“… Eduard Schmieder, the founder of the admirable iPalpiti, believes that music remains a functional universal language… Schmieder is an authoritative conductor. A tall and serious Russian of the old school, he goes in for intense expression and dug-in string sonorities…"Mark Swed, Chief Music Critic, Los Angeles Times (2010)"...a fitting name for the vibrant string orchestra...the ensemble was particularly noteworthy for its unity of purpose and blend. It was as if the musicians' hearts were beating to the same buoyant rhythm...lustrous, polished tone and graceful phrasing."New York Times (2007)“… Lead by conductor Eduard Schmieder with passion, intelligence, refinement and imagination, iPalpiti demonstrated an almost uncanny unanimity of sound and vibrato... It was especially remarkable to hear such a wide variety of individual tones emerge and then slip back into those fabulous unisons…”The Strad ( June 2009), review of the Carnegie Zankel Hall concert, New York“…a fitting name for the vibrant string orchestra from which the conductor Eduard Schmieder elicited a lively pulse…the ensemble was particularly noteworthy for its unity of purpose and blend.

It was the natural, “vocal” quality that stayed with me long after the final notes of the concert were sounded…"John Ardoin, Music Critic, Dallas Morning News"[the] performance can be called righteously overwhelming…"Noord Holland Dagblad\'Eduard Schmieder transforms young professional players of his iPalpiti orchestra into tomorrow\'s first-rank musicians.\'THE STRAD, London (December 04)Facebook
