Critical Acclaim
- "...Mrs. Dynamite. Her Schumann’s 4th with the splendid Bogota
Philharmonic was more than praiseworthy; the contrast between the thickness of the third
movement and the vigor of the finale were a testament to the symphonic mind of this
artist whose present is brilliant and whose future appears to be more than promising."
Scherzo.es
- “And this Figaro would have been much poorer without conductor Zoe Zeniodi
setting off Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra with a whirlwind overture and never letting up.”
NZ Herald
- “Galvanizing the whole performance was the glorious music which was delivered
by the Auckland Philharmonia under the baton of the enthusiastic Zoe Zeniodi.”
nzartsreview.org
- “The musical highlights were the long finales of the second and fourth acts.
Zeniodi tied together all of the musical threads easily, highlighting key individual
vocal and instrumental details and bringing each of these to an exciting conclusion.”
bachtrack.com
- “...and with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra so light on their feet under
the sensitive leadership of conductor Zoe Zeniodi.”
Classical Chromatics
- "The audience of more than 1,000 people immediately connected with the intensity of
the French pianist Lise de la Salle and Zeniodi who moved everyone to tears...The
performance ended with a solid version of Schumann’s Symphony no. 1."
Las 2 Orillas
- "Conductor Zoe Zeniodi and 21st Ensemble, the work’s other dedicatees, provide shimmering accompaniment."
Opera News, Joshua Rosenblum
- "The night culminated in an unexpectedly thrilling performance of Tchaikovsky's 5th free from any sense of routine. The ingenious Greek maestro dealt with this fully developed, romantic symphonic work by making the utmost of her musicians' youthful alacrity and focused presence."
Kathimerini
- "Zoe Zeniodi conducts a fleet, dramatically intense performance." “Zeniodi drew some of the best playing the orchestra has ever produced. Ensemble
playing was knife-edge precise.” "Zoe Zeniodi showed impressive podium authority and control."
