Reviews Quotes
"Plumeri approaches Tchaikovsky as if it were just as newly minted as his own work. And for those of us who have taken these works for granted and not even actually "listened" to them for many years, this carefully paced and lucidly executed rendering is aurally revelatory. Rather than exaggerate or wallow in the score's pitfalls for potential excess, Plumeri just lets the music simply unveil itself without any forcing. And since this orchestra can no doubt perform this music in their collective sleep, they deliver a truly effortless and naturally breathing reading that is genuinely affecting."
– Fanfare Magazine
"Plumeri conducts the Moscow Philharmonic in a performance sensitive to the music's smallest nuances. The same qualities can be heard in the eloquent, expertly controlled performance of the "Pathetique," on which this orchestra has a special claim."
– The Washington Post
"Plumeri has a wonderful gift for lyricism,. And this work has a considerable amount of it."
– Double Reed Review
"Plumeri has an inborn dramatic sense of shape and pacing. These well-prepared, composer-conducted performances and recordings are both technically and esthetically stunning. Let us hope more Plumeri is in the recording pipeline."
