“The CD (noema) reaches far beyond the pith […] of the klezmersound”
“Most highly worth hearing!” (Hamburger Abendblatt)

„Orlowsky’s music radiates a palette of sheer astounding richness, never losing breath to melodrama.” (Galore/Public)

“The young man plays phenomenally, his clarinet laughs, cries, dances, and also has the rowdiness of Jazz.” (Wolfram Goertz, Rheinische Post)

“Orlowsky drew his audience under his spell right from the first hypnotic moment. His clarinet playing was as light as a feather and clear as glass - the instrument veritably traced the […] contours of the melodies […] into the atmosphere of the church.”
“Ovations and cries of bravo concluded the evening” (WAZ)

“Together with contrabassist and composer Florian Dohrmann and guitarist Jens-Uwe Popp, Orlowsky creates a fascinating blend of music, the traditional klezmer enriched with facets of classical chamber music and jazz” (Die Tageszeitung)

„The young clarinettist David Orlowsky, with his Trio Klezmorim, has created an utterly new and unique language. On his CD NOEMA the qualities of inexolerability and playfulness, form and freedom, are contrasted in utterly new pairings. Before all, he thoroughly re-shuffles the Cartesian plane of origin and destination of music. Nothing is any longer, the way it never was.”  (Wolf Kampmann, Jazzthetik)

“Masters of Klezmer”
“Orlowksy’s Klezmorim presents an unconstrained treatment of tradition with such musicality as nary another German ensemble can.”
(Süddeutsche Zeitung)

“He reigns over an extraordinary spectrum of sounds, and with Klemorim (…) as with the Organist Ralph Abelein, raises klezmer far out of the realm of popular music.” (Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung)

"Irresistible Melodies, tearing down all the boundaries of genre between traditional klezmer, jazz, and classical music." (Musikwoche)

„He lets his instrument narrate, speaks with it, lets it laugh, sob, and gently jibe. With the clarinet, he can impart meditative serenity, and without transition spring sparkling merriness into his audience.”
“Perhaps his greatest virtue is, that Orlowsky can play wonderfully quietly, so that the sounds float like wisps of cotton upon the air.”
(Dresdener Neueste Nachrichten)

“Orlowsky is the next Feidman.”
“Orlowsky verily does not play; rather, he speaks through his instrument.”
“The Klezmorim Trio is musical emotion in its purest form, declaimed and suffered by Orlowsky’s clarinet, supported by Dohrmans soft bass, and pulsated by the quick strums of the guitar.” (Ruhr Nachrichten)

“Orlowsky [...] possesses an extremely delicate, ephemeral tone colour, which emanates as though from pure nothingness, and which breathes a shimmer of gold equally over each complex cantilena, and each chromatic run.”
“[…] Original compositions […] which intelligently paraphrase the structures and sounds of klezmer, and lead them from the plane of Yiddish folk music into the level of post-modern timeless artwork.”
(Nürnberger Nachrichten)

“Klezmer-kings […] Uncannily poetic.” (Lift)

“The emotions send a chill up one’s spine. Orlowsky hates his instrument, no, he loves it…” (Stuttgarter Zeitung)

“The three are a savvy team. And a combination that simply fits.” (Südwestpresse)

“They strum, pluck, look at each other, laugh, and are an instrument with ten strings." (Südwestpresse)

“He creates magic with his clarinet - one could listen to him endlessly.” (Badische Zeitung)
