"(Foster) was everything the connoisseurs claim he is: an interesting, original pianist, a master of tonal shading, an artist." - Harold C. Schonberg

"Sidney Foster proved himself a richly gifted performer ... (his) approach to the keyboard was of the noble, heroic type; (he) gave the concerto a reading in the grand manner." - New York Times
