“Roustom’s Violin Concerto No. 1, a homage to Mozart’s fascination with Arabic & Turkish music, is not Mozart “alla turca”, but conversely Turkish and North African “alla Vienna”: As far as the vitality, the profound cheerfulness, the dancelike dialogue between instruments are concerned, Roustom’s work is infected by Mozart’s élan.” Der Tagesspiegel
