This DVD pays tribute to one of the notable conductor personalities of the last century: Eugene Ormandy (1899-1985), energetic and graceful on the podium, with an infallible ear and prodigious memory. Ormandy became
famous for his relationship with the Philadelphia Orchestra, for which he served as Musical Director from 1936-1980.
Under his direction, the orchestra developed its legendary warm, textured, romantic "Philadelphia" or "Ormandy" sound.
These performances feature the 78-year-old Ormandy, who conducted the orchestra with unassuming gestures and eagle-eyed alertness in Gustav Holst's seven-movement symphony The Planets and Debussy's vivid tone-poem La Mer.
