Eine besondere und interessante Werkauswahl erwartete mich an diesem Abend in der Laeiszhalle. Mit der 1.

Oramo condujo de forma vibrante, extrayendo de cada atril precisión y concentración, que se tradujeron en interlocución sublime con la voz desgranada por Luganski. Merece ser resaltado el asombroso dominio del cambio de compás, incesante y libre de devaneos o incertidumbres en los engarces.
