He studied composition at Queen’s College in Oxford with Parry and Stanford and later went to the Paris Conservatoire. After playing the organ with great distinction at St. James’ in London, he was appointed organist and choir-master of St. Bartholomew's Church in New York. He began his meteoric orchestral career in 1909 j when he was appointed conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. This Orchestra attained a phenomenal level of virtuosity under his dynamic leadership. He resigned his post as musical director of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1936 but continued to conduct a few concerts with this organization during each season. Stokowski freed the symphonic repertoire from its bondage to the 19th century classical masters to include such contemporary composers as Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Roy Harris, Prokofiev, and Schoenberg. It was he who insisted on playing music of the moderns repeatedly, to the great distaste of his public, until they finally accepted them and, in fact, clamored for more. Stokowski is perhaps most widely known and admired for his popularizing of the organ music of Bach through his superb orchestral transcriptions. The formation of the All-American Orchestra, comprising America’s finest young musical talent, is one of his latest major achievements. Together with this orchestra, Mr. Stokowski has toured North and South America. The brilliant success of these tours has made musical history. *: Stokowski Recordings: ze Bolero (Ravel).......... set X-174 Prelude (ShostakovichP Firebird Suite STOKOWSKA) Sees ee 11524-D nl MS CRCIVIIISKGY Joe ota hese, oe set M-446 Star Spangled Banner, The Fugue in G minor (‘’The Little (IGG y;) Rae Ru pRB tee ee es 17204-D G Minor’’) (BachSymphony No. 4 in E minor, SEOKOWSEK) EE ec ren eae eene 11547-D Ope ce US LOntis) eras teases set M-452 God Bless America (Berlin).17204-D Invitation To The Dance (Weber—arr.
