“Unquestionably the best performance of a large choral/orchestral work by the orchestra in a very long time. Fischer is a remarkable exponent of the French composer’s music. He was in charge of the score from the opening measures. He knew exactly what he wanted and he elicited a superbly crafted reading from his forces that was powerful and emotionally charged.  Under Fischer’s tenure the Utah Symphony has steadily improved in artistic integrity. And Friday it once again showed it is an orchestra to be reckoned with. Its playing was articulate and well executed and filled with nuance and finely molded phrasings. This was close to being a flawless performance from the ensemble.”
