“With his conducting the music breaths, transitions and dynamics work effortlessly and instead of big gestures, Tartanis uses minimalist movements with his head or shoulder to communicate and to transform the music, which reminds of Leonard Bernstein. Thus the conductor himself becomes the “Winter Daydream”, that enchants everyone in the hall. An extraordinary concert ends with monumental applause and beguiling bravi-calls. ”
Passauer Neue Presse - Carola Baumann-Moritz
