„The band Hotel Palindrone proved a highlight indeed. The variety of their
programme was hard to top: It includes Galician reels, “Schleunige” from the
Salzkammergut, yodelling, Jew’s harp solos with spherical overtones, Croatian children songs, and Breton dances.“
(Michael Stadler - Salzburger Nachrichten/ A, 2005, Folkfestival Hallein)
“The winners: The marvellous Hotel Palindrone. … A group that developed its unique style in the last ten years. A mixture of folk, dance music and improvisation. What a groovy band!”
(Manfred Horak - Kulturwoche/ A, 2005 - Final of the Austrian- World-Music-Award2005)
“Hotel Palindrone put life into the contest by presenting their European folk crossover. Original instruments from all over the continent were played with joy and wit: A completely new sound blowing away all the dust which has covered traditional music for years. … It’s just a matter of time that the band will make their great breakthrough. The audience was on their side. And if I had enough influence I would give them a prize
for innovating world music.”
(Christine Reiterer - der wiener salon/ A, 2005 - Final of the Austrian World Music Award 2005)
“After three hours the audience still demanded encores: An evidence of sparkling vibrations among the listeners. ... Four multitalents presented vivacious traditional European music, taken from a wide spectrum – geographically and chronically. Though rooted in folk, this music is characterized by a smooth transition to jazz and avant-garde reminiscences. ... At the beginning this combination of modern and old sounds seemed unusual, but soon the audience was absorbed in this lively music by the intensive playing of all four musicians. An important aspect was their enormous variety of instruments.”
