Besides being a prolific classical composer, Petroi is an active film composer. He has composed film scores for fifteen films from various French, Canadian, Switzerland and Belgian productions, some of which have been presented at festivals in Cannes, Venice, Chicago, London, Kiev, Toronto and Stuttgart.
REVIEWS:
…Ionel Petroi is a highly original composer.
(The Stone - New York).
…Plus, listen for the Bill Evans-meets-Messiaen stride Balkan stylings of Ionel Petroi. (WNYC - John Schaefer New York).
Ionel Petroi compose, sous l'appellation de "musique relative", des pièces à la carrure rythmique digne de Stravinsky. Mais un Stravinsky pris secrètement de vertiges, qui laisserait glisser sur la pente de dérives microtonales insidieuses, avant de se reprendre, pour, à nouveau, basculer dans son strabisme.
Anne Rey
Le Monde (France)
The most funniest piece was the world premiere "Les mélodies de Sancho Pança" by Ionel Petroï. This consisted of seven short songs, all but one set to nonsense syllables, with sardonically conventional tonal harmonies. The joke was that the accompaniments, expertly rendered by the Arlekin Quartet and bassist Jim Bergman, constantly warp the familiar chords by quarter-tone, yielding music whose out-of-tuneness undercuts its intentional banality. Baritone Roderick Gomez was the exquisitely suave soloist.
Joshua Kosman
Chronicle Music Critic
San Francisco Chronicle (USA)
After the suite no. 2 & no 4 of J.S.Bach,the decision of Michael Kevin Jones to introduce the audience to a composition by a contemporary musician Ionel Petroi was a good one. Solo cello compositions have a quality which make even the most eclectic composers more accessible and the brief Cantalena and Dance by the New York-based Yugoslavian born musician was no exception.
Gibraltar Chronicle
