BBC National Orchestra of Wales at the BBC Proms / Ravel, Holt, Durufle / Royal Albert Hall, London
“…the BBC NOW under its former Principal Conductor Thierry Fischer…responded with brilliant nervous energy”
The Telegraph, 28 July 2014
“With a dramatic first half and a reflective second, Prom 14 could have easily fallen into disparity. But Fischer and the BBC NOW could bend to whatever the music demanded of them, whether that was jollity, tragedy or tranquility.”Bachtrack, 28 July 2014
“Thierry Fischer and his Welsh forces imbued the music with a lush, gloriously homogenous halo of sound”
“Thierry Fischer and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales’ rapt, luminously beautiful performance of Duruflé’s Requiem gave the Proms a glimpse of heaven that is likely to linger in the memory well beyond the conclusion of the current season”
