Carme Miró (Sonograma) – Kodály: Psalmus Hungaricus (2011 – Savonlinna Opera Festival)
http://sonograma.org/croniques-de-concerts/hungarian-evening-savonlinna/
"Balázs Kocsár construí una excellent edifici harmònic d'una textura instrumental evocadora que va culminar en una vibrant exposició del llenguatge singular de Zoltan Kodaly."
/Translation: Balázs Kocsár constructed an excellent harmony from an instrumental texture that is a vibrant exhibition of Kodály's unique musical language./

Michael Roddy (Bachtrack) – Best of Ring (2018 – Budapest, Erkel Theatre)
https://bachtrack.com/review-wagner-ring-kocsar-hungarian-state-opera-budapest-june-2018
"The State Opera offered a "Best of Ring" highlights concert at the Erkel featuring stars of the Hungarian State Opera with the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra under the baton of Balázs Kocsár. No such 'Wagner-lite' programme is going to satisfy committed Wagnerites, but what this one lacked in props, costumes, stage action and overall drama, was balanced out with a thoughtful selection of highlights that went well beyond the usual orchestral greatest hits."
Jack Angstreich (FilmFestivalTraveler) – Erkel: Bánk Bán (2018 – David H. Koch Theater, New York)
"Also superlative were the fabulous musicians and singers of the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra and Chorus under the sterling direction of conductor Balázs Kocsár."
Jack Angstreich (FilmFestivalTraveler) – Gala (2018 – Carnegie Hall, New York)
The marvelous American debut tour of the superb Hungarian State Opera continued with a memorable orchestral concert at Carnegie Hall on the evening of Monday, November 5th.
Edvard Saga-Segal (Bachtrack) – Erkel: Bánk Bán (2018 – David H. Koch Theater, New York)
https://bachtrack.com/review-erkel-bank-ban-hungarian-state-opera-koch-theater-new-york-october-2018
"The music, rendered by an experienced pit ensemble and a consistently solid group of singers under the baton of Musical Director Balász Kocsár, was remarkably captivating."
Paul J. Pelkonen (Super-Conductor) – Erkel: Bánk Bán (2018 – David H. Koch Theater, New York)
https://super-conductor.blogspot.com/2018/11/opera-review-country-over-party.html
"The saving grace throughout was Erkel's bold and inventive score, conducted lovingly by Balázs Kocsár in the pit. This performance showed that in opera, music remains powerful language of all."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/04/arts/music/hungarian-state-opera-national-ballet.html
". . the performance on this night, conducted by Balazs Kocsar, lacked energy and focus. The orchestra, under Mr. Kocsar, played Bartok's dark, weighty and seething score as if they owned the piece."
