"Juri Gilbo is undoubtedly a discovery and perhaps even the best, that the renowned St. Petersburger School has brought to the world in the last years! The concert was an unforgettable experience of pure music!" Berliner Zeitung "His trademark is an almost inaudible breathtaking pianissimo. Thus the stronger and louder is the well deserved thunderous standing ovation." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "Finally there is a charismatic personality in front of the orchestra! Juri Gilbo captivates not only the public, but also the orchestra from the first tone and doesn't let up until the last moment! An evening of enormous artistry!" Süddeutsche Zeitung

"Juri Gilbo and his orchestra gave the music their Russian soul and so won the hearts of the Germans. An unforgettable event!" OVZ "A string timbre, round and full, as if phrased with one breath; meaningfully assembled melodies and the masterful coordination of entries were led by the orchestra's conductor Juri Gilbo with clearly defined, precise musical direction." Koelner Rundschau
