In fact, he gave a surprisingly free reign to his singers in some of their arias…[The performance] had a kind of amiability and human warmth, with most pleasant results.”—New York Times “Among the other firsts was Joseph Rosenstock as conductor. Mozart comes naturally to him so that the opera fared well under this musicianly director.”—New York Journal-American |
