Some articles from Greek and European newspapers:
“The perfect technique of Mr. Chlitsios, the precise gestures and the fact that he conducted the whole concert from memory, have created the sense that a new “Mitropoulos” was born.”
Newspaper “Ta Nea”, London 7 April 1994
“Mit Georg Chlitsios leitete ein hochtalentierter, vielversprechender Dirigent das musikalische Geschehen,…”
Newspaper “Die Rheinpfalz”, Germany 14 November 1994
“We observed him to reach with knowledge and respect over the demanding Bizet’s score and offer a detailed, well balanced and absolutely operatic performance.”
“… we are glad to point out that the promising Epirotiki Opera is in the hands of a capable conductor, whose wide musical knowledge, his temperament and his talent can lead in many future success.”
Newspaper “Eleftheros”, Athens 5 August 1999
“George’s rehearsal technique and the manner in which he communicates with orchestras are impeccable. His approach is extremely thorough, but he also has a wonderful sense of humanity and humour, which gain him considerable respect from all the players with whom he works.”
Prof. William Webb, artistic director LCM
“Dem Dirigenten Georg Chlitsios muss ein hohes Lob gezollt werden. Mit sparsamen Gesten und dennoch deutlichen Impulsen gab er seinem Orchester immer die nötige Sicherheit. Die Partituren, selbst die überaus komplizierten der neuen Musik, schien er im Kopf zu haben, denn er dirigierte fast alles auswendig.”
Newspaper “Schwarzwälder Bote”, Germany 15 July 2000
“With his talent, his brilliant musicological education and his hard work, he has managed to build a wonderful orchestra-school for many young musicians.”
Newspaper “Apogevmatini”, Athens 23 July 2000
“The Orchestra, besides the difficult conditions, under the steady baton of the amazing conductor, true leader, George Chlitsios, gave a rare result. The phrases and the difficult passages were crispy clear. The conductor managed to balance the sections of the orchestra and achieved a bright and rhythmical sound, having a total union of orchestra and ballet. (...) G.Ch. is methodical, well prepared and interpreter of the composer’s command. His dynamic confidence and the knowledge of every single note led him to ignore the metronome.”
Newspaper “Vradini”, Athens 20 September 2002
