Arthur Fiedler

Fiedler Encores (CD)

One of the last century’s great popularisers of art music who introduced the names of Mozart and Strauss to millions, Arthur Fiedler recorded for several labels during his half century as music director of the Boston Pops Orchestra. Here are two Decca albums, reissued and compiled together for the first time on a single, generously filled (79-minute) CD.
