“Bernstein, Gershwin and Nino Rota would at the outset seem to make for an adequately popular concert, but the result is quite different if an outstanding conductor directs the group. Dante Anzolini is outstanding (exceptional, extraordinary) – moreover, he seems to view it as his calling to popularize the works of the second half of the 20th century, to seek out the young composers of our time.”

“…lightning end for the Symphonic subscribers in the Congress Center in Villach: Dante Anzolini conducted the Bruckner Orchester Linz with almost explosive gesture and urgency…”

“The concert finished with Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony. A most exciting performance, with strong antagonisms between the utmost sublime and the apparently trivial within the composer’s broad and complicated work…but (the antagonisms) melted together to a firm unity of enormous emotionality and beauty in the intense and expressive interpretation of Anzolini, which culminated in the triumphant sound explosion of the symphony’s finale.”

“(in Philip Glass’ Akhnaten) Dante Anzolini conducts masterly the Philharmonic Orchestra of Strasbourg”.

“ the guidance of Dante Anzolini…is superb in the elegiac passages… made of such a beauty and wonderful sensuousness….”

“Dante Anzolini….(gave)…a perfect interpretation in every point…” (Glass’ Akhnaten)

“Dante Anzolini…his baton, of an imperturbable precision, brings up a constantly clean discourse…” (Glass’ Akhnaten)

“Anzolini is a well-trained and versatile musician, with a charismatic podium presence…”

“…in addition to being clear and purposeful, there is operatic fire in his blood. The best sections of the Mahler (Symphony N. 5) really sang with lyric beauty, and the Adagietto was heartbreaking.”
