Press reviews
Peter Eötvös/Salvatore Sciarrino: Radames/Lohengrin
Opernhaus Biel-Bienne 2018“…The committed musicians of the Biel-Solothurn Symphony Orchestra are led to top performances under the musical direction of Yannis Pouspourikas: Under his direction, the orchestra’s pianissimi and the dominant Celine Steudler merge into a brilliant unit. (…)
Dr. Michaela Hirsch, onlinemerker.com
P. Tchaikovsky: Nussknacker und Mausekönig
Zürich Opera House“…A last-minute substitution, Yannis Pouspourikas! The unusual orchestral arrangement worked remarkably well.”
Graham Watts, bachtrack.com
G.Puccini, Tosca: “Yannis Pouspourikas connaît bien Tosca et sait éviter l’impression de cacophonie dans laquelle on bascule parfois au deuxième acte : la superposition des cris des uns et des autres reste toujours musicale, et c’est plus le moelleux des cordes qu’il cherche à faire ressortir que certaines dissonances présentes dans la partition.” Laurent Bury, Forumopera.com
L.Bernstein, Candide, Vlaamse Opera: “Yannis Pouspourikas, the conductor, lets rip in a punchy account of the overture but deftly engineers a smooth cushion of sound when the singers are in action. Orchestra and chorus are excellent and the whole enterprise is an object lessonin how to sing musicals au naturel.” Financial Time
G.Meyerbeer, Les Huguenots, Opéra de Nice: “…La découverte de l’intégralité de la partition musicale brillamment interprétée par un orchestre philharmonique de Nice en grande forme sous la direction de Yannis Pouspourikas, ajoute un attrait supplémentaire a une soirée qui n’en manquait déjà pas (…)”. Laurent Bury, Forumopera.com
G.Meryerbeer, Les Huguenots, Opéra de Nice: Rispetto alle note visive, più positivo l’aspetto musicale. Innanzi tutto abbiamo gustato l’accurata concertazione di Yannis Pouspourikas. Il direttore ha mostrato una particolare attenzione per il palcoscenico, mano sicura e idee chiare nel destreggiarsi nell’eclettica partitura di Meyerbeer e nel garantire tensione drammatica, anche da parte dell’orchestra, durante i poderosi cinque atti. Operaclick.com
S.Prokofiev, Die Liebe zu den drei Orangen, Aalto-Theater, Essen: Yannis Pouspourikas transportiert Prokofjews so facetten- wie anspielungsreiche Partitur perfekt in den Zuschauerraum, trägt die Sängerinnen und Sänger auf Händen, nutzt aber auch die orchestralen Intermezzi, um den Klang mal ordentlich „aufzudrehen“ – großer Applaus! Theaterpur.net
K.Weill, Mahagonny, Vlaamse Opera: This excellent orchestra was particularly focused throughout the show and maestro never ran a risk of drowning the singers. Great job! Opera-cake.blogspot.com
