“The highlight, and possibly the only one in the history of the ROSS, was the brilliant interpretation of the Seventh Symphony in C Major, Op. 60 of Dmitri Shostakovich. To go into detail in this immense cascade of musical information transmitted by Maestro Axelrod to his orchestra, as well as its extraordinary correspondence to his indications, would lead to an extensive and detailed article, inappropriate for the mere orientation of this comment. However, it is worth mentioning the mastery of global concept that the Maestro has of this great work, how he has managed to attend in detail to each instrumental section, and how he has joined the orchestra predisposing the musicians to listen to each other assuming own and other's expressive responsibilities, one of the substantial secrets of the great orchestral formations. Axelrod and the ROSS transcended the speech of the “Leningrad" Symphony from a wisdom that turned their music into pure ontology of sounds.” Jose Antonio Canton, El Mundo
