Reviews – Kahchun Wong conducts Bruckner 9
★★★★★
Geoff Brown“The sound throughout was magnificent, as Wong's control of those Bruckner peculiarities - the slow progression, the structural cul-de-sacs - that require conductors, orchestras and listeners to show sympathy and patience. Wong especially impressed in the scherzo, weighting down the thrusting chords in the music's diabolical dances.”
★★★★★
Robert Beale“The symphony – undoubtedly Bruckner’s valedictory opus and arguably his greatest – thus forms a concert on its own. That alone made this evening an event to remember, but its interpretation, conducted entirely from memory, also provided an intensely illuminating experience of Wong’s approach and skills as a musician.”
