  • “The concert turned out to be a tour de force of jazz melded with classical, with a call-and-response component through Noam Faingold’s unorthodox-but-respectful arrangements. Staying true to Beethoven’s melodies, countermelodies and compositional intent, Faingold allowed space for pockets of improvisation and chose different instruments to cover solo parts.”
    • – Dan Ouelette, Downbeat Magazine, September 2010
  • “Noam Faingold’s “Kinfe in the Water” for violin and cello showed that even pieces in a modern style are capable of being cheerful and being filled with musical expression.”
    • – Harri Hautala, Aamulehti (Tampere, Finland; translated from the Finnish),

  • “Noam Faingold …fuses rock, symphony and jazz for a harmonious new sound”
