“With the Pathétique […] he [Currentzis] digs deeper into Tchaikovsky’s soul than any conductor before him.”
“It is simply unbelievable how many dark tone colours the orchestra possesses in the deep, how finely the individual sound layers are graded […]”

“a memorable performance”
“Teodor Currentzis […] leads with the Tonhalle-Orchester through a sound scape that
does not spare any extremes”

It was a “unique interpretation” with “uncomparable energy. It is […] softly modelled and yet brutally precise”
Currentzis “forms the emotions in the finest musical shades, as it has possibly never been heard before: sentiment, not sentimentality, realness, not kitsch: that is his approach. And this automatically opens up the ambivalences of the piece – breathtakingly transformed by his orchestra in a thousand sound colours.”
