"...It was an excelent concert... I have to mention the unusual, unlike finnish, sound in Enescu...the sound was very expressive.

...I don't rememeber hearing a Mozart's piece peformed as well in style as the one conducted by maestro Agafita. This regards the sound, phrasing... he managed to bring out the purity of Mozart's music..."

"…The first concert of November was conducted by young Mihail Agafita, born in the Republic of Moldova, who has been attracting attention since last year.His talent, musicality, and conviction captivated the audience as well as the orchestra. During the exceptionally well conducted performance, I had the opportunity not only to enjoy the evening's triumph, but also to reaffirm my belief that this young conductor was the best of the season, repeatedly proven from all points of view: professional qualities, his humanity, humility, and affability.

The Stravinsky piece evoked humor and, at times, the grotesque. Realism, poetic sensibility, Russian folkloric tradition, unusual timbre, rhythm, and harmony are all characteristic of Stravinsky. Like a sorcerer, Mihail Agafita was in top form as he brought to life the bittersweet story of Petroushka.

Each instrumental group followed the conductor's gestures with maximum attention throughout the entire, musically complex work."

"…Friday night's Botosani Philharmonic concert proved to be a celebration not only from the composition's point of view, but also for the performers and conductor. The experienced baton of Mihail Agafita left its imprint on every musician. The conductor was impressive not only through his artistry in Franz Liszt's Les Preludes, but also in emotionally captivating the performers--and the public, too.

The conductor of the National Philharmonic of the Republic of Moldova, Mihail Agafita performed impeccably, offering a refined performance of the symphonic poem. It was a success, impressive in evoking the atmosphere of a difficult work, and fascinating, through the conductor's clear artistic message…"

"…The performance of the concert version of the Eugen Doga's ballet "Luceafarul" on Monday, January 15 at the National Philhamonic Hall had an astounishing effect on the audience... The Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and the Chapel Choir "Doina" conducted by Mihai Agafita have produced a remarcable concert that can be considered the most important music event of this sunny January."
