Nadia Reisenberg
Heartiest thanks for a beautiful performance of my Polish Fantasy.
– I.J. Paderewski, 1922
I’ll never forget the cycle of concertos which revealed for me lots of Mozart beauty that I keep in my heart with much gratefulness…
– Arthur Rubinstein, 1979
Clara Rockmore

– Alexander Schneider, 1989
