"Dell’Arte’s music director, Chris Fecteau, drew a similarly flexible performance from the Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra that included some fine — and idiomatically Mozartean — wind solos." The New York Times "We always want to be in the audience when the versatile Argentinian conductor Jorge Parodi wields his magic. Friday night at Weill Recital Hall he showed a special affinity for Mozart. The froth of the melodies was all there but full attention was paid to the depths of characterization in Nozze di Figaro. The Metamorphsis Chamber Orchestra gleamed under his guidance. The Artistic Director of the Orchestra is bassoonist Pierre Lidar." Voce Di Meche, Meche Kroop "As a matter of fact, everything the Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra played was perfect with Maestra Daniela Candillari conducting with classical precision, just right for the period. Her harpsichord introduction to Act II was particularly lovely. Special props for Matheus Souza's lute!" Voce Di Meche, Meche Kroop "The captivating music was played by the Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra, conducted by John Spencer, IV. Right from the overture we knew they and we were in good hands. The performance moved right along without a single longueur. In terms of musical values, nothing more could be wanted." Voce Di Meche, Meche Kroop "Hiram Titus' music is new to us, and we will begin by saying that we yearn to hear more of his instrumental music. As performed by the excellent Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Christopher Fecteau, Artistic Director and Founder of Dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, it made quite an impression. Voce Di meche, Meche Kroop "..GPR Records has offered one the earliest treats for children for the Christmas season - composer Rob Kapilow's extraordinarily find musical setting of tow classic children's stories. THE POLAR EXPRESS is enacted and sung brilliantly by one of the finest baritones before us today - Nathan Gunn - whose mastery of the musical dialogue and messages is as fine as they come. A children's chorus of course is part of the sound and the very fine orchestral support comes from The Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra with the composer conducting." Amazon US "Quite simply, The Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra is one of the finest chamber orchestras I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only are they brilliant musicians, but their collective spirit and professionalism are unmatched. I loved producing the Rob Kapilow recordings for them and look forward to many more projects in the future. I'm thrilled that Metamorphosis has chosen GRPrecords as their label." Glen Roven 4 Time Emmy Winner, Artistic Director, GPRrecords "..Eighteen members of the flexible Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra provided the music and they were in the good hands (no, the great hands) of star conductor Jorge Parodi who needs no baton. He conducts with his dancing hands and his entire body. He kept the orchestra perfectly balanced with well-articulated winds emerging over a lovely carpet of strings." Voce Di Meche. Meche Kroop "... Maestro Jorge Parodi, who expertly lead the Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra. Although the famous orchestral prelude to La revoltosa got off to somewhat soft start from the brass section, the orchestra found its sea legs by the time it arrived at the difficult scenes from Sorozábal’s La tabernera del puerto; and they played the vivacious and crisp rhythms of the ensemble numbers from Barbiere’s El barberillo de Lavapiés as if they had been doing so all their lives."
