“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
