Mr. Slatkin is represented exclusively by
Columbia Artists Management LLC
“In addition to a gripping reading of the Verdi (La Forza del Destino) overture, Slatkin led a theatrically charged yet playful romp through Carl Orff’s populist blockbuster ‘Carmina Burana,’ and a deftly realized world premiere by James Lee III, a young Michigan-born composer with a bright future.”
– Detroit Free Press
“He led the DSO through a full-length performance that displayed an orchestra on its toes, playing up for its new maestro, delivering this kaleidoscopic music with the polish of experience but with the animation of a first encounter.”
– The Detroit News
“This music (Gershwin’s ‘An American in Paris’) is right in Slatkin’s wheelhouse, and he and the DSO painted the score with vivid imagery and a relaxed rhythmic gait.”
– Detroit Free Press
“Elgar’s ‘Enigma Variations,’ a Slatkin specialty, occupied the bill’s entire second half... Slatkin knows how best to highlight its charms without milking the familiar motif and sending the music, and especially it’s ‘Nimrod’ episode, into sticky sentimentality. He led a polished and balanced ensemble.”
– MusicalAmerica.com
“Slatkin’s interpretative ideas unleashed the emotional and pictorial depth with exceptional freshness. He inspired a cohesive, brilliant response from the orchestra, which offered nuance, warmth and, in climactic moments, tremendous force. An arresting performance.”
– The Baltimore Sun
“Some carefully shaped moments brought out the music’s luminous inner voices, but the conductor never allowed the details to distract from the general sweep of the score. There were numerous magical moments…”
– The Washington Post
“This was a no-holds-barred performance ... Slatkin is a natural Elgarian who understands the music’s flexibility, its passion and lyricism.”
– The Times
“Slatkin, strongly attuned to the subtleties of the silken score, coaxed a luminous performance from the orchestra.”
– The Baltimore Sun
“Slatkin led the orchestra like a master storyteller unfolding a terrible epic of suffering and loss.”
– Globe and Mail, Toronto
“The conductor’s vision was bold, dramatic and compelling.”
– Toronto Star
