Alan Gilbert
The Real Thing. A deeply musical conductor.
The New York Times
A keenly intelligent conductor with a clear, magisterial beat
The New Yorker
The Royal Swedish Orchestra plays masterfully under Alan Gilbert’s direction and with great precision and lyrical nerve gives evidence of a magnificent dynamic range.
Svenska Dagbladet
He lets the orchestra sometimes blossom in sound, sometimes vanish into nothingness, and then explode again at a volume for which even the term ‘forte-fortissimo’ is far too weak.
