The Pan-European sounds
...EMO, a pan-European ensemble representing many nations, launched the evening with an effervescent account of Bernstein's Candide Overture, followed by the works of Berg and Tchaikovsky. American soloist Alyssa Park played expressively Berg's haunting violin concerto ... The orchestra was led by Croatian/American maestro, Zvonimir Hacko who presented a charged reading of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, building the climaxes and subduing the orchestra in soft section to a whisper....

Nomen est omen (The omen is in the name..)
From the very first bars of the Introduction and Allegro for String Quartet and Orchestra by Edward Elgar, it was obvious that what we have in front of us is a highly developed and finely tuned ensemble which by all judgment meets the highest of European performing standards.

The Masters ...
...This international orchestra, composed of the members of world's greatest symphonic and opera ensembles ... performed a comprehensive and demanding program ... which was heard in a first-rate interpretation, performed by music masters ... The unity of the proportioned sound, the subordination to the common idea, practiced to perfection -- are undoubtedly a credit to the exceptional ability of EMO's musicians. The program was a testament to music as a universal language, unlimited in scope, binding in purpose, welling as a powerful source of joy ....

European Masters ... .
During the concert it became obvious that we had in front of us masters of orchestral playing confirming the written report found in the evening's concert program. This ensemble consists of musicians-friends who have gathered together from Europe's leading orchestras to create a type of musical cooperative, What we witnessed is a chamber orchestra of the highest rung whose first appearance on the concert stage in London caused a real sensation and led to immediate engagement by a record company .... Tonight on the program were works by Shostakovic, Vivaldi, Respighi.and Elgar – we can say, a very diverse program in terms of style and historical period and the one which was performed in most appropriate and masterful manner.
