Leopold Stokowski was one of the first conductors who became famous outside the orchestra world. Most famously, he appeared in Disney's 1940 Fantasia alongside The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Click here to learn more about Leopold Stokowski, and enjoy this clip of Stokowski conducting Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
