	Leopold Stokowski, All-American Youth Orchestra, Forever Young
		Stokowski took full advantage of the AAYO's ability and desire to respond to his exclusive direction, and produced performances that went even beyond the interpretive extremes that were both the bane and the glory of his deeply personal art.
		Stokowski was a capricious conductor who delighted in tweaking interpretive tradition, particularly in the standard repertoire.
		Instead of the steady sensual buildup of the score, Stokowski's volume and tempo heave and lurch: he adds a huge swell of sound to the end of each repetition of the sinuous melody, and the whole thing is over in a mere twelve minutes (rather than a "normal" sixteen or so).

	Leopold Stokowski (Conductor, Arranger) - Short Biography
		Leopold Stokowski gave the orchestra an entirely new sound, popularly known as the "Philadelphia sound" or the "Stokowski Sound." Its foundation was a luxuriant, sonorous tone and an exacting attention to color.
		A relentless innovator, Stokowski experimented with orchestral seating, famously lining up the string basses across the rear of the stage and, in an early instance, massing all the violins on the left side of the orchestra and the cellos on the right.
		Following his tenure in Philadelphia, Leopold Stokowski directed several other ensembles, including the All-American Youth Orchestra (which he founded), the NBC Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic (both as co-conductor), the Houston Symphony Orchestra (1955-1960), and the American Symphony Orchestra, which he organized in 1962.

	Leopold Stokowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Stokowski rapidly garnered a reputation as a showman.
		Stokowski also claimed to have made his own orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, in which he omitted two of the movements from the score; the composer and arranger Lucien Cailliet actually created the orchestration.

	Leopold Stokowski -- The Phase Four Recordings, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Leopold Stokowski, alone among famous conductors, was fascinated by technology and was constantly in the forefront of each innovation throughout his long career, which extended from acoustic to quad.
		Stokowski would undoubtedly be less pleased, though, with the straightforward CD transfers, which preserve all of the severe overload distortion of the original LPs.
		Had Stokowski lived to the digital era, he surely would be back in the studio rerecording his core repertoire yet again in state of the art sound.

	Leopold Stokowski
		Leopold Stokowski, when I worked with him, looked very much like he did when the star of 'Fantasia', with a sheaf of white hair, combed straight back from his face, and a navy blue pin-striped suit, navy shirt (silk, no doubt).
		Toward the middle of the year, a few of the youngest members of the orchestra (I, at 20, was the baby), were invited to appear with the maestro on a live television talk show with a newspaper columnist, Hy Gardner.
		Stokowski was seated with the TV host at a table, and we were standing behind.

	Penn Special Collections - Stokowski/Introduction
		One of the most influential conductors of his generation, Leopold Stokowski was at the same time one of the most controversial.
		Leopold Stokowski was devoted to the performance of "modern" music and despite protestations from audiences and orchestra boards alike, he consistently programmed contemporary compositions alongside more canonical fare throughout his career.
		Stokowski's unorthodoxy is perhaps his greatest legacy, for it was his willingness to take risks and challenge convention that occasioned his most significant triumphs.

	SoundStage! Leopold Stokowski - Vaughan Williams, Purcell, Dvorak
		Leopold Stokowski studied at the Royal College of Music in London -- at 13, he was the youngest student there -- and his first professional engagement was as a church organist in London.
		Stokowski's organ teacher at the RCM was Sir Walter Parratt, among whose students was also Ralph Vaughan Williams, ten years Stokowski's senior.
		But, to reiterate, what really convinces me about this performance (as with Stokowski's two earlier recordings, his 1952 once available on a Sony reissue, and the 1974 live Royal Albert Hall performance, on a BBC disc) is that he gets right to the heart of the matter.

	Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra - 4 CD set from Music & Arts
		The association of Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) with the Philadelphia Orchestra produced the 20th Century's first substantial repertory committed to sound recordings.
		Stokowski had recorded this movement with his orchestra in 1922, but it was not issued, nor was the project carried through for the centennial of the composer's birth.
		Most unusual is Stokowski's arrangement of Handel's sonata for his second Chandos Anthem as an Overture in D Minor (1935), permitting us to savor the Philadelphia string trill and the Kincaid-Tabuteau combination.

		Stokowski seems, in this work, to be building a bridge across the golden firmament such is its majestic awe and regal pacing.
		Stokowski here shows lessons learnt from the Rachmaninov works he championed such as the Third Symphony as well as ladling on the starry treatment.
		Stokowski is quite understated at first - almost modest - much the same as he is in the finale.

	classical music - andante - leopold stokowski: conductor
		But the great pioneer was Stokowski, who worked over every detail of his recordings from the beginning — from reseating the musicians in unaccustomed places to assisting with the engineering to learning as much as he could about the recording process himself.
		By 1932, Stokowski had made hours of experimental stereo recordings for RCA; by 1940, he was working in Hollywood with Walt Disney on Fantasia, and he lived long enough to experiment with quadrophonic sound.
		Stokowski's restlessness — his fascination with impression both in the concert hall and on record — led to disparagement in some purist circles.

	classical music - andante - wagner: leopold stokowski
		Stokowski's greatest recordings — his "symphonic" Wagner — are reborn.
		So, while I'm not convinced that Wagner would have necessarily approved of Stokowski's occasional creative liberties with his scores, the fact remains that composer and conductor were in rare sympathy as shamanistic showmen.
		Unlike most conductors, who traditionally begin their careers as pianists, violinists or cellists, Stokowski was an organist —; and he "played" the 100-odd men he had handpicked for the Philadelphia Orchestra as if they were separate pipes in the most sumptuous, versatile and smoothly blended organ ever devised.

		In the summer of 1940, Stokowski (1882-1977) was still the music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which he'd been conducting with innovative flair since 1912.
		At the Stokowski session, where he made his first vocal recordings, Cartola was accompanied by Mangueira composer/guitarist Aloísio Dias; a group of Mangueira percussionists including Preguiça, China, and Negro; and the samba school's pastoras, a feminine chorus made up of Neuma, Cecéia, Nadir, Ornélia, Guiomar, Nesilia, and Neguinha.
		And considering Stokowski's zeal for "the most legitimate native Brazilian music," the descriptions attached to the compositions are disappointingly inadequate.

		For those of us raised on the so-called “Stokowski Sound,” this album from a conducting acolyte of Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977), Jose Serebrier, revitalizes a concept the older conductor nurtured: the art of the orchestral transcription, scores Stokowski adapted for his Philadelphia Orchestra, 1922-1941.
		Stokowski loved to arrange folk and traditional melodies; besides his 1933 study on Russian Christmas motifs, he later organized Brazilian folk tunes for a Philadelphia tour to South America.
