“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.”
Orchestra Wellington closed its 2017 season with Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Conducted by Marc Taddei the Orchestra offered up a dramatic performance that pleased the crowd. Peter Mechen was at the Michael Fowler Centre on the weekend. He discusses if this was the perfect way to end the year.
