"...outstanding playing. No one could accuse these players of lack of
involvement. The Serenade’s four movements were put through their
paces smartly, positively oozing vivacity and élan...the performance
maintained the extraordinary high level of the rest of the rest of the
programme."
The Strad
"If you haven’t heard Jupiter, your idea of what a classical concert
can communicate is rather limited."
The Village Voice
"The ensemble’s program on Monday afternoon was very much in Nygaard’s
signature style, and the size and enthusiasm of the audience suggested
that his vision still has a constituency...nicely turned melodies,
interesting modulations and spirited ensemble interplay kept things
lively...finely nuanced and thoroughly menacing."
The New York Times
"...it is one of the city’s cultural jewels."
The New York Sun
"...top notch." The London Times
"The program was put on with such taste, dignity, and affection that
this listener was completely charmed."
The New York Times
"The minuet had strong reminiscences of an Austrian town square full
of jolly peasant dancers. The ebullient finale proved that the Jupiter
instrumentalists were as cohesive a group as you could wish for...It
was one of those concerts where every minute passed swiftly. Special
mention must be made of the fine piano work of Morgulis, so correct in
both works with the different touch that was needed for the Hummel and
Beethoven. All seven of the other musicians matched her in what they
provided for the audience -- joy in music."
Danbury News-Times
"...all sat in rapt silence once the music began. I have never
witnessed such decorum even at the Metropolitan Opera, where tickets
cost up to 15 times as much. At first I thought people might have
fallen asleep, something I’ve seen plenty of times at the Met. (And at
the Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall.) But every eye was focused on the
musicians and every face was lost in thought." Ben Sisario, The New York Times 1/18/08
"A foursome led by former Jupiter principal
clarinet, Vadim Lando, traversed Kreutzer’s Quartet in E flat major.
This was a rollicking rendition, notable for crisp rhythm and good
humor. Especially intriguing was the middle Andante grazioso, with the
woodwind line punctuated by the strumming alla Italienne of the
viola." Fred Kirshnit, New York Sun 6/21/07

“…the performance was beautifully balanced and morphed naturally from
high-spirited playfulness to dark chromaticism and back."

finest young musicians in the United States. Their mixed ensemble programming
brings into focus a constellation of well-known masterpieces and sublime hidden
treasures from the chamber music repertoire.
