"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
