Glenn Dicterow
“Dicterow was a marvel, playing with a sweetness and ardor that would have melted the hardest heart. A beautifully gifted performer in all respects.”

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

“It is always a pleasure to hear someone play an instrument as well as Glenn Dicterow plays the violin. He keeps one absorbed by his sheer technical mastery and invariably creamy tone.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Karen Dreyfus
“Karen Dreyfus was the excellent soloist... She captured the viola’s expressive possibilities at both the top and bottom of its range.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“She played with the lyricism that makes the instrument irresistible, revealing boldness in her attack and widening both the dynamic range and expressiveness of her playing.”

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Frederick Zlotkin
“A master of his instrument.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“A cellist with passion that never became splurgy, a big, strong, gleaming tone that never became fat, and a personality that held one intent along every line as he unfolded it.”

THE NEW YORKER

“One of the outstanding artists of his generation.”

ST LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT

Gerald Robbins
“Robbins exhibits not only conspicuously abundant technical resources, but equal parts of reflective lyricism and fiery period pathos.”
