INTERVIEW with Robert Schulslaper
VOLUME 6 - Fanfare Magazine - Colin Clarke
“Palisades Virtuosi…perform with such high levels of exactitude.”
“The real heroes here are the members of Palisades Virtuosi, who deliver faultless renditions throughout of this varied selection of pieces with unflagging enthusiasm and freshness.”
VOLUME 7 - Fanfare Magazine - Colin Clarke
“The recording is well done, as are all production values. This is a highly imaginative release, nigh on two and a half hours of fine music, superbly performed.”
VOLUME 7 - Fanfare Magazine - Meltzer
“[Palisades Virtuosi’s] playing is unfailingly spirited, colorful, and sculpted with the greatest care. The contributions of the various “guest artists” are also quite admirable. The sound quality is excellent, offering a natural, rich, and well-balanced acoustic.”

PV's Latest interview in Fanfare Magazine
Here is a mention at "New Music Box"
This 2008 release includes works by Gary Eskow, Carlos Franzetti, Frank Ezra Levy, Caroline Newman and Allen Shawn.
"The NJ based PV are truly definitive. That is to say that their standard of playing is both masterful and in full support of the contemporary composers who have contributed and will continue to contribute to their growing repertoire. They and their composers are exploring, and revealing, the possibilities of their unique ensemble..." -- FANFARE MAGAZINE
2010 saw the release of New American Masters, Vol. 3 which included works by Eric Ewazen, Randall E. Faust, jazz legend Dick Hyman, Fred Messner, Ben Model and Brian Schober
"There is not a single detail of execution or recorded sound to quibble with here, and fans of all three instruments will find much to admire and emulate. Sustaining a repertoire is a noble cause, but creating one is a feat few dare to attempt with such sustained effort. Kudos to Palisades Virtuosi for their noble mission." --FANFARE MAGAZINE
In 2012 Volume 4 of the New American Masters series was released including works by Ryan Francis, Matthew Halper, Amanda Harberg, Sunbin Kim, Joseph Turrin, Melinda Wagner and Gwyneth Walker.
"This is an enjoyable recital, both in the music and performances. ...Recommended to those who enjoy well-written woodwind music, and to others interested in exploring worthwhile music by American composers who are not yet household names." --FANFARE MAGAZINE
PV's 2014 release - Works by James Chwalyk, Jr, Sergio Garcia-Marruz, Pulitzer Prize winner, Paul Moravec, Steve Perillo, David Sampson, Raymond Wojcik and Donald Reid Womack.
"True “virtuosi,” the performers aren’t daunted by the occasionally demanding scores, but penetrate easily to the heart of each singularly different offering."
"As everywhere on this disc, the players respond with both virtuosity and style; the actual standard of recording is of the very highest throughout."
"A stimulating collection of world premiere recordings."
VOLUME 6
PV's 2017 release with works by Adrienne Albert, Matthew Baier, Gary William Friedman, Linda Marcel, Ting Ho, Jeff Scott and Gary Schocker!
