REVIEWS
Prof. Dalia Atlas
 

THE LONDON TIMES
“The most unusual and welcome event of the evening was to see a lady on the podium. Dalia Atlas of Israel presented Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite. Her reading, too, was completely relaxed and will be remembered for the gloriously voluptuous tone she drew from the strings.”

THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
“She looks a natural with the baton; a clear beat, gestures which are all the more convincing… she is all grace, grace from her wrists to her toes. The orchestra liked playing with her. The BBC’s Northern Head of Music, Mr. Gerald McDonald, said emphatically: “She’s a very good musician”.”

THE LIVERPOOL DAILY POST
“Dalia Atlas handled the first movement (of Beethoven’s Second Symphony), completely and sensitively. Her natural style wisely makes no attempt to emulate masculine forcefulness and prefers to rely on a very sensitive ear… Her reading… was enchanting and she drew exquisite playing from her orchestra.”

IL MESSAGGERO (ROME)
“A woman conductor is a rarity, but a good woman conductor is even more rare. This is the case with Dalia Atlas.”

L’OSSERVATORE ROMANO
“Her manner of conducting is full of enthusiasm, that she communicates to her orchestra, who follow her faithfully.”

PROF. DAVID EPSTEIN (MIT)
“What you accomplished…was a miracle, and I am enormously impressed. You are really a remarkable musician.”

THE HOUSTON POST
“Dalia Atlas reached the sounds and the enthusiasm that only Toscanini reached before.”

THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE
“Dalia Atlas set new high standarts conducting the (Houston) orchestra. It would be quite a challenge to keep this kind of excellence during the next concerts.”

AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE
“Atlas - One of today’s finer conductors.”

MUSICAL OPINION, GB
“First lady of the baton.”

THE MUSICAL TIMES, LONDON
“Masterly Interpretations….”

SIR YEHUDI MENUHIN
“Prof. Dalia Atlas is one of the most effective, impressive and capable conductors I know. I have heard her at various concerts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, whose members all admire her, and her experience and musicianship are indisputable. She has held positions not only as Artistic Director and Conductor of excellent symphony orchestras, but has also held high pedagogical positions in music academies. She is thus an all-around musician, whom I can recommend without hesitation, and I am delighted to affirm that her name ‘Atlas’ is, in this case, totally appropriate. She carries an orchestra with ease.”
