Harold C. Schonberg wrote in the New York Times upon his demise: "Musicians can and will argue about Stokowski's artistry, but no one will dispute the fact that he was one of the greatest conductors of all time. He got things from an orchestra that nobody else could equal, and when he got that amazing mixture of colours, that virtuoso projection, even those who objected to what he was doing were bowled over by how he did it."
