I worry that people have forgotten about Stokowski, 45 years after his death. I don't know if he was a great conductor or interpreter, but he was a true visionary in terms of orchestra sound, media, etc.. Something Karajan then honed to a sharp edge. I love these Bach transcriptions, whether actually done by Stokowski or, so I have heard, by Lucien Caillet.
There are many Bach arrangements by all sorts of musicians but here is one by Lucien Cailliet. It's an old recording but comes from a CD devoted to his various transcriptions ... th-cam.com/video/_9rm-S3XAgI/w-d-xo.html
Here is one Bach transcription that you might like to hear - Elgar's orchestration of the Fantasia and Fugue in C minor ... th-cam.com/video/CsYKl-19K9g/w-d-xo.html
Just to listen at already elevates the spirit... the transcription to Orchestra is superb... That also shows one the real power of an organist. The number of voices he controls alone and the dynamic at his hands
If this universe were completely empty, we all will be eternally nothing, that will be better than any life, that is the most perfect situation, ever. ✌😎 💔

I will never forget. I was exposed to Stokowski when I was a baby and that has stuck with me forever.
Thank you Lord for the gift of Bach and Stokowski. 🙏

Una grandissima strumentazione per orchestra ed esecuzione magistrale.J S Bach.ed il direttore connubio grandioso.🤗🤗
I wonder if Stokowski was pleased with this performance. I loved it but I just can’t help but wonder.
I think at 8:12 you can hear the piccolo come in early lol. It's funny to know that these high level musicians make the same mistakes we do sometimes.
Just a wee peep!
Esse maestro é eterno imortal
БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО !!!! Оркестр под управлением Леопольда Стоковского прекрасно играет Токкату и фугу БАХА !!!
Su musica es magnifica.
Excelente Director
Se. Leopoldo
Y Herbert Von Karajan

And we like you Sr... 👏👏👏
I first heard this on Phillips with seiji ozawa and the Boston symphony..it's mesmerizing!
Estar en el Paraíso.
well done !
BRAVO
This version hundred percent better than recent ones
This is why i wanted a Season 9 of GOT so Brandon could've gone back in time to get Bach's reaction to the Stokowski transcription.

Woooooow
LEOPOLD I AM LOVE YOU
Excelencia en la musica Tocata y fuga de bach
wish we could see the orchestra in this clip.
♥️🌹
surely this was played in the film" Fantasia?".
Yes, it was the opening item in the movie. Stokowski was the conductor then, as he is in this video from some years later.
