"When Joel Lazar began this great work, with its long introduction I couldn't believe my ears. Mr. Lazar had transformed this group into a superb orchestra. As the rehearsal continued, it became more and more obvious that here was a real conductor. I recall the performance with very great pleasure ... First-rate conductors are hard to find. Joel Lazar is first-rate." Leonard Rose, following a performance of the Dvorák Cello Concerto
