“In no other recording of the Bach/Webern Ricercare do the blended brass and woodwind voicings so vividly evoke the edgy, tart sonorities that characterize many Baroque organs...the best Webern orchestral disc ever“ - Reissue Decca Complete Webern Orchestral disc, Cleveland Orchestra, ClassicsToday.com, July 12, 2010
“His performance of Brahms‘ Symphony No. 1 evinces great stalwartness, a keen vision realized by means of active engagement with every corner of the ensemble...seething intensity, a bold rendition whose main themes scorch the aural retina and whose developments steadily and forcefully thrust the listener forward. Hold out for an Andante that‘s as deeply organic as it is fulfilling.“ - Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Cleveland Orchestra, The Plain Dealer, April 2, 2010
“The orchestra’s playing was pert and lively in the outer movements [Mozart Sinfonia Concertante]; the central Andante was saturated with a mesmerizing glow. With the orchestra at full muster, Mr. Dohnanyi offered an account of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, notable for its keenly illuminated architecture, showing a sovereign control in pacing and transitions.“ - Mozart Sinfonia Concertante, Bruckner Symphony 4, New York Philharmonic, The New York Times, December 11, 2009
“Schumann‘s Symphony No. 2 was an unqualified success, affirming Dohnanyi‘s status as a leading interpreter of the composer‘s difficult scores. There have been more pliant and glowing performances of this work, but never have I heard it rendered with such unrelenting drive and laser-guided vigor.“ - Mozart K.414 with Paul Lewis, Bartok, Schumann, Chicago Symphony, The Chicago Tribune, November 21, 2009
“In Dohnányi‘s conducting – never remotely showy – it is the clarity of his approach and his inclination to underline the natural democracy of Brahms‘s orchestral writing that is absorbing.“ - Philharmonia Orchestra, St. David‘s Hall, Cardiff, The Guardian, October 20, 2009
