"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 07 Apr '94
"Mit Georg Chlitsios leitete ein hochtalentierter, vielversprechender Dirigent
das musikalische Geschehen,."
Newspaper "Die Rheinpfalz", Germany 14 Nov '94
"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 05 Aug '99
"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 notige
Sicherheit. Die Partituren, selbst die uberaus komplizierten der neuen Musik,
schien er im Kopf zu haben, denn er dirigierte fast alles auswendig."
Newspaper "Schwarzwalder Bote", Germany 15 July '00
"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 '00
"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 '02
