“We had heard about this [orchestra] on numerous occasions, and we felt that we couldn’t miss it, and it’s lived up to our expectations. It’s absolutely—the sound that comes from ... from the orchestra is spectacular. I would say that this is probably the best orchestra that I have ever heard and I have heard quite a few” 
 

“We actually tried to move our fingers as fast as [the violinist] was. It was impossible. I’m saying ‘Oh—how can she be doing that?’”
 

“When [the conductor] brought the strings up to a crescendo, I felt it right in my chest. It was just wonderful. ... They all were terrific.”
 

“I would rate this right up there at number one with the best in the world—this is wonderful.”
