Scottish Symphony Orchestra

“… [Yoav Talmi’s] carefully measured overview appropriately reflected Bruckner’s granite-like structural blocks, but there were remarkable elements of insight and flexibility which, particularly in the concluding slow movement…reached astonishing heights of passion and emotion.”

Orchestre Symphonique de Québec

“…Talmi evoked a magical atmosphere…”

MONTREAL GAZETTE

Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

“Haydn’s Symphony No. 96 (The Miracle) and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7… both received breathtaking readings under the baton of guest conductor Yoav Talmi.”

DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE (Rochester, NY) 

San Diego Symphony

“Talmi’s control of the orchestra’s attacks was a blessed refinement in the Mozart [Violin Concerto No. 3, K. 216] and a cause for huzzahs in the Bruckner Symphony No. 4…this might have been a recording-ready performance…”

Munich Philharmonic

“It is not always that the Munich Philharmonic works under a guest conductor with such an animated and disciplined manner, as it did in the last subscription concert.  It was immediately evident that the Israeli conductor Yoav Talmi developed a good link with the musicians and induced them with his temperamental, sweeping manner to an impressive achievement.”
