David Leo Diamond

Composers, like pearls, are of three chief sorts, real, artificial, and cultured.  David Diamond is unquestionably of the first sort; his talent and his sincerity have never been doubted by his hearers, his critics, or by his composer colleagues.

- Virgil Thomson, The New York Herald Tribune
