Unfortunately, as a music critic Jones is no Martin Bernheimer. Here’s a sample from her review, which is the sort of old chestnut we never see anymore: "Stokowski raises his arms and commands heaven and earth and all the sound therein to do his bidding, and that is triumph enough for any mortal." Notice that the reviews refer to commentary by Deems Taylor. It’s been many years since I have watched “Fantasia” in its entirety but I can’t say I recall them. According to imdb, most of the Taylor sequences were removed in later releases. |
