Reviews & Press

 
 

Salzburg Festival - Prokofiev - The Gambler

The 30-year-old Russian Timur Zangiev makes his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival, and it is a magnificent one.
Sergei Prokofiev's first opera “The Gambler” has its premiere here on Monday evening, and Zangiev bores into the piece until he finds the cornerstones between which it is stretched: here garish, loud tones, an unstoppable motoric and a cool continuous parlando; there moments of standstill and a highly emotional, intimate chamber play. The conductor fills the space in between with the finest nuances and dynamic gradations as well as delicate tonal shadings.

...we can now hear a very convincing mixture of soft Viennese sound and Timur Zangiev's tight, orderly, pointed and altogether extremely assured conducting. The 30-year-old Russian Salzburg debutant is currently much in demand internationally. And rightly so, as it turns out.
 

- Judith von Sternburg , fr.de

The conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic is no self-actualizer, no young genius with poses for the gallery, but a craftsman. He keeps the motor skills of the score running, its sucking circles, without overheating the music. Neon colors, bizarreness, bitingly nasty details, the simultaneity of completely different musical aggregate states - you can hear all of that. But Zangiev has understood: Prokofiev needs no coaching, no artificial exaggeration, but a pilot who organizes, weighs up and fits it all in. This conducting is captivating because it is so adept and takes the often stubborn Philharmoniker on a journey through music that is rarely performed. Timur Zangiev is a name to remember.

Symphony Concert - Tchaikovsky - Shostakovich

Il ventinovenne direttore russo in Ciaikovskij e Shostakovic conferma le enormi qualità che si erano già intraviste lo scorso anno: è nata una stella

La bacchetta sopraffina di Zangiev a questo punto accende l’intera orchestra in una tempesta di fuoco, annunciata dai martellanti timpani e da una sfolgorante fanfara di ottoni prima che tutto finisca come in una “tragedia irreparabile”.
Pubblico in visibilio, successo meritatissimo per tutti… “Questa è stata la sua risposta, ed è stata una buona risposta”.

Teatro alla Scala - Tchaikovsky - Pique Dame

Dans la fosse, Timur Zanguiev joue une carte gagnante face à l’excellente phalange milanaise par l’assurance, la justesse et la maitrise de sa direction en symbiose totale avec les chanteurs et la dramaturgie : des débuts périlleux mais prometteurs, à suivre au delà de cette nouvelle production, au demeurant très réussie….
 

- Patrice Imbaud , Resmusica

Dirigendo senza bacchetta, con gesto pulito e ampio, all’occorrenza energico e scattante, Zangiev dà, dell’elaborata partitura, una lettura raffinata e nitida, coesa e di lucida levigatezza, soffusa e al contempo vibrante, ottenendo dalla compagine scaligera un suono polito e dalle tinte pastello, all’occorrenza variegato in sonorità corrusche e maggiormente livide (in momenti quali, ad esempio, il temporale del I atto o il suicidio di Liza). Una direzione, quella di Zangiev, nella quale coesistono felicemente tecnica ferrea, rigore stilistico, squisita sensibilità interpretativa e duttilità timbrica, tutto molto apprezzato dagli spettatori.

Bolshoi Theatre - Rimsky-Korsakov - Sadko - Conductor

The accents, somewhere lyrical, somewhere angry, were brightly and correctly placed by conductor Timur Zangiev, and helped the action without drowning out a single director's note.

Conductor Timur Zangiev and the orchestra under his direction were a separate, special joy. Amazing, thorough, emotional work
 

- Anton Dolin

It is important that there were no rude denominations that kill the epic flow of the musical stream: grandeur and coloristic beauty, measure and harmony in the sound of the orchestra (under the baton of Timur Zangiev)…
