Maariv
By Ora Binur

... musical leadership and charisma ... Dvorak's 8th Symphony was immensely appealing, full of life, stylish, and most of all, blessed with many moments of musical tension and soft dynamics in particular.

Ben-Dor "painted" these with beautiful, elastic gestures, and impressive body language ...

... An impressive achievement with the orchestra ... it all depends on the quality of the baton.

Yediot Aharonot
By Hanoch Ron

... the credit goes to conductor Gisèle Ben-Dor. The sound has new substance, the music flows, the tone is even, there is plenty of detail work ... A transformation.

Ben-Dor's Dvorak is full of Romantic warmth, but without any exaggerated sentimentality.

... the orchestra was brought to a new level.
