MOZART & SALIERI AT THE TEATRO MASSIMO DI PALERMO

«Conductor Dmitri Jurowski is the accomplice who passes the vial filled with poison to Salieri, thus aiding Mozart's elimination. The musical performance of this young Russian maestro reflects his precise research of the historical facts surrounding the theme, as well as great attention to the philological details and expressive precision.»
Gli Amici della Musica (Maria Dell) - December 2006

«The interaction between the orchestra's conductor and the skill of the two singers continuously maintained a powerful tension... »
Operaclick (Amelia Imbarrato) - December 2006

«The orchestra was conducted with great discretion and subtle coaxing by Jurowski, in the insinuating and subtly melodious game of Rimskyan constructions. »

MOZART & SALIERI AT THE TEATRO DAL VERME IN MILAN

«The orchestra of I Pomeriggi Musicali, conducted by the splendid Dmitri Jurowski, accompanied the protagonists in a highly intense dialogue. »

PARMA "BUON COMPLEANNO MAESTRO VERDI"

«When, however, Dmitri Jurowski stepped forward for Luisa Miller, the orchestra transformed itself in the hands of this young conductor, who is barely twenty-six years old. He had the music glittering with lustre, malleability and precision. The youngest Jurowski, son of Michail and brother of Vladimir, has thus also given proof of his enormous natural talent and an extraordinary level of preparation: the accompaniment of Miller's aria was agile and thunderous, the dynamics stood out in the finale and were beautiful and fluid. Taking into account the fact that so far, Jurowski had only conducted a single opera (Cherubini's Lo Sposo di tre e Marito di Nessuna at Martina Franca) it is impossible not to prophesy a splendid future for this last heir to a great musical dynasty. » Cronache dal palcoscenico, October 2005

FESTIVAL DELLA VALLE D'ITRIA - "REQUIEM" BY CHERUBINI

« ... and, in Russian conductor Dmitri Jurowski, somebody who is truly capable of taking seriously the immense value of a score that does not aspire to the heavenly ease of Mozart's masterpieces in this particular gene, but rather exhibits a solid harmonious structure, paired with beautiful counterpoints and orchestrations. Trough his musical interpretation of the work that was conducted with gusto and stylistic empathy, the piece impresses'»
Corriere della Sera, August 2005

«And precisely to this picture of classic grandiosity, streaked with romantic palpitations, young conductor Dmitri Jurowski was able to give an expressive direction, guiding the orchestra with self-assurance, sensitivity, and an acute perception of details. This was a vividly incandescent performance, in which intensely theatrical moments alternated with precious oases of peace and a delicate aura of eternal mystery; a compact and enthralling performance, with the always exceptional choir of Bratislava and the international orchestra as worthy and convincing interpreters. The marvellous interpretation of Dies Irae alone would have confirmed that this was an outstanding success, with numerous curtain calls for Maestro Jurowski. »
La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno (Nicola Sbisà, August 2005)

«Cherubini's requiem is a precious work, made even more so by the fact that it is not easy to get right. This particular performance, at the Festival della Valle d'Itria, was made special by the outstanding performance of young conductor Dmitri Jurowski, who has proved his enormous skill at vigorously expressing the composer's musical concept behind the work he is interpreting. Jurowski conducted the Orchestra internazionale d'Italia and the Slovak Chorus of Bratislava with visible emotion, elegant gestures and an acute musical sensibility. His interpretation gave the work a unique character and permitted the audience, who gave him standing ovations, to share an extraordinary musical experience.»
Avvenire (Gabriella Fumarola), August 2005

FESTIVAL DELLA VALLE D'ITRIA - "LO SPOSO DI TRE E MARITO DI NESSUNA" BY CHERUBINI

«And with young Dmitri Jurowski in the orchestra pit, facing the Orchestra Internazionale d'Italia that seemed transformed in comparison to the previous night, the performance also boasted a handsome master of the light genre, who led his singers with breathtaking ease.»
