He then travelled to the ex-USSR where he studied piano with Alexander SNEGIRIOV and Sergei DORENSKY and conducting with Roman KOFMAN and Gennady ROZHDESTVENSKY at the Kiev and Moscow ‘Tchaikowsky’ State Conservatories.

...very well equipped, both technically and emotionally... (The Daily Telegraph, UK)

...a pianist in the grand manner...daringly unfamiliar interpretative forays kept always within the limits of good taste.... (The Times, Malta)
...aristocratic, vibrant, elegant gestures, clearly designing the music, without dryness or heaviness... (Lyon Figaro, France)
As soon as the curtain rises we are sure of success with Brian Schembri’s clear and secure conducting. (Opera International)
...conducting...a strong, generous and broad vision, as lyrical as one could imagine, without excess...a completely convincing and magnificent sound. (Paris Normandie, France)
Everything sounds as if it has been meticulously prepared, but the control is never paralysing and the final impression is of focused vitality....he infused the interpretation with unbelievable warmth. (The Sunday Times, Malta)
Brian Schembri with his nervous baton, his guiding gestures full of complicity and warmth, deserves a general bravo all for himself...” (La Tribune Le Progres, France)
The reading was intelligent, musical and it did justice to this masterpiece (Shostakovich Symphony nr 14)...it was a great interpretation...a great symphonic concert...clearly the best concert of the season and the best event of all the Portuguese lyrical season.
