Stefan Solyom, conductor

'Some of the sizable crowd that turned out for his debut were gasping at the end of a scorching - and baton-shattering - performance of Sibelius' Second Symphony, through which the Swede swept like a tornado... everything he does is motivated by a fierce and impassioned commitment to the music in hand.’

'It was Solyom's night, as he conjured his brand of magic in a spellbinding account of Sibelius' En Saga, and a meticulously structured and thought-provoking interpretation of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony.’
