Leopold Stokowski

Flamboyant, latterly white-maned, U.S. conductor known best for his popularization of classical music. (He is also known for teaching 'Mickey Mouse' a few things about music in 'Walt Disney' (qv)'s _Fantasia (1940)_ (qv), in which Stokowski was featured with the Philadelphia Orchestra). He was a pioneer in the use of hi-fi sound and bringing great music to the screen.::Bill Takacs < [email protected]>
