John Storgårds conducted SFS last week for the first time, and his work was a wow. If the orchestra hadn't already engaged Jaap van Zweden to lead an unnecessary full cycle of the Beethoven symphonies, I'd suggest they hire this guy.

- Joshua Kosman, On a Pacific Aisle
- Harvey Steiman, Seen & Heard International
- Charlise Tiee, Opera Tattler
- Stephen Smoliar, The Rehearsal Studio
During the Beethoven, I kept thinking "Gosh, the last time I heard this the conducting wasn't nearly as good. Who was it?" The answer turned out to be....Jaap van Zweden. Joshua Kosman liked that performance more than I did.
