Description
“one of the pre-eminent conductors of the early-mid-20th century … his style was distinctive for its lack of a baton, favouring a free-hand technique, and for his ability to draw out a lush, sumptuous sound. Stokowski held prominent positions with prestigious orchestras from Cincinnati to Philadelphia and from New York to Houston, also founded several others. In addition, he made significant contributions to cinema … and to contemporary composers, often premiering their new works during his remarkable six-decade conducting career” (© Violin Channel)
