He has an uncanny ability to delve into the innate spirituality of a piece, all with a charismatic and humorous, yet focused, rehearsal etiquette. Not to mention his impeccable baton technique.

This person is not well-known internationally. His conducting works don't seem to translate well enough as other conductors. I mean I don't feel deeply as much as I would have been able to feel in other ones conducting for same music notes. Quite Over-rated one.

This conductor is one of the best conductors. His gestures are very energetic and unique during conducting. And his doing that tells his very delicate translations of composers. He should be next to herber karajan.

Very accomplished conductor who produces maximum effect with minimum effort. The Tonhalle seemed to improve during his tenure.
