« The appointment of Yuval
Gotlibovich to our faculty represents the school's commitment to
enormous talent and brilliance. Prof. Gotlibovich has demonstrated that
he has the vision and expertise to be a sought-after pedagogue. His
playing and musicianship is well established in the string community,
both here in the U.S. and abroad. We welcome him to the School of Music,

A performance involving Edlina-Dubinsky is never short on emotional
heat, and this one certainly wasn't. Nor was it short on tonal beauty,
thanks to all involved: violinist Federico Agostini, cellist Tsuyoshi
Tsutsumi, violist Yuval Gotlibovich and double bassist DaXun Zhang. What
an ensemble they made as they wove their way through this glorious
quintet. The work's music is in turns, capricious, charming, elegant,
graceful, ebullient, playful, happy and festive. All those qualities
were fully reflected in Sunday's absolutely lovely reading. »

«Callisto
Ensemble-Roosevelt University's Ganz Hall-Chicago.Two young musicians,
violist Yuval Gotlibovich and harpist Kelsy Erdahl, were among the
evening's standout soloists. In the opening bar of
Olivero's"Bashrav's" Gotlibovich's austere solo line was both
commanding and full of fury.»

Yuval Gotlibovich performs in Oklahoma. The first guest recital
sponsored by the Oklahoma Viola Society was amazing treat for the
fifty-plus Oklahoma violist and others present. Gotlibovich shared a
rich palette of sound, performing works by bach, Ard, Krein, Schubert
and two Primrose transcriptions for encores!! His playing was effortless
and expression passionate. The OKVS board was very thankful for him
coming to perform.»

...the concert continued with stunning playing of the first prize
winner-Yuval Gotlibovich. His interpretation of the J.S.Bach 5th suite
was this evening's peek and moved the audience. You have to be a true
artist to fascinate an audience in such way for 25 minutes, playing solo
music...The performance was fascinating and spectacular. »

« He wasn't just playing any string instrument; he was playing a
sumptuous yet viola in the best tradition of virtuoso violists.
Gotlibovich is going to be special. »

« Earlier, another set of cheers rewarded the endeavors of Yuval Gotlibovich in Béla Bartók's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra. The concerto was pure
Bartók, with bracing sonics, captivating rhythms, and those peek-a-boo touches of lyricism the composer always liked to toss in the mix. »

« ...In the ardent performance of Dvorák's Quartet in E-Flat Major, Opus 87, a splendid student talent, Yuval
Gotlibovich, gave the viola a golden tone. »
Hoosier Times, Bloomington (USA)
« ...For
Gotlibovich, there was plenty to taunt and test him in the music. He ran the gauntlet and emerged not only as victor but as confident
possessor of the piece. He had made it his with a display of dazzle and
no small measures of soothingly mellow viola artistry.»
