Dresden Philharmonic

10th May  2003

 

 

..."The young Argentinean Andrés Tolcachir stood at the podium in front of the 70 musicians of the Dresden Philharmonic to devote himself especially to his great fellow-countryman in Tango matters: Astor Piazzolla. And he did it with the same devotion as the orchestra played (…) Highest intensity up to the last tone of “Milonga del Angel”, pure joy of life in “Tangazo”. (…)

Alberto Ginastera’s “Estancia” put a counterpoint and remained the enthusiastic public that Argentina has musically much more to offer than Tango. (…) The poetic ballet-suite, with its percussive colours, became a sensorial pleasure. (…) Dynamic and full of temperament, collide the rhythms one to the other.    Yes, in the Schlachthof the Philharmonic played “different”, and again as we  have known them.”

The young Argentine conductor performed with the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra 

Dresden-.

"... Andrés Tolcachir (1970) made his debut with the prestigious Dresden Philharmonic, showing in front of an enthusiastic public of almost thousand people his excellent dowries of conductor (peculiarly left-handed), his capacity for a clear and precise beating, and a very good scenic presence that, surely, works as one of his main advantages at the time of rising the podium."

The rehearsals were very well planned, you managed to set a perfectly structured rehearsal schedule which eliminated any kind of stress from the beginning onwards. There was enough time for everything and the concert sounded indeed "very well rehearsed".

Your noble appearance on stage was convincing and could communicate the trust that the orchestra had put in you as a person and you as a conductor.

I followed closely your interaction with the fabulous soloist, the cellist Boris Andrianov, who - as one could see - was very well taken care of by you. There was never an unnecessary tension or gap between soloist and orchestra due to your well defined and anticipating way of conducting.

Good debut of Andrés Tolcachir

When artists like you and Boris Andrianov appear in a series such as this one, you help us build up further reputation and finally, it makes very much sense to keep this series running.
