“Marc Taddei and his Wellington players have become a great success story in a short time. Taddei’s programming is imaginative, his demeanour infectious and his skill has seen a distinct increase in playing standards. And together they draw full houses, this concert being no exception…”
There is no doubt about it, the Wellington Orchestra under Marc Taddei is definitely gathering a following, and the large audience for this concert was further evidence of the fact.
“Fortune is at last smiling on Wellington’s Orchestra. First, there’s the happy appointment of Marc Taddei as music director, whose instinct for attractive and rewarding programming is combined with a ready skill in communicating with an audience and sound conducting talents.”
“There is no denying that Marc Taddei is a communicator, and he certainly has a real feel for programming.
Because he happens to be a highly skilled musician as well, he backs his ideas with performances of real quality, and, under his baton the Vector Wellington Orchestra has developed into an orchestra of considerable polish. So it was no surprise to find a full hall for this enterprising concert, and no-one present would have been disappointed.
The concert ended triumphantly … marshalled with great understanding and skill by Taddei.”
“…a concert that … showed conductor Marc Taddei’s great success in programming, performance vitality and audience communication…”
