    this and other Kostelanetz recordings for reissue. He was a first-rate conductor and that "Queen of Spades" LP showed he could produce
    results which equalled anything Lenny ever did with the NYPO.

    Fancy this thread popping up from 17 years ago. Since then of course there have been masses of Kostelanetz uploads on YouTube. These include a couple of excerpts from a fuzzy 1961 TV broadcast with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Here he is in the "
    Polovtsian Dances" with the CSO being rather rushed off its feet. I suspect that AK wanted to make sure the programme didn't over-run its allotted time in the TV schedules ...
