She is so very talented! We are very lucky to have here with us in Atlanta !
Letting people in 30+ minutes after the start of the symphony was not good ,letting people back in after leaving was unexpected and happened 2x the seating is tight an required standing up and setting down repeatedly not what I expected for my $175
My daughter invited me to this performance to brighten my day and it did much more than that. The music, the singing, there is just so much to love!
First time at Atlanta Symphony Hall & it did not disappoint. Our seats were in Orch Right in the 6th row so we had good quality of sound & were able to really see most of the musicians. Especially the piano during the first half of Mozart. We will definitely be back!
Beautifully conducted and performed! Great evening with the ASO!
Nathalie was a skillful, graceful and dynamic leader.
Overall this was a fine experience. I am of the opinion that the Bruckner Te Deum should not follow the 9th. The 9th is a very spiritual work and more than any other Bruckner symphony reflects Bruckner's sometimes violent relationship with God. The coda is, in my opinion, a resolution of this relationship - God and Bruckner are finally at peace with one another. Stuzman did a marvelous job with the violent portions of the symphony. She let the orchestra play to its fullest. There were some inconsistencies in the violins - the fast notes were often inaccurate - but the brass were superb - as they needed to be. I haven't heard the orchestra for many years during my absence from Atlanta so I didn't know what to expect. I was not disappointed, except for the coda in the third movement. With a few year's experience and some musical maturity, I think Stutzman will be a fine Bruckner conductor.
Nathalie Stutzmann is an absolutely amazing conductor and it is just as amazing to watch her as it is to listen to the music she elicits from the ASU - which is a top-notch orchestra. The piano soloist was amazing, and Ravel’s Boleto was the cherry on the top of a wonderful experience.
My first trip to the Atlanta Symphony in several years. Bolero on the program got me there, but the other three works reminded me that the symphony doesn't have to play only recognizable pieces to be enjoyed. The piano soloist was spectacular. This was the first time I had seen and heard Ravel's Bolero performed live. That performance was beyond words and one I will always treasure. Nathalie Stutzmann does amazing work, both as a conductor and music director, choosing and conducting a wonderful assortment of pieces. And one last thing - please do Bolero again within the next few years. It is a piece that must be appreciated live. It is one of the few that a recording, regardless of how well it is done, cannot do it justice.
