Critic Reviews
-
Nancy DeWolf Smith, Wall Street Journal
It is a moving tale -- especially because so many of the people interviewed are descendants of the violinists, French horn players, pianists and others who escaped Nazi Germany and other countries of prewar Europe.
-
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Writer-director Josh Aronson's flaccid "Orchestra of Exiles" squanders the material's promise.
-
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
It's a great, too-little-known piece of history.
-
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
"Orchestra of Exiles" aspires to a level of primary research that other historical documentaries could take a page from.
-
Mark Jenkins, NPR
Orchestra of Exiles will interest anyone who's concerned with European Jewry or classical music in the first half of the 20th century. But it provides mostly the facts of Huberman's legacy and little of the flavor.
