Editing Leopold Stokowski (section)

===Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra===
In 1945, he founded the [[Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra]]. The orchestra lasted for two years before it was disbanded for live concerts, but not for recordings, which continued well into the 1960s. Stokowski's own recordings (made in 1945–46) included [[Johannes Brahms|Brahms]]'s [[Symphony No. 1 (Brahms)|1st Symphony]], Tchaikovsky's [[Symphony No. 6 (Tchaikovsky)|''Pathetique'' Symphony]] and a number of short popular pieces. Some of Stokowski's open-air HBSO concerts were broadcast and recorded, and have been issued on CD, including a collaboration with [[Percy Grainger]] on [[Edvard Grieg]]'s [[Piano Concerto (Grieg)|Piano Concerto in A minor]] in the summer of 1945. He premiered "From A Moonlit Ceremony" (Moonlit Peace) by [[George Frederick McKay]] in 1946 with Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra.<ref>Hollywood Bowl Symphony Yearbook 1946.</ref> (It began giving live concerts again as the "[[Hollywood Bowl Orchestra]]" in 1991, under [[John Mauceri]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/music/hollywood_bowl_orch.cfm|title=Hollywood Bowl Orchestra|access-date=1 January 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213083321/http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/music/hollywood_bowl_orch.cfm|archive-date=13 December 2007}}</ref> There was a 1949 cartoon spoof of Stokowski at the Bowl with [[Bugs Bunny]] playing the conductor in "[[Long-Haired Hare]]" by [[Chuck Jones]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/about/history.cfm|title=History of the Hollywood Bowl|access-date=1 January 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100722114340/http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/about/history.cfm|archive-date=22 July 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>
