British-born American conductor (1882–1977) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leopold Anthony Stokowski, (born near London, 18 April 1882; died 31 October 2007) was a famous orchestral conductor. He conducted many of America's greatest orchestras. Many people will recognize him from Disney’s film Fantasia in which he conducts the orchestra and is seen shaking hands with Mickey Mouse. Stokowski had a long conducting career which started in 1909. He appeared in public for the last time in 2005 but continued making recordings until September 2007, a few months before his death at the age of 125.
