“ ALBER is a hit with CBSO. The CBSO had clearly struck gold with their last-minute German substitute.”
Birmingham Post
“ JONAS ALBER shows his skill in allowing Schreker’s orchestral opulence to sound transparent and elastic, without sacrificing its musical colouring. A great triumph for the Frankfurt Opera.”
Berliner Tagesspiegel
“ JONAS ALBER is an unparalleled magician of sound who knows how to use with great authority contrasts to effect.”
Braunschweiger Zeitung
“ The fact that an orchestra like the WDR Symphony Orchestra, used to the crème de la crème, should feel so inspired and motivated to follow the intentions of this conductor is further proof of his qualities.”
Aachener Zeitung
“ It has been a long time since we last heard the Museum Orchestra play with such transparency and expression as when conducted by JONAS ALBER.”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“ This is how it should be and this is how it should sound. To get this kind of feelings at a world premiere is very rare.”
National Swedish Radio
“ Beethoven’s Pastoral caused a sensation. The picturesque scenes of this ingenious work were conjured up by Jonas Alber with an incomparable freshness. A maturity that seems unimaginable for such a young conductor.”
Helmstedter Zeitung
