Online Merker (23 September 2024):
“It naturally also requires […] a conductor with an assured command of the style—and in Ingmar Beck, that is precisely who stood at the podium. He sustained the broad dramatic arcs, maintained the balance both within the pit and between pit and stage, and above all attended to the music’s breath and elegance. An almost perfect musical interpretation!”
