Dimitri Illarionov’s concert
was one of the "top five classical concerts" of
2003 in Edmonton.
... According to this standard, elegant and dramatic Angela
Hewitt was a shoo-in (and a red hot number at that). Classical
guitarist Dimitri Illarionov had the same kind of charisma.
The chemistry between the audience and this young Russian
guitarist was exceptional.
Allison Kydd, Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), 2004

I felt like I was struck by lightning the moment he touched
the guitar. It sent chills down my spine. Oh man, I have never
experienced anything like it. Incredible! Simply incredible!
Irma Wassall - Poet Laureate and founder of the Wichita Society
of the Classical Guitar (Wichita, Kansas, USA), March 2004.

Begeisterung fur gezupfte Klange
Das JugendZupfOrchester NRW gastierte mit dem
Gitarrensolisten Dimitri Illarionov im Forum
... The young Russian guitarist Dimitri
Illarionov is on the onset of the worldwide prominence after
winning the first price in GFA competition. In "The Dream
of Little Fish" he displayed a firework of virtuosity
– the filigree of sounds rivaled the incredibly swift technique
of fingers and ardent warmth of bursts of emotions. Only an
encore performance could satisfy the storms of applause from
the audience.

Graziles Saitenspiel (Stringplaying
with Grace)
Quartetto Colori and Dimitri Illarionov gave
a guest performance in the Apostelkirche
...Dimitri Illarionov from Moscow showed the art of playing
guitar at the highest level. The young guitarist won recently
the most important guitar competition, The Guitar Foundation
of America – GFA. In Gutersloh, he opened the program with
Mauro Giuliani’s "Grande Ouverture." Dramatic accents,
oscillating arpeggios and melodic passages: Dimitri Illarionov
mastered all this with exceptional virtuosity and suppleness.
One could think of listening to the whole orchestra, so colorful
and well arranged was this exceptional musician. His interpretation
of compositions with romantic and folkloristic influences
was as convincing as his play of the classical modern music.
At the end, Quartetto Colori and Dimitri Illarionov played
together two movements from Eduardo Angulo’s "Il sogno
del pescolino" (The Dream of Little Fish) where both
showed the most precise and united ensemble. Enthusiastic
applause with shouting bravo and two long encores completed
the evening.

Discovering New Horizons
…It was an inspiring musical performance
of the artist for whom no technical obstacles exist… Today
we can talk about a truly new generation of young guitarists
aspiring to overcome the “guitar stereotypes” and conquer
new pinnacles of the guitar music. No doubt, Dimitri Illarionov
is the musician of the kind. Lately, he has become one of
the most brilliant and talented young Russian guitarists.
His music has already thrilled professionals and guitar music
fans in many countries.

Guitar's Moon Sound...
… A guitar soloing for the first time
in the city of Irkutsk to the accompaniment of a symphonic
orchestra was a refreshing and remarkable experience. Pleasantly
melancholic, moon sounds of the guitar pervaded the souls
filling the concert hall with an unusual, almost magic serenity.
Liberated from the anxieties of our arduous days, listeners
were deeply enchanted by the sounds of the Spanish composition
"Fantasia para un Gentilhombre."
… Dimitri Illarionov is one of the best young Russian guitarists.
Perfect strokes, noble timbre of sound, deep but self-controlled
temperament – everything that creates an atmosphere when we
feel we come in touch with the highest art.
Zhanna Leonova, East-Siberian Pravda (Russia),
