“In the Shostakovich Second Piano Concerto with soloist Dmitri Alexeev …. the alertness of the Royal Opera House Orchestra might well have been a response to the positive energy of their conductor, Robert Trory.”

“Trory directed an affectionate performance of Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony (‘Winter Daydreams’). The work’s invisible “programme” was very much in his mind’s eye when he prepared the score … these mood pictures certainly inspired Trory to draw some ardent, vividly detailed playing from his orchestra.”

“Robert Trory and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House opened with a brilliant and exhilarating account of Berlioz’s ‘Roman Carnival’ Overture.

“Dmitri Alexeev was more than welcome in Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto in which he played superbly and was very well accompanied.

“The concert ended with Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony, ‘Winter Daydreams’, which the commanding Robert Trory directed from memory in a broadly conceived, finely-played and wholly convincing performance that marked him out as a born conductor”.
