PRESS TESTIMONIALS

“La direction, enfin, était d’une qualité remarquable : Eric Hull, un canadien qui fait une superbe carrière en Europe et particulièrement en Italie et en Allemagne, était d’une précision, d’une délicatesse, d’un “doigté” vraiment sensationnels. Il allège la partition de Verdi, lui donne un relief très particulier, tout en finesse, et mettant admirablement tous les solistes en valeur. Ses finales sont, parfois, totalement magiques. : écoutées dans un silence religieux par 2200 spectateurs qui retenaient leur souffle, elles avaient quelque chose de rare ! “

“The conducting, finally, was of remarkable quality: Eric Hull, a Canadian enjoying a superb career in Europe—particularly in Italy and Germany—displayed precision, delicacy, and truly sensational finesse. He lightens Verdi’s score, giving it a very distinctive relief, full of subtlety, while admirably showcasing all the soloists. His finales are, at times, utterly magical: listened to in a reverent silence by 2,200 spectators holding their breath, they possessed something truly rare.”
