"Quant au baryton Andrei Maksimov, impérieux et inquiétant Mandarin, on peut déjà lui prédire une belle carrière en Don Giovanni et en Macbeth."
"Un peu en opposition et dans ses différents rôles (dont celui de Capitaine et d’inquisiteur), le baryton Andrei Maksimov se fait l’élève réservé du groupe avec discrétion dans les chants d'ensemble, mais pour mieux déployer sa grande capacité dynamique."
"La souple robustesse d’Andreï Maksimov occasionne un Mandarin mieux que probant..."
Andrei Maksimov (baryton) était parfait dans ce rôle de père de famille avide d’honneurs si bien dépeint dans les opéras de Domenico Cimarosa (1748-1801) et du jeune Rossini. Sa voix de basso buffo impressionnait par sa puissante projection et un tempérament comique que je ne m’attendais pas à trouver chez un chanteur coutumier de rôles dramatiques: Oui on est partis, sans la boniche qui pleurniche, dit-il en regardant Cenerentola!
"Andrei Maksimov incarne un Don Magnifico avare et opulent. Sa voix puissante traduit la personnalité de son personnage borné, occupant tout l’espace sur le plan physique et sonore. Le chanteur fait preuve d’une assurance et d’une maturité marquante lorsqu’il descend dans les basses et son interprétation du personnage est d’autant plus impressionnante que le chanteur est jeune."
"Andrei Maksimov capte parfaitement le style néo-médiéval de La chanson d'Orkenise avec une voix de baryton à la projection renversante qu'il arrive à maîtriser quand le texte l'exige. Il sait par exemple user de pianissimos très séducteurs sur les mots Je veux fumer dans Hôtel. Dans un style très différent Sanglots lui donne l'occasion de montrer son tempérament dramatique puissant dans cette magnifique mélodie, concentré du génie du compositeur."
As a musician, Andrei feels very versatile and actively composes. In this field he has already won several composition competitions in St. Petersburg.
In recent years his chamber vocal music has been performed quite frequently in Europe, including by himself.
In April 14. and 15. 2023 his new opera, Barabbas have been premiered by the ensemble of the Swiss Opera Studio in Biel Volkshaus (Switzerland).
