never been issued in any form."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["Copyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}}],"summary":{"en":["On November 25, 1958 Leopold Stokowski conducted the North American premier of Turkish composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun’s oratorio Yunus Emre in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations in New York City.
