- Introduction and bridal procession from The Golden Cockerel, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Antal Doráti conducts the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra on March 13th, 1951.
This performance was part of the annual young people’s concert put on by the Minneapolis Symphony, and held over multiple days at (I believe) different venues. This performance was at Northrop Auditorium.
This concert was broadcast on local radio station KUOM. We are blessed with an absolutely crystal clear recording - very exciting! We get to hear the conductor himself introduce the piece.

This recording was made during KUOM's live broadcast of the Minneapolis Symphony's Tuesday afternoon Young People's Concert on March 13, 1951. Mendelssohn's "Fingal's Cave" was the opening work on the program, followed by the finale of Schubert's Fifth Symphony; then three French dances by Gretry were followed by the three Spanish dances of de Falla; and the concert closed with these two orchestral excerpts from the Rimsky-Korsakov opera "The Golden Cockerel." Mr. Marchant apparently recorded the whole concert -- and (thank you! thank you!) all the selections are posted on this Marchant Project TH-cam channel.
Many of those children, probably, still go to the opera today... such a great introduction.
