Anu Tali appears regularly with orchestras worldwide including the Japan and Tokyo Philharmonic orchestras, Orchestre National de France, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, New Jersey, Vancouver, Houston, Milwaukee, Gothenburg and Swedish Radio symphony orchestras. In Germany she worked with Deutsches Symphonieorchester Berlin, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Berliner Konzerthausorchester, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Ensemble Modern.

Tali’s debut recording, Swan Flight, (Finlandia/​Warner Classics) earned her the 2003 ECHO Klassik ​‘Young Artist of the Year’ Award. Other recordings include Action Passion Illusion for Warner Classics featuring works by Rachmaninov, Sibelius and Erkki-Sven Tüür. Her most recent CD, featuring Tüür’s Strata and Noēsis, was released on ECM in January 2011 and met with significant critical acclaim. 

“Tali and the 27-year-old Czech pianist, Lukáš Vondráček, collaborated on a brilliant reading of Rachmaninoff’s ​“Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini,” bringing out inner voices and colors that made this work seem reborn. There were ripples of humor, stretches of passion and intense musicality that delineated the kind of music-making generally relegated to the best of chamber performances.”

(Herald-Tribune (Sarasota), November 2013)

“They were led by the brilliant young Estonian conductor Anu Tali […] Ms. Tali conducted grippingly.”

(The New York Times, March 2011)

“The performances are outstanding: Anu Tali already has a very high reputation, and this beautifully recorded and produced disc is without doubt another jewel in her crown.”

(Ivan Moody, International Record Review, January 2011)
