Rave reviews have been pouring in from media outlets praising James Gaffigan’s conducting of Mahler Symphony No. 2 with Les Arts, Valencia
Culturplaza: “James Gaffigan exhibits surprising maturity for his age, an ability to convey what he wants… a great maestro. It is incomprehensible how, with less than one week of rehearsals, such a personal vision for an extremely complex work can be communicated to the singers, choir, and the great orchestra that claims this score.”
“The New Yorker shows absolute confidence in the immense possibilities of his musicians and in a choir brought to the limit of its physical possibilities.”
“An absolute success on an unforgettable evening, with an audience that praised each of the participants individually and as a whole.”
Codalario.com: “Gaffigan managed to emphasize the simplicity of the music while simultaneously highlighting the variations.”
“You could say his direction was exactly as Mahler had instructed: measured and never rushed. It was truly a beautiful movement.”
“James Gaffigan is, without a doubt, deserving of all the confidence for the excellent preparation of the Orquesta de la Comunitat Valenciana and its choir.”
