“From the moment that the ebullient Marc Taddei took up his baton to conduct Orchestra Wellington, the magical music of Adolphe Adam transported us to another world. It was lovely to have the orchestra live and playing for the ballet.”
“Marc Taddei conducted Orchestra Wellington, also giving the performance a new energy, performing the full-length score by Adolphe Adam.”
“It was great to see Marc Taddei back with the orchestra of which he was musical director for so many memorable years.”
“…Festmusik der Stadt Wien – an explosive piece showcasing Strauss’s favouritism to brass, which Taddei highlights wonderfully.”
“Metamorphosen is a complex work for 23 solo strings; dense and chromatic, making huge demands on the players and, conducting from memory, Marc Taddei drew from his players a performance of tremendous conviction…. this was Strauss from the top drawer.”
