Cincinnati Business Courier Writes:

"Reif’s collaboration was sensitive and well-balanced..."

"Reif’s momentum never flagged. It was a clear hit – listeners were instantly on their feet with ovations..."

"Reif caught the autumnal quality of the first movement, leading beautifully shaped themes in the strings and extraordinary atmospheres colored by piano and harp."

"The conductor swept up the orchestra to a dynamic finish, eliciting applause from the audience."

"Reif led its original ending, with the music dying away."

"The opening bars, a flourish of cascades for the cello, were energized."

"The concerto is a brilliant showpiece, with passagework demanding control and lightness, and he made it look easy."

"Reif is a charismatic leader, who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it."

"The orchestra performed superbly for him."
