Yaniv Dinur

 

MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY

 

'Pictures' was an absolute delight. Dinur, conducting without a score, let the piece unfold with energy and grandeur. He never allowed anything to feel too rushed or too weighty. His sense of timing extended to moments of silence as well, each of which had its own energy and momentum ... Dinur and the orchestra delivered wonderfully urgent passages and a good deal of what felt like musical abandon without ever losing control of their sound or the piece's shape and direction."

“Tasked with keeping everyone on the same page was guest conductor Yaniv Dinur, impressively demonstrating the skill set that won him the 2019 Sir Georg Solti Prize [Orff: Carmina Burana].”

LOUISIANA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

 

"The audience was dazzled by up-and-coming conductor Yaniv Dinur's thoughtful and inspired interpretations ... In addition to having a patent understanding of the pieces, the Israeli's interaction with the orchestra encouraged an infusion of spark and gracefulness into mainstream repertoire, as well as the compositions less commonly performed."

MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY

 

"Dinur used subtle shifts in tempo to create a compelling give and take of energy throughout the first movement, allowing plenty of expressive room to the longest phrases, but bringing sharp focus to shorter passages. A graceful, musical take on the second movement gave way to a poignant yet always forward-leaning interpretation of the third movement. Dinur and the players proceeded to give an exciting delivery of the piece's fourth movement, filling it with gorgeous contrasts and letting its grandest melodies soar." [Brahms Symphony No. 3]

RTE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA / DUBLIN

 

“It is rare to encounter such a young conductor who knows so exactly how to let music of this kind speak for itself. Nothing forward, each musical gesture felt right.”

NEW BEDOFRD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

 

 "... programming a breathtakingly ambitious work like Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is a major step for this orchestra. More than an hour long, in five movements that each have multiple moments of intensity, Dinur showed he will not back away from challenging his players."

“Yaniv Dinur’s vigorous energy, sensitive dynamics and thoughtful articulation combined with a formidable authoritative command of the orchestral forces. In Tchaikovsky’s ‘Romeo and Juliet Overture,’ he conveyed a freshness that instilled new life into this often-heard work.”
