"Time seems to have stood still while the Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra performs the music perfectly."
Neue Westfalische Zeitung
"If we judge by sound's quality, it seems that Riga is placed somewhere between Wien and Italy."
Suddeutsche Zeitung
"The Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra must be known for their rich string sound: their accurate and stirring playing at fast tempos, and for their lyrical approach in slow movements."
Dallas Times Herald
"The Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra plays with a particular sophistication. Its appeal can be found in the sound, which seemed to be composed by pure light and deep feelings."
Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace
"The perfomance reveals one of the best and finest chamber orchestras that has ever come to Delhi. Rarely it could be listened such a warm and bright string sound."
Times of India
"Valuable concert in Rovereto, some days ago, with the Latvian Orchestra and a program devoted to slavic and scandinavian composers. The ensemble, led with skilled gesture by Massimo Lambertini, has deserved to present pages of unusual listening...nice performance of the orchestra, in the creamy sound and in the relaxed lines of cantabili...in the Holberg Suite of Edvard Grieg, the orchestra showed full adherence to the spirit of the piece..."
L'Adige
(April 2, 2007)
"And Latvians endeared Sondrio" - "A confindent round of applause for a choral performance that really made a mark" - "...First of all, we have to point out the real harmoniousness which is present between orchestra and conductor. Harmoniousness doesn't mean routine: between Massimo Lambertini, named artistic and musical director by great acclamation, and this Orchestra exists that kind of "alliance of intents" which brings, in a group, the actual eurhythmy and euphony...Valtellina knows and appreciates a lot the conductor Massimo Lambertini..."
  Carlo Mola, La Provincia di Sondrio
(March 5, 2005)
"...the orchestra, conducted by the young enthusiast bolognese Massimo Lambertini has offered the best of it's peculiarity. Harmonic and clear sound, well-distributed, very expressive... the Concerto in Re by Stravinsky...has also shown its advanced technical-expressive level, displaying ductile in the armonic temporal jump from the historical 20th Century of the russian composer to the viennese classicism of Mozart. Lambertini has moved peremptorily and with confidence on the keyboard, conducting the orchestra as well. His easy and accurate "pianismo" has found a carefull partner in the orchestra and the balance between solos and the team well proves the link that join this talented bolognese musician, full of likability, to the Latvian orchestra, with whom he collaborates approximately from an half-decade.....many curtain calls, true ovations and Ciaikovsky's encore..."

Il Corriere delle Alpi
(Novembre 2002)
"...extraordinary success was obtained by the first of the four concerts of the Festival. Lambertini, as soloist and conductor has been the protagonist of a vibrant and very emotional concert, performing beside the Rondò K382 and the Concerto K449 two delicious transcriptions, by the same Lambertini, of Rossini's Petite Caprice and Tarantelle Pur-Sang...closing the concert, a welcomed version for piano and strings only of the Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, very appreciated by the audience that asked it again as encore..."
La Gazzetta del Sud
(June 8, 2001)
"The performance of the Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra was absolutely top-class. Conducted by Massimo Lambertini, the ensemble offered interpretations of outstanding precision and quality. Well conducted by Lambertini, the Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra managed to obtain - not only in the rendering of the Ciaikovsky Serenade - tasteful and greatly suggestive ‘colours’, by sheer force of their preparation and enviable harmony ...”
