The Boston Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler Conductor – Pops Stoppers (1959):  Boston Pops is one of the most popular and successful symphony orchestras for the rest of us, with the flamboyant Arthur Fiedler serving as its conductor for a half century, being finally succeeded in 1980 by longtime movie composer John Williams.  As described by Joseph Stevenson for Allmusic:  “[Fiedler] devised an innovative format comprising three parts:  a popular symphony or concerto flanked by lighter music.”  The title of the album Pops Stoppers is a play on “show stoppers” and collects their most popular performances.  Forty years later, in 1999, Pops Stoppers was reissued on CD with additional material.  Some of the albums that I picked up in and around our yard after Katrina were actually not mine; I recently cross-checked the cleaned albums with my LP database and found this out.  One was a box set by Boston Pops Orchestra called Pops Varieties that has nine albums.
