“It is quite intelligible that the young Russian violinist, Toscha Seidel, should have been rapturously applauded. Ysaye or Joachim (in his best days) could not have aroused more enthusiasm in Beethoven’s Concerto. Toscha Seidel’s tone is fascinating, his intonation perfect, and his technique fluent and easy. Moreover, he has musical feeling and intelligence. In brief, the young violinist is a very promising artist indeed. Great things may be expected of him. We shall hear much of Toscha Seidel in the future, because he is not a mere player.”—E. A. Baughan in the Saturday Review, December 10, 1921.
“There can be no question that this youthful Russian player is one of the most musical of violinists. His style is of that exquisite delicacy that never fails to appeal to British ears, and his equipment is that of an artist of the highest rank. He played the Beethoven Concerto with entrancing charm, treating the music with a tenderness it all too rarely receives.”—London Morning Post, December 5, 1921.
“In Toscha Seidel, in Beethoven’s Concerto, we heard a violinist of real distinction so far as regards pure beauty of tone, and outstanding technical efficiency.”—-London Daily Telegraph.
“Mr. Toscha Seidel gave a remarkably fine performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, remarkable, that is to say,, for purity of tone and cleanness of phrase.”— London Times.
“For the solo part in the Concerto, a brilliant exponent was forthcoming in Toscha Seidel, who also aroused much enthusiasm later.”—Westminster Gazette.
“Particularly sweet and appealing tone.”—London Weekly Dispatch.
“Toscha Seidel in his best form.”—London Daily Express.
