“Stasevska’s pacing was masterly – a coiled spring of a performance to push the current uncertainties of the music world from our minds.”
“This is a conductor who can elicit the finest nuances with her precise directing, the softest moments often preceding great sweeps of her arms as she gathers in all the musicians while equally precisely bringing out one or another group.”
