'He is not an ostentatious conductor, and the torment and tenderness of this complex and often enigmatic piece registered all the more powerfully for his refusal to add false theatrics to Shostakovich's compellingly dramatic diary of a Stalin survivor. ' The Guardian - LSO Symphony Orchestra
'Last evening at the Kennedy Center, the 30-year-old Israeli led the National Symphony Orchestra in a blazing concert of the music of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, as well as of an American premiere. Volkov elicited music making of clarity, sparkle and thrust that spoke of a fiery spirit and an acute, if still developing, musical intelligence.’ Washington Post - National Symphony Orchestra
