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 inert 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.
Stokowski is of English birth but American citizenship. : In 1912 he became conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra STOKOWSKI 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.

TETRAZZINI, LUISA, Soprano (Tet-trah-tzee’ -nee)
Mme. Tetrazzini has made one of the greatest successes in operatic history in this country, and has met with receptions almost unparalleled. During her last operatic engagements, the great Manhattan and Metropolitan Opera Houses in New York were crowded every time the famous soprano appeared, and she has been greeted with a series of tremendous ovations. It is not the habit of blasé New York audiences to go wild over a singer, but the Tetrazzini performances were the scenes of some most remarkable outbursts of enthusiasm.
The management of the Tivoli Opera House in San Francisco first brought Tetrazzini to the attention of the | | English-speaking world. Other countries had already dis|| he ie covered in her work qualities of extreme excellence; but it |/— _ -—remained for San Francisco to make her “world famous.” Bee Ae Her triumphs in London, New York and elsewhere are too well-known to require further mention.
It is perhaps enough to say here that this marvelous voice has been recorded in all its beauty and power on these superb Victor records, and the list contains the numbers with which Mme. Tetrazzini has made her greatest triumphs.
