The style of conducting of Maestro Arkady Berin is distiguished by accurate rhythmical precision, as well as organic flowing gestures and well- coordinated entries , which sometimes are developing to dramatical, extensive dynamical risings with wide- spread gestures of suggestive expression and tonal imagination.

In this way Arkady Berin sets a high value on the acustic balance between the different instrumental sections of the orchestra, as well as in instrumental solo concertos and operas the dynamical and metrical adjustment of the orchestra to the soloists, who appear as being integrated acoustically in an organic whole but still are dynamically present in the foreground.

With a well- balanced sound of the string section, a warm and luminous sounds of the woodwind group, the well- finished sonority of the perfect intonated brass section as well as a great variety of dynamical shades and a certain instinct for the architectute and thematical context of a work, Araky Berin forms well- formed interpretations of music of all periods.

Prof. Arkady Berin combinates the razor- sharp rhythmical precision of Arturo Toscanini with the sumptuos tonal imagination of Karajan oder Furtw?ngler and the sparkling esprit of Leonard Bernstein. With his direct, precise gestures and economical but most effective conducting style and suggestive power of persuasion Arkady Berin communicates immediately with orchestra musicians of all nations.

In three decades of playing concerts and teaching as a professor for conducting Arkady Berin became one of the the most outstanding conductors of our time, who has a wide- spread repertoire of all periods of symphonic and operatic music. To this belong orchestral suites and oratories from Bach as well as the great symphonies of german classic and romantic period from Mozart and Beethoven to Schubert, Schumann and Brahms; the highlights of the italian operatic music (Verdi, Puccini, Rossini) and the major works of the german opera (Mozart, Wagner) as well as the ballets and operas of the great russian composers and the sinfonic Jazz of George Gershwin und Glenn Miller. Since his childhood in Russia Arkady Berin has a special relationship to the way of expression of the so- called Russian soul - the great poets and literates as Puschkin, Tolstoi und Dostojewsky and the famous russian composers as Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninov, Glinka und Mussorgsky.

With his natural feeling for the character of every work, his unmistakable charisma on stage, a certain instinct for the forming of expressive melodious bends and the structure of thematical and motive- connections Arkay Berin motivates orchestral musicians from various cultural origins to a maximum performance and electrifies audiences of all nations.

Maestro Arkady Berin is one of the most important artists of our time and continues the tradition of famous colleagues and countymen like Jewgenij Mrawinsky, Kyrill Kondrashin, Evgeni Swetlanov sowie Gennadi Roschdestwenskij.
