“Pieces like this always remind me of the times I have heard people say that conductors and players don’t make much of a difference to the music. My point is always – have you seen Orchestra Wellington and Marc Taddei perform a symphony? Outstanding.”
“Marc Taddei is a consumate ballet conductor.”
“Taddei interjected humor and some light-hearted infographics, including one of “Star Wars” hero Han Solo…”
“It was consummate and controlled conducting, and clearly Mozart is close to Mr. Taddei’s artistic centre.”
“Marc Taddei and the players delivered it all with a remarkable amalgam of assurance and spontaneity, so that the awe of the music was maintained right up to the point of its dissolution. All were heroes, and we in the audience treated the players and their conductor as such, after we’d recovered from the final onslaught of the music’s implaccable energies.”
