Leopold Stokowski - Philadelphia Orchestra Bibliography, Sources and Credits
Stokowski in about 1911 at the time of his marriage to Olga Samaroff
To read a brief biographical sketch of Leopold Stokowski, click here to go to the Leopold Stokowski Biography The Concerts of Leopold Stokowski and Robert M. Stumpf's Concert Register Robert M. Stumpf, II, long a leading Stokowski expert and prolific author and discerning commentator has created a Stokowski concert register covering Stokowski's debut with the Colonne Orchestra in Paris in 1909 (where Stokowski was discovered by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra representatives), through his final Philadelphia concerts of 1940.
Mr. Stumpf states that "...much of what I have produced here is based on the work of John Hunt...", referring to John Hunt's original Discography and Concert Register from the Leopold Stokowski Society, published in 1996. [Hunt, John. Leopold Stokowski. Discography. Concert register. Published by John Hunt. 1996. ISBN: 0-952827-5-9.]
Mr. Stumpf extensively added to and expanded the work of John Hunt, also using research of Frederick Fellers, with numerous corrections. This valuable concert register is a great and high-quality source of continuing interest. It is a major contribution to our knowledge of Stokowski's career, and being available on the web is a further benefit to research (link below).

Discographies and Disk Information:
Claude Graveley Arnold, C.S.B. has produced an amazingly comprehensive and painstakingly researched discography of the acoustic recordings of orchestral music from 1896 through to the change to electrical recording in 1926. Although we often think orchestral recordings being absent from the acoustic era, because of the serious challenge to capture a full orchestra within the physical and technical limitations of the acoustic process, C.G. Arnold's research reveals that there is more than (at least I) believed. His book is one of a series of excellent discographies from the Greenwood Press:
Arnold, Claude Graveley, C.S.B. The Orchestra on Record, 1896 - 1926, An Encyclopedia of Orchestral Recordings Made by the Acoustical Process. Discographies, Number 73, Greenwood Press, Westport Connecticut. 1997. ISBN 0-313-30099-2.
For comprehensive and definitive knowledge of the Stokowski - Philadelphia Orchestra Victor recordings, there cannot be a more authoritative, comprehensive, and reliable source than John R. Bolig in his The Victor Red Seal Discography Volume 1: Single-Sided Series (1903-1925) and The Victor Red Seal Discography Volume 2: Double-Sided Series to 1930
Both of these were published by the excellent discography source Mainspring Press of Denver. These two volumes are treasures of scholarship and of 'archeology' of the early years of recording, both of the acoustic era, and of the early years of electrical recording, pioneered by the Victor label. How grateful we must be to John Bolig and to Allan Sutton of the Mainspring Press for these discographies of great importance and scholarship.
Enno Riekena Discography of Commercial Stokowski Recordings Further information is available in what must be the best, most complete, and error-free discography of Stokowski's commercially released disks is available on the internet. This discography, also according to Mr. Riekena, makes use of John Hunt's previous work, described above. Mr. Enno Riekena is another leading Stokowski expert and scholar. This is a carefully prepared and researched work, including corrected names of the works recorded, which may often vary from the title selected by Stokowski or by Victor for the record label, particularly for 78 RPM recordings. Mr. Riekena's discography may be found at:
http://www.geocities.com/stokowskisite/disco/lsdiscs.htm
Enno Riekena also publishes CDs of Stokowski broadcasts from his private collection, which you can see at his The Leopold Stokowski Site http://www.geocities.com/stokowskisite/
