...engagement is blessed, however, with the crisp, lush American Symphony Orchestra, founded by Leopold Stokowski, who conducted 1940's Fantasia. A different local symphony will play at each stop, one of the nicer goals of the enterprise being to increase appreciation for the nation's orchestras. Stoky would have liked that...
...HOME JOEL RIFKIN SHARED WITH his sister and widowed mother on Long Island is a horticulturist's delight. Lush beds of lavender, lamb's ears, lilies, begonias, irises and poppies surround the house. The box hedges are perfectly manicured. A magnolia tree thrives. The plants are a living testament to Joel Rifkin's gifts as a gardener. "Joel could tell you exactly what's growing," says Frank Barton, who lives across the street from the landscaper. "He knew how long it'll grow and when it'll die." But Joel Rifkin cultivated life and death in other, more odious ways...

Discouraged, the composer turned to smaller pieces and adaptations of famous operettas for German director Max Reinhardt. Then, after 1933, the Jewish Korngold saw his works put on the list of entartete Musik (decadent music) and banned by the Nazis. In 1934 he followed Reinhardt to Hollywood and remained there until his death...
