``Eccezionale bravura e intesa dei quattro solisti italiani, soprendenti per il senso del ritmo, il tempismo delle entrate e la capacità di ricreare le suggestioni del crescendo rossiniano…``Le Quotidien De Paris
“...le flutiste Andrea Griminelli joue,avec l’English Chamber Orchestra, des concertos de Vivaldi et Mercadante (Decca).Une magnifique personalité de soliste a découvrir. Beauté du son, précision du soffle et des doigts, poésie du phrasé et véritable rayonnement : c’est la flùte au top niveau”Gianni Villani
``...destreggiandosi con grande abilità e ricavando sempre sonorità limpide, controllate da una tecnica e da una intonazione immune da qualsiasi sbavatura``La Repubblica - Roberto Iovino
``...sorpresa piacevolissima ha costituito il flautista Andrea Griminelli che, con intonazione perfetta e fraseggio inappuntabile, ha regalato parentesi di efficace virtuosismo o di prezioso lirismo.``
