Turun SanomatSymphony No. 4 (Schumann) · Turku Philharmonic Orchestra
Ari Rasilainen managed to capture the dramatic essence without undue exaggeration. It was one of the most powerful experiences in a long time — an evening to remember.
Symphonies (Atterberg) · Radio-Philharmonie Hannover des NDR
Rasilainen is a name to retain for the future — a great conductor capable of giving his best. The complete cycle of his symphonies is a real revelation, and truly an event in the recording world.
Josep Pascual
Piano Concerto No. 1 (Saygun) · Presidential Symphony Orchestra
During his long career, Rasilainen has gathered a highly regarded reputation; he is known as a charismatic and professional conductor.
Piano Concerto No. 2 (Rachmaninoff) · Kuopio City Orchestra
Rasilaisen johtamistavassa on merkittävää se, että keskiössä ei vaikuta olevan kapellimestarin esiintyminen yleisölle, vaan soittajien tukeminen omassa tehtävässään.
