“Taddei’s opening performance as director of the Vallejo Symphony accomplished what he had hoped, delighting his audience with illustrious compositions executed by gifted and well practiced musicians. It left this listener eager to return, to hear the second part of this season’s themed program.”
“Marc Taddei conducts in a most artistic and masterful fashion, and the Vector Wellington Orchestra respond brilliantly…”
“Taddei has absolutely outdone himself with the final piece of the evening: Act II of the Nutcracker ballet. It was poignant and explosive; a true perfection of the inspiring pieces. I have never heard a more dynamic performance, and I think the whole audience would agree as the applause went for so long Taddei motioned for us to stop! He jokes at the end that the 17th season next year will be at least 500 times this performance… well, count me in.”
“…a magnificent job.”
