“Taddei drew fine playing for his stylish and arresting performance of the Beethoven [Fifth Symphony].
The performance [of John Adam’s On the Transmigration of Souls] was deeply moving and beautifully organised.”
“Under Marc Taddei’s direction the orchestral sounds blazed forth, all departments covering themselves with glory.”
“Once again the importance of the Vector Wellington Orchestra under Marc Taddei was underlined in a concert of balance and imagination. Considering the atrocious weather, there was an amazingly large audience on Saturday, and their enthusiasm was matched by performances of stature and vitality.
Taddei gave us a programming masterstroke.”
“I thought this was, through-and-through, a magnificent performance.”
“After the interval it found both orchestra and conductor totally ready for a performance that exuded huge confidence, familiarity (Taddei had no score before him) and where it mattered, a fine sense of heroism, folklorish colour and abandonment.”
