FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG 09/09/2005 --- An „offstage banda" emerges alongside the musicians of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. This is the fabulous ‘ensemble recherche' with several brilliantly acting soloists from the choir. The conductor, Peter Rundel, does not merely hold these five displaceable layers of sound supremely in check, with their diverging chordal surfaces, melodic catch-phrases, snatches of speech and noise. He forms a fascinating continuum, creating a time travel out of the spatial experience.
SÜDKURIER 23/11/2004 --- Defining factor for the intensely colourful sound was the enthusiastic conducting of Peter Rundel who throws himself into the waves of tones with great passion and energy, showing the musicians every musical element and infecting them with the same desire.
SCHWÄBISCHE ZEITUNG 09/03/2004 - of Odyssee-Oper by Isabel Mundry --- The whole thing was brilliantly led by the conductor, Peter Rundel, who demonstrated once again his world class qualities as a conductor of contemporary music.
WIENER ZEITUNG 09/11/2004 - of König Kandaules by Zemlinsky, directed by Hans Neuenfels --- This is well worth hearing for its flamboyant orchestra. Under Peter Rundel, the house ensemble plays again and again in a Dionysic state of intoxication, but with ample sophistication prevailing to meticulously add gossamer coatings of colour.
STUTTGARTER NACHRICHTEN 18/11/2003 - Attacca concert series --- Guarantor for this exhilarating concert evening at the Theaterhaus was the Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart, which supremely conquered the more challenging sections under the precise and committed direction of Peter Rundel.
SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG 03/11/2003 --- His movements are wide-reaching and, when it becomes dramatic, his body tenses as a panther ready to attack. It is as though Peter Rundel were to express the total energy of a composition in his posture and gestures.
WIENER ZEITUNG 20/05/2003 - world premiere Massacre by Wolfgang Mitterer --- The musical direction lies in the hands of Peter Rundel, who dedicates himself to the score with absolute devotion and competence [...], his sovereign comrades-in-arms firmly in his grasp.
