„One could feel how deeply Dantscher has engaged with the revelations of a highly sensitive artist’s soul in the ‘Pathétique,’ and how intimately he allows this great music to resonate with him.“
Badische Zeitung
„The conductor has the musicians play with absolute determination, vehemence, and sharpness: the powerful string sound and the cutting force of the brass, the dark depths of the five double basses, the force of the percussion, and the orchestra sound that surges like a tide.“
Badische Zeitung
„The Landesjugendorchester NRW has achieved another milestone here. This evening will be remembered longer than any world-famous orchestra that comes with well-known repertoire.“
