“With a stellar performance by the Staatsorchester Darmstadt under the direction of General Music Director Daniel Cohen, Berg’s intricate music sounds so light that its structure dances before the eyes. ”

“ ... like the Shakespearean woodland, that enchanting place where the action [of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream] takes place, the orchestra has managed to wrap the stage in a supernatural atmosphere, well dosing the chromatic palette of its various sections, and gesturing with ease the different sound features present in the score without ever overwhelming the voices, with which it maintains instead a continuous dialogue.”

“[Cohen’s] attention to each instrumental section, especially the crucial woodwinds, was immaculate, and the players responded to his cajoling splendidly.”
— [Lucia di Lammermoor at the Deutsche Oper Berlin] Ako Imamura, October 2015, BACHTRACK
