GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICEDavid Aaron Carpenter (...) demonstrates a phenomenal technique - and more importantly, a rich and penetrating tone (...). Carpenter realises the concerto's bold personality with trenchant insight and self-belief.
The Scotsman, August 31, 2009
(...) brilliant recorded debut (...) a powerful, beautifully detailed, intimate account, intensifying the already notable vox humana quality of the (Elgar Concerto). (...) a searching, desolately heartfelt reading (of the Schnittke Concerto).
Paul Driver, The Times, August 30, 2009
If there's such a thing as an overnight-star violist, it's David Aaron Carpenter. (...) he makes an excellent case for the viola version of Elgar's concerto (...). Carpenter is in a league with the best (...). Much credit is no doubt to Christoph Eschenbach, who has recorded lots of Schnittke concertos with great conviction.
David Patrick Stearns, The Philadelphia Inquirer, August 23, 2009
(...) larger-than-life playing.
Andrew Clements, The Guardian, August 21, 2009
Viola players like to think that their instrument is a violin with a university education. But is has been much neglected for solo performances. Carpenter redresses the balance with a superb reading of Elgar's Cello Concerto. The deep warmth of his tone is exceptional, in the adagio especially. An added bonus is Schnittke's lively Viola Concerto.

23-year-old violist David Aaron Carpenter has recently emerged as one of the world's most promising young talents. This recording, his debut album, couples two concertos: a viola arrangement of Sir Edward Elgar's famous Cello Concerto and the Viola Concerto (1985) by Alfred Schnittke. Christoph Eschenbach leads the Philharmonia Orchestra. David Aaron Carpenter adapted much of the Elgar Concerto himself, using the well-known and Elgar-sanctioned arrangement completed by Lionel Tertis in 1930 as a basis.
Since making his orchestral debut in 2005 with The Philadelphia Orchestra under Christoph Eschenbach, David Aaron Carpenter has been performing with leading musicians and orchestras in the United States and Europe. In 2006, he won the the prestigious Walter E. Naumburg Viola Competition. In 2007, he became the first American and so far the youngest protégé for the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative and the protégé of world-renowned violinist and violist Pinchas Zukerman. He was chosen among an international selection that included every violinist and violist of his generation.
David Aaron Carpenter has been acclaimed as producing, "a seductively rich sound and demonstrating both a forceful interpretive personality and remarkable control of his instrument," (The New York Times) and, "whose beautiful modulated tone makes a striking impression." (The Strad)
