  • Turandot, Opéra national du Rhin

    • At the head of a committed orchestra and a valiant choir (Strasbourg and Dijon), Domingo Hindoyan proves to be a true theater conductor, but also restores the colors of the Puccinian orchestra, with beautiful atmospheres, particularly in the third act, Magnificent.

    • The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’s new concert season — the second with Domingo Hindoyan as chief conductor — couldn’t have got off to a more rousing start... the Sinfonietta, so vigorous, jagged and bright, took us far away from our mundane lives, echoing one of the remarks in the season booklet’s bouquet of enthusiastic blurbs: “When Hindoyan conducts the orchestra, every concert feels like a holiday"... the orchestra’s playing was so vivid and freshly nuanced that it was impossible to feel jaded... this was still a Mahler Fourth to remember. And when you’re planning your next holiday, do keep Hindoyan and Liverpool in mind.

  • Bruckner of freshness and grandeur in Liverpool

    • The first striking thing about Domingo Hindoyan’s approach to this enormous titan of a symphony was the absence of a music stand or score in front of him. Few conductors can know this symphony well enough to conduct from memory, though the benefits quickly became apparent. Though vast in scale, much of the 80-minute symphony felt arrestingly intimate in dialogue between conductor and sections of his orchestra." This was Bruckner with all the requisite grandeur, but also an uncommon sense of freshness.

  • Clear, complex and gripping: Opera North’s Rigoletto reviewed

    • Across the Pennines in Liverpool, the RLPO’s new chief conductor Domingo Hindoyan directed an all-French programme. This is his first season and we’re just starting to get a flavour of his tastes and enthusiasms, though any conductor who champions Messiaen’s Les Offrandes Oubliées, Debussy’s Jeux and Roussel’s chilly ballet Bacchus et Ariane is clearly not out for easy wins. These were focused, intelligent performances and in the Debussy, in particular, Hindoyan moved with economy and command, applying gauzy washes of atmosphere and brilliant dabs of colour. The RLPO is one of the few UK orchestras that gets to rehearse, for the most part, in its own concert hall, and nothing about its ensemble sound ever feels forced. They’re a fascinating match for a musical intellect as keen as Hindoyan’s, and of all the recent conductor signings at UK orchestras, this is the one that intrigues me the most.
