"I admire his work." - Lukas Foss "Obviously a man of huge talent." - Charles Mackerras "What impressed (and impresses) me most about Michael Rosenzweig’s work when I read it, is its technical competence and assurance in instrumental conception; when I first heard it, these considerations went out the window with an awareness of its
genuinely involving expressive qualities...something very rare in
music of such elegant complexity on the page. Most composers have to
wait many years before achieving the balance between form and content,
technique and expression which Rosenzweig seems to have commanded from
virtually the start of his career." - Oliver Knussen compositions, partial list
