“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

“A dazzling international chamber orchestra…

“…rich sonorities audibly took the audience’s breath away…”STRINGS Magazine
