“Eduard Schmieder transforms young professional players of his iPalpiti orchestra into tomorrow’s first-rank musicians.”
The Strad, London
“iPalpiti’s strings were completely unified and opulent… absolutely bloomed… delivering a deep, rich bass in a movement from a C.P.E. Bach “Hamburg” Sinfonia in A, floating almost Stokowski-like in pater J.S. Bach’s “Air” with terrific control of dynamics. Schmieder then presided over a lovingly conducted and played rendition of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater in a period-performance clarity and luscious modern-instrument tone.”
Rick Ginell, Classical Voice North America, 7/24/2014
“This was an invigorating world-class performance by young players with technique to burn and a palpable desire to live every note.”
Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times
“A dazzling international chamber orchestra…
Eduard Schmieder’s art is all about communicating emotional energy through glorious sound.”
Rick Schultz, Los Angeles Times, 7/27/2014
