Press Reviews The Washington Post, October 22, 2012 I Musici di Roma exhibits lavish virtuosity in National Gallery concert With the same agility and fire they've so often lavished on the music of Vivaldi and his baroque contemporaries. Corriere della Sera, Rome April 1,.2012 Rigor and style, They are "I Musici"! New Plymouth, New Zealand, March 5, 2012 Standing Ovations for superb renditions. World famous I Musici di Roma have won standing ovations throughout their tour with Chamber Music New Zealand, and the audience that packed the theatre on Saturday night in New Plymouth bettered the record, six times rising and applauding joyously. Die Welt, Hamburg 07.04.2011 Magistrali e di buon gusto, con la loro sonorità barocca italiana. Der Tagesspiegel Berlin, April 8, .2011 From the first passionate entrance, pulses raced. The accents, the delicate changes of dynamic and the variations of mood are always organic and never casual, a scintillating fugue in Haendel's Concerto Grosso op.6 no.1. I Musici have made the 18th century repertoire shine for almost 60 years, much longer than any other chamber orchestra. It was a blessed evening. Der Tagesspiegel, 08.04.2011 AZ, München, 12.04.2011 Kölnische Rundschau Köln – April 16, .2011 I Musici continuously presented new colours and created labyrinths of impressive virtuosity.
