STOKOWSKI, LEOPOLD, Conductor (Sto-koff’ ay
Leopold Stokowski is one of the greatest living masters of that most gigantic, most sensitive and most difficult of all musical instruments—the symphony orchestra—with its hundred or more individual wills. The mind of the great orchestral conductor is much like that of the simultaneous blindfold chess-player; who must not only keep the functions of many separate pieces in mind, but also their bearings upon one another; and he has this added difficulty, that he does not deal with inere mathematical certainties, but with the plastic material of human emotion and the evanescent human sense of beauty. Stokowski’s achievements in this peculiar sphere have become part of the true history—the inner history—of music in America. He continues to make history, by bringing his music to a larger audience by means of sound film.
Stokowski is of Polish origin—was educated in Germany, France and England. In 1912 he became conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, raising it to the front rank of the world’s organizations. His recordings as its conductor are listed under the heading “Philadelphia Orchestra,”’ in this section.
