Laila Storch (member of the Houton orchestra) remembers ....
"Even though it is so long ago (about 60 years!!) since I had that good fortune to play in an orchestra with FF as conductor, the memories remain very fresh...Did I ever send you copies of the letters I wrote to my mother during that half season?? You would not have time to read them now, but I believe they give quite a good "picture" of what it meant to our group of well-trained and enthusiastic young musicians to work with this great artist and human being. At that time, almost all the conductors in the U.S ( and that includes a number of well known names!) were "tyrants" and treated the musicians very badly, but then came Fricsay like a breath of fresh air, or even a comet!!- to make us love music again... .... it was, stays unforgettable....!!"
