Gramophone magazine credits Aaron Rosand with making "Some of the greatest recordings of this century". He is repeatedly compared to such legends as Heifetz, Milstein, Francescatti, Elman, Kriesler and Ysaye. CD Magazine wrote recently "In terms of aristocratic purity, there are times when Heifetz is brought to mine, yet there is an inner intensity, noblesse and intuitiveness which are unique".
