The Herald : “Romeo & Juliet lasts 95 minutes. There’s nothing like it in the repertoire: Berlioz was a true visionary, with no antecedent and no followers. He asks for 250 performers, including 3 choirs, and his orchestration is ample and innovative. His aural imagination is limitless and the intensity of his expression has no rivals in French music. Agudin got a notable performance out of a concentrated National Symphony, with close respect for every indication in the score. Contained, clean and precise.” P.Bardin, The Herald. July 2016
