La Fenice: Press
FINE FIRST SHOW FOR LA FENICE
"...Strikingly beautiful sonority, tremendous technique, great rhythmic verve....This is a collection of players with virtuosity, depth and energy to spare."
Post-Standard, Syracuse, NY
DEBUT BY LA FENICE AT UNION IMPRESSIVE
"The sound was robust, the ensemble was tight and technical matters well attended to....This ensemble knows how to kick a movement off sharply, keep it flowing beautifully and make doing it seem like a whole lot of fun."
Daily Gazette, Schenectady, NY
QUARTET PLAYING IS SUPERLATIVE
"The Schumann String Quartet in A (with members of La Fenice with guest violinist Todd Phillips) was given a performance that ranks with the best quartet playing I have ever heard. This was a truly balanced quartet, with all players operating at the highest level of technical achievement and interpretive involvement."
Post-Standard, Syracuse, NY
