 "The energy of the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra is amazing! After attending their concerts, we feel energized ourselves. It's as though the music flows from the orchestra as a massive electric current through our entire beings. It's really impossible to describe in words; you have to experience it in person. There is no comparison to a 'live' performance. It's impossible for audio recordings to attain the ambience of live performances, including the visual aspects as well as the acoustics of the magnificent Naples Philharmonic Center."
