...bursting with repeated-note, marim-balike rhythms, themes sometimes curiously plaintive, sometimes broad with the flavor of mesquite and wide-open spaces, and orchestrated throughout with all the colors of a Mexican scrape. Some listeners found it too long (45 minutes); there were eight movements, plus a long cadenza which demanded, and received, much from its performer, but added little to the concerto. Once Viviane halted calmly to tune her violin, while the orchestra played on, and drew a preoccupied look from Chávez . But even so, the concerto was a three-curtain-call success...
...perfect fusion of the Classical and the Romantic in music. The collaboration of Heifetz and Munch resulted in a skillful blending of Classic clarity and Romantic richness. Heifetz performed with even greater fluency than in his definitive recording with Toscanini. He played with great insight, and tossed the many cadenza-like passages with uncanny ease...

Particularly enjoyable was the sparkling rondo section the cadenza of which was written for the occasion by Mr. Perry. Both here and elsewhere Perry's cadenzas fit the spirit of the movement so that it was difficult to tell where Mozart ended and Perry began. To low point of the evening was the downright sloppy performance of the Divertimento in C Major for the fantastic combination of flutes, trumpets, and drums. Only the poker-faced comedy...

Only in "Au Clair De Lune," the fourth of his five included poems, does Lane run into trouble with a high-flown cadenza (". . . the moon hangs pendulous/Upon the watch-chain of some night-vested god . . .") that weakens the impression of sincerity his first three works convey...
...slight task in choosing the concerto, which requires not only technical accomplishment but a sensitivity of interpretation to make it worth hearing. That the sensitivity was there was never in doubt, and Lee's technical standard was also high. The first movement in particular was impressive, with the cadenza--arranged by the performer himself--especially broad in emotional conception...
