WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT 

Antonia Brico

NEW YORK TIMES-Jan. 11, 1933 (Metropolitan Opera House).
Miss Brico showed at once that she knew her scores and knew the orchestra....Her conceptions were always distinguished by musical impulse and knowledge....The phrasings...the feeling for contrast and control in preparing the climaxes, showed that Miss Brico knew what she was doing a great deal better than many a young man who has been tooted and feted and given golden opportunities in this city.

NEW YORK AMERICAN-Jan. 15, 1933.
Antonia Brico...who achieved the unusual feat...of winning praise from all the New York Critics, with not one dissenting voice...One of the listeners...Ossip Gabrilowitsch told a group of us that he was truly astonished at the young woman's talent and felt it his duty to go back stage and congratulate her.  He did so as soon as she had finished a long row of recalls in answer to as enthusiastic a degree of plaudits as we have heard hereabouts this season.

LOS ANGELES RECORD-Aug. 2, 1930 (Hollywood Bowl).
Miss Brico triumphed...feeling for the composition and for musical fundamentals were striking.

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER-Sept. 7, 1930.
She was a phenomenon and a symbol, a phenomenon in her mastery of the orchestra, a symbol because she illustrated the emancipation of women from the...fetters of the ages. Brico grips the orchestra firmly.  She has the lyric elation of youth.

HAMBURG, GERMANY-Feb. 25, 1931, by Dr. Karl Muck.
Miss Antonia Brico gave a concert with the Hamburg Orchestra...and proved anew that she has all the qualifications required for an orchestral conductor....Miss Brico's success was extraordinary.
