D'una banda el gust per l'experimentació, el risc i el joc a què ens té acostumats Llibert On the one hand the pleasure in experimentation, risk and play to which Llibert Fortuny has accustomed us... headed off in a new direction. His close meshing with a chamber orchestra such as the one led by the no less daring Gerard Claret created a rousing excitement... .

The first piece performed by the ONCA, the one by Shostakovich, was played very well, especially in the case of the two allegrettos, which were absolutely magnificent.

The little season which the National Classical Orchestra of Andorra (ONCA) offers at the Petit Palau, allows one to discover little treasures concealed from the eyes of the more important concerts.
Jaume Radigales, La Vanguardia, 29 March 2009

... the National Classical Orchestra of Andorra, with the acknowledged violinist Gerard Claret as its leader/director, interpreted Mozart’s Symphony no. 29 in A major in an optimistic free-and-easy way, attentive to the cohesion of the strings...
Mònica Pagès i Santacana, Revista Musical Catalana, March 2009

The ONCA fills unquestionably a gap in the public programming. (..) And what’s more, it fills this gap in a very worthy way, just as we could appreciate from the impeccable performance of the Mozart symphony (No. 29).
El Punt, Jordi Maluquer, 4 February 2009

The ensemble, conducted by Marzio Conti, played each of the pieces of the first movement with a notable prosody, producing a beautiful cohered musical discourse... With a firm bow the leader Gerard Claret, who is the soul of this ensemble, guided the strings and, by extension, the rest of the orchestra...
El Heraldo de Aragón, 26 July 2008

The rest of the concert proposed The Bullfighter’s Prayer, a magnificent work by Turina which Claret approached with transparency in the impressionist passages and with good expression and tension of phrasing... and lastly, Samuel Barber’s very famous Adagio op. 11 sounded with quality. It was a programme that was clearly to the audience’s liking...
La Vanguardia, Jorge de Persia, 22 December 2007

The National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra launched its fourth season at the Palau in a brilliant manner. It began the concert... with a splendid sound which could be appreciated very well thanks to the auditorium’s acoustics. The ONCA interpreted Joaquin Turina’s The Bullfighter’s Prayer with special grace... It excelled in Sibelius’s Romance in C major op. 42.
El Punt, Jordi Maluquer, 22 December 2007

In the sphere of contemporary music, the ONCA offered the recently premiered Symphony No. 2, “Andorrana” of the Italian composer Sergio Rendine. While not relinquishing expressive elements characteristic of the 20th century, this piece, with a language fully accessible to the general public, surprises one with its melodic freshness, drawing its inspiration to large extent from popular themes of the Principality.
El Periòdic d'Andorra, Jordi Salazar, 22 June 2007

An orchestral ensemble with a brilliant interpretation transformed the virtual confusion of styles and periods into a journey through the senses… The third piece of the programme, Divertimento in D major…, was interpreted with an elegance that extended into the closing theme, Xavier Monsatvatge’s evocative Three Tinted Postcards.
Diari d'Andorra, E.A., 22 January 2007

The first part was by the National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra, a very good, professional and multifaceted ensemble... Indeed, excellent support was provided by the orchestra, always dedicated and professional, with good soloists, such as the French cellist and the leader and first violin, Gerard Claret.  
Culture article, Rafael Aznar, 1st August 2005

A chamber orchestra... which plays wonderfully under Claret’s direction, recreating with great professionalism the various stylistic genres which it performs. The ONCA displayed an unquestionable musical talent... It was an intense interpretation with delicate sonorities and magnificent colour, featuring an exceptional job by the strings...  
Panorama Crítica, LL.T. February 2005

The concert began with one of the three most often performed pieces,... Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony op.4, followed by Grieg’s Holberg Suite and Mozart’s A Little Night Music (Eine kleine Nachtmusik). The ONCA gave a model reading. It was, in short, an orchestra in truly excellent shape...
El Punt, Jordi Maluquer, 21 February 2005

The orchestra showed itself awake, attentive and capable at all times, and its interpretations reached a thoroughly gratifying level in every instance.
