“Of the solo and sectional bows Kulenovic signaled at the end, the first and most deserved one was for clarinetist Samuel Rothstein, whose limpid playing as acting principal made the second movement (of Brahms Symphony No. 3) extra special.”
-Jay Harvey Upstage
“With Lewis having the good fortune to conduct a much more advanced ISO, that first movement had all the mixed emotions of world-weariness and surging anger that the composer poured into his conception of the Byronic hero. Much of the portraiture is assigned to the bass clarinet; it's no wonder that the first individual invited to stand as Lewis made his first curtain call was Samuel Rothstein. ”
-Jay Harvey Upstage
“Kodaly's "Dances of Galanta" is an original suite of music influenced by gypsy music the composer heard as a boy in the small Hungarian town where he lived for seven years…it hooks audiences in, as it did Friday, from the first dance on, with its seductive clarinet solo. Assistant principal Samuel Rothstein played it with conspicuous flair.”
-Jay Harvey Upstage
