NAYDEN TODOROV
conductor
|
The 28-year-old conductor proved himself to be the “key to success” of Saturday’s concert. He is an extremely gifted musician with a large personality, filled with the joy of creating music and possessing great skill in his dialogue with the orchestra, and in fulfilling all of one’s expectations… Glos Wielkopolski, February 2002
The Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra have audibly got close to the heart of Glass’s sound world and Todorov’s understanding of the music’s structures is convincing. Gramophone, March 2002
For the entire evening the conductor maintained, with an iron hand and with tremendous expression, the pulse of the composition, with faultless rhythm, like a metronome—this is rather rare. The Brahms was received without the ennui so typical of so many Late Romantic interpretations, filled with boiling ideas. In all truth I wanted to listen to this again. Gazeta Wyborcza, March 2002
…the orchestra under Nayden Todorov adds due weight and dramatic impact. Dynamic balance, rhythm, pulse and phrasing are all attended to under his tight direction. Stringendo Magazine, September 2002
