Il modo in cui otteneva quel \u003cem\u003e«suono Stokowski»\u003c\/em\u003e era però quantificabile solo in parte: vi contribuivano la sua straordinaria abilità di orchestratore; il vibrato ampio e intenso e l’arco libero degli archi; il respiro libero di ottoni e legni; l’attacco di precisione tagliente; e la perfezione assoluta dell’insieme. Il resto dipendeva da una comunicazione telepatica, qualcosa di meno tangibile, dovuto senz’altro al potere del mesmerismo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovatore instancabile\u003c\/strong\u003e e tra i primi direttori moderni ad abbandonare la bacchetta, Stokowski usava gesti eleganti, quasi ipnotici, per compiere la sua magia.
