Yuja Wang speelt Ligeti

over Yuja Wang

De Volkskrant

Als Yuja Wang al niet de meest virtuoze pianist op aarde is, dan is ze met afstand het spraakmakendst. 

Yannick Nézet-Séguin: Siegfried

Magic’ (de Volkskrant), ‘mythical’ (Trouw), ‘a triumph’ (NRC): the concert version of the opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen with conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin can only be described in superlatives. The next stage: Siegfried.

on Die Walküre

Trouw

What stood out most during the five hours of this glorious evening—aside from the world-class singers—was undoubtedly the electrifying chemistry between the orchestra musicians and their honorary conductor, Yannick.

Eredirigent van het Rotterdams Philharmonisch Okrest

Yannick Nézet-Séguin

The spirit of Rotterdam and the orchestra has always been forward thinking and very welcoming to young conductors, of which I have benefitted myself. ICCR is really encouraging and nurturing conducting talents in the best possible way.

Hans Wisse (contrabassoon) about this series "Shostakovich's Seventh is my favorite concerto of course. For contrabassoonists, Shostakovich's symphonies are always a pleasure to play. He uses the contrabassoon, with its deep and resonant tone, to give shape to his preference for dark, somber and threatening timbres. In his music, the contrabassoon is not only intended for bass foundations, but also to evoke a sinister or melancholic atmosphere. This is especially clear to hear in this Seventh."
