Coro Lirico, "Verdi's Requiem," April 4, 2007 Classical New Jersey Society Website, Reviewed by John Hammel "Jason Tramm and Coro Lirico in Top Form" "Jason Tramm's leadership and conducting of the Verdi Requiem shared many of the same qualities that made Alfredo Silipigni such an admired rarity. Mr. Tramm's overall handling of the chorus and orchestra's line and phrasing was exemplary... He projected a firmly committed and fully evolved persona, sculpting beautiful architectural lines that crested and swelled within a dramatic framework of suppleness and driven energy... Mr. Tramm also drew every emotional facet out of this complex score, and one was duly impressed not only by his chorus but also by the balance and shapeliness he extracted from the orchestra- superb music making that was totally gratifying to the heart and ear."

It’s something majestic and bold, beyond words, as all music should be." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coro Lirico, "The Grandeur of Opera," November 11, 2006 The Classical New Jersey Society, Reviewed by Paul Somers "When Coro Lirico sang the audience was fully captured by the fullnes of sound, by the expanse of expressivity, and the emotional lift a great chorus lends to an operatic scene... Tramm supplied many moments of subdued power in the performance. The "Voyagers' Chorus" from Idomeneo simply floated along the air. The "Chorus of the Scottish Refugees" from MacBeth was deeply emotional, and the final "Easter Hymn" from Cavalleria Rusticana built to its climax from the softest beginnings. All three were powerful evocations of grandeur. I n short, Mr. Tramm and Coro Lirico gave a first-rate performance." __________________________________________________________________________________ Summit Music Festival, Carmina Burana, July 28, 2006 at the Central Presbyterian Church of Summit The Star Ledger, Reviewed by Bradley Bamberger- July 31, 2006 "All High Notes in Summit" (title) "The most striking thing about Friday's performance was the quality of the musicianship... Tramm's vigorous tempos propelled the score along... and elicited much rhythmic snap from all of the musicians." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Jersey State Opera, Alfredo Silipigni Memorial Concert, June 12 2006 at NJPAC The Star Ledger, Reviewed by Willa Conrad, Classical Music Editor- June 14, 2006 Joseph Colaneri led the company's orchestra and chorus, prepared by Jason Tramm, in a vital and energetic tribute. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coro Lirico, Idomeneo, April 7, 2006, performed at the Concert Hall at Drew University The Classical New Jersey Society, Reviewed by Paul Somers, Editor "In the past we have seen Jason Tramm produce well-rehearsed and quite glorious choral sound with several choruses. But with Coro Lirico's performance of Mozart's Idomeneo, he has added a fine level of orchestral control to his palette. This is no mere choral conductor cluelessly leading instrumentalists who knew better than to look at the podium for any help. Mr. Tramm clearly knew his way around an orchestra and eschewed the often mushy hand movements of the choral director in favor of crisp, clear beats and definitive cues." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
