Franz-Paul Decker, Conductor
“Though this orchestra, particularly at the hands of Marc Taddei, has given us a lot of very great performances in recent years, this concert, all of it, sounded to me like the most compelling, ultimate coming-of-age for Orchestra Wellington.”
— Lindis Taylor, Middle C
Deborah Humble, mezzo soprano soloist for Wagner’s Wesendonck lieder
“I was so convinced by what seemed like his total identification with the music…”
“The work received magnificent playing from the orchestra…”
“Taddei nailed the work by catching its essence with superb tempos, scrupulous balances and a dynamic grasp of each of the three movements.”
“the music’s essential lyricism, geniality and good humour readily came to the fore under Taddei’s direction.”
