Reviews

“Radu exploited inner colors in the string orchestra...The orchestral colorsbehind the four soloists prompted solo work with strength and conviction.No mystique about that.” Daniel Webster, The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Radu obtains the best of two worlds, drawing remarkably full and richsounds from his forces and yet maintaining rhythmic litheness and

textural (and textual) transparency.” James Altena, Fanfare Magazine

“[Brahms Requiem] is a disc to have...a new experience—which is what a great performance should be. This disc and that

of Klemperer with the Philharmonia Orchestra...should be in everyone’s collection.” Burton Rothleder, Fanfare Magazine

“Radu’s intense, uninhibited involvement and high energy producedone of the liveliest performances of a Mozart piano concerto I’ve ever heard...” Tom Purdom, Broad Street Review

“...Donohoe is brilliant...his digital fluency seemed to run ahead of any human brain.” Adrian Jack, The Independent (London)

“First-rate vocalists...magical. The Vox concert was a jewel – a visit to acourt gala in Castle Somewhere.” Tom Purdom, Broad Street Review

“The singers of the Ama Deus Ensemble are a cut above the averageAmerican choir in terms of intonation and control. In short, theperformance is an exciting one.” James Manheim, All Music Guide

“...You can be certain you’ll get your money’s worth when Radu leads the Camerata through a Baroque

period instrument concert.” Tom Purdom, Broad Street Review
