“Beautifully shaped by the young Venezuelan conductor Carlos Izcaray. He led the performance with an unstinting command of pace, superbly capturing the score’s dramatic fire”

OPERA NEWS 2011

“Maestro Izcaray displayed a fine command of the comic pacing and the overall propulsion of the piece, and he elicited a beautifully filigreed succession of instrumental details that imparted substantial delight.”  OPERA TODAY 2011

“Carlos Izcaray is really talented and on the podium he communicates very well with the orchestra. He is confident and has clear interpretative ideas, which enable him to transmit his concepts of style, sound, balance, and phrase. His enthusiasm for the music inspires the performers as well. I believe in Carlos Izcaray as a conductor, and can highly recommend him.”

DAVID ZINMAN

”Idiomatic conducting, Izcaray supplies the necessary dramatic propulsion.”
