Question for M O-T or Philly O fans....

[wanwan]

Did Stokie or Ormandy perform the Prelude to Act III of Tristan & Isolde during the tenure of Louis Rosenblatt the english horn player in the Philadelphia O? If there is was a broadcast, has it ever shown up on disc? I looked through the orchestra discography and there appears to be no commercial studio recording.

There are none that I'm aware of OTTOMH, but I'd have to comb through hundreds of broadcast listings in the PO logs to verify. There's no easier way I'm aware of to check it, unfortunately, since there's no convenient online source for the PO like the NYP's CARLOS database.

Yes, they did, in 1985, with conductor Dennis Russell Davies.

The OP asked whether Stokowski or Ormandy performed it.

Thanks. I was just curious as members of the orchestra have spoken highly of his work during his tenure with the orchestra.
