LACO is the critics’ choice

“It was a bold, spotless, enthusiastic performance. Kahane has lifted the spirits of the orchestra and it has become a delight to hear. The last movement was a gripping race, full of imagination, humor and taken-for-granted virtuosity.”
Los Angeles Times

“Our Chamber Orchestra is now, more than ever, a precious part of the musical life of this entire region.”
L.A. Weekly

“It can always be relied upon for precise, technically impeccable, artistically sensitive playing, and for lucid, transparent sound.”
San Diego Reader

The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra is “…America’s finest chamber orchestra.”
The Record Shelf
