5 cities, 3 countries, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4 and Toccata for orchestra by Marko Nikodijević.
Critics on the last musicAeterna tour:
Rémy Louis. Diapason (France)
— It was a miracle that we chanced to hear such a performance. Those who heard it for the first time on Saturday could never forget it. A triumph, a standing ovation, Currentzis recalled the soloists of the orchestra, and they took a call at the conductor's stand. Phenomenal!
Levon Hakobyan. Музыкальная жизнь (Russia)
— Currentzis becomes a truly exemplary interpreter for the bizarre world of the Symphony No. 4. The conductor seizes a chance to demonstrate the interpretative maximalism provided by the score (...) At the same time, the conductor strictly controls the sound aesthetics and the integrity of the ensemble even at the most powerful tutti and most sophisticated passages.
Ulrich Amling. Tagesspiegel (Germany)
— The ensemble arouses both admiration and excitement with their performance: with all the tension and power of the sound, they pause just before the climax... and then leave a ghostly trail of chiming bells.
Ilya Ovchinnikov. Коммерсантъ (Russia)
— Сurrentzis unfolded a Shakespearean drama in front of the audience, with the characters speaking in filigree orchestral solos.
Andreas Schmidt. Klassik begeistert (Germnany)
— The orchestra has shown a wide range of marks, from the quiet pianissimo to the thundering fortissimo. It is particularly evident in the first movement, opening with violins and violas. The orchestra is imbued with absolute precision, dedication and sound culture. The musicians played just stunningly, even in the rhythmically challenging moments.
