This album is an inarguable classic, a veritable primer for anyone interested in learning more about straight classical music, and belongs in the collection of any well-rounded soundtrack fan.Īll of the old standards are on display here (many of them having attained their classic status thanks to this historic recording). In the glut of the latest batch of Disney soundtrack reissues (including everything from The Little Mermaid to Newsies) majestically sits the 1990 digital remastering of legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski's original tracks to the 1940 animation extravaganza Fantasia.
