	Istanbul City Listings Yoel Levi opens new door for CRR Orchestra Female stage pioneer on stage once again Istanbul ...
		Yoel Levi, the renowned conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, was in Turkey on a two-week educational and artistic trip.
		Levi and master guitar-maker Amnon Weinstein gave a press conference earlier in the week and discussed the significance of the workshop for the CRR Orchestra and the impact of education on musicians.
		Levi's trip to Istanbul was a joint effort of the CRR and the Israeli Consulate General.

	SoundStage! Holst - The Planets
		Yoel Levi directs a refreshingly straightforward account of Holst's masterpiece, which can stand comparison with all but the very finest versions already available.
		Levi takes Mars very quickly, as do Andrew Davis and Sir Charles Mackerras (of whom I will offer more later), although neither is as fast as the composer, who takes his own music more quickly than anyone else I've heard.
		Levi's Venus provides an oasis of tranquility after the shattering opening movement; his relatively relaxed tempo provides him and the orchestra time to luxuriate in the delicate orchestral coloring of the score.

		Yoel Levi's Atlanta Mahler series (1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 so far) has been criticized as bland, and indeed the soft-edged attack is offputting at first; but here, at least, he's intensely dramatic and poetic without obscuring the structure.
		Ruud's opening movement is spring to Levi's summer, dragonfly light and gentle and skipping, less introspective but with the same edifying balance and clarity.
		So Levi's First (like those of Simon Rattle, Leif Segerstam, Neeme Järvi, Jacek Kaspszyk, James Judd, and the rest) is an anachronism, but I'd argue it represents Gustav's romantic debut symphony at its best, as the record of his love for Johanna Richter, a love that never quite died.

	Amazon.com: Mahler: Symphony No. 1: Music: Gustav Mahler,Yoel Levi,Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Levi is a clearheaded leader, and he rarely imposes a personal agenda on Mahler; it's neither as icy as Boulez's approach nor as gut-wrenching as Bernstein's.
		This Mahler 1st by Yoel Levi and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is the fifth Mahler symphony by these forces, in what gave indications of being a complete traversal of the Mahler symphonies.
		Levi has the proper Mahler "DNA" to recognize that an extended interlude in the middle of the final "Stmisch Bewegt" movement anticipates, by many years, similar passages in the late Mahler symphonies.

	2 June 1997 Digest
		Yoel Levi, widely credited for transforming the Atlanta Symphony into a world-class orchestra, has been named a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the School of Music.
		Levi had already established a globe-spanning career as a guest conductor when he became music director of the ASO in 1988.
		Levi's work was honored by Gramophone magazine this way: "Yoel Levi has built a reputation for himself and his orchestra that is increasingly the envy of his Big-Five American counterparts in New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Boston and Chicago."

	Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
		Yoel Levi has built an extraordinary instrument during his tenure in Atlanta.
		Levi holds the reigns too tightly, and the result, good though it may be from a technical point of view, hardly matches what Bernstein (DG), Kubelik (DG), Solti/LSO (Decca), or the recent Boulez (DG) achieve in this same music.
		Levi is very good, then, but not quite great, and in this symphony there's a lot of recorded greatness to contend with.

	Classical Net Review - Barber - Knoxville, etc.
		Levi seems to concentrate not on rhythm (as he should), but on texture.
		Levi, combined with Telarc's engineering wizards, presents so transparent an ensemble, I can usually tell at any given moment which individual instruments sound, but I don't care.
		Levi does justice to the louder climaxes, but the work just lies there in the quieter passages - no intensity.

	Singapore Symphony Orchestra - 23 August 2002 - INKPOT
		It is not without reason that Yoel Levi was billed as the main attraction of this third concert in the "Violin Explorers Series".
		I was amazed that Levi conducted all three works in this concert without any scores, which certainly helped him give every ounce of his heart and soul to the actual work of conducting.
		Yoel came across as a truly delightful person for those of us who met him at the Friends of SSO "Meet the Performers" dinner, and I am sure that the SSO truly enjoyed working with him.

	Colorful Concert Showpieces From Film Composer Miklós Rózsa Review By Joe Milicia
		Robert McDuffie, violin; Lynn Harrell, cello; Yoel Levi conducting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
		Yoel Levi and the Atlanta Symphony provide a rapturous outpouring to match the soloist’s, and Telarc does its usual outstanding job.
		The sixth variation has the soloists playing in octaves, and the violin gets to restate the theme in the final variation before the cello joins in for the quiet close.

		Following hard on the heals of Peter Hill’s listing, on BBC Radio 3’s ‘Record Review’, of Levi’s Sacre du printemps as the No 1 recording (CD-80266) of Stravinsky’s premier league test-piece it’s good to be reminded of Levi’s impressive credentials and achievements.
		Levi is one of that rare breed of artists who give you what the composer wrote, without any intrusive ‘interpretation’.
		This is a performance to live with - a disc of the Second Symphony, not the Second Symphony seen through the eyes of X, Y or Z. What a pity about the coupling, though.
