REVIEWS

"Szulc, who is also a first-class violinist, has one of the best baton techniques amongst today’s young conductors.” (Stuttgarter Zeitung, January 2012)

"Mussorgsky, Poulenc and Rachmaninov turned out to be a delightful combination for the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and energetic guest conductor, Radoslaw Szulc, who is making his mark in the conducting world...The rich dissonances of the opening phrases on the organ were nicely answered by lush strings, and this conversation continued through a range of emotions and volumes, never losing the tension and under-lying excitement, all masterfully managed by maestro Szulc."  (The Australian Stage, June 2010)

“Szulc and his musicians held nothing back in this final movement. But we had been well primed for it all from the start; in that great sprawling first movement, the conductor took pains to lay out Tchaikovsky's inner demons and torments through the shifting musical structure.” (NZ Herald, June 2009)
