CONDUCTOR
Concert with the
Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich
Jaehyuck Choi conducts the 1st movement of Robert Schumann’s Symphony No.1.
Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich’s Conductors Academy with Maestro Paavo Jarvi.
“Der koreanische Dirigent und bereits bekannte Komponist Jaehyuck Choi leitete mit ausgefeilter Dynamik den ersten Satz, ein junger Mann, der genaue Klangvorstellungen hat und diese präzise umsetzen kann. Das war dosiert stürmisch, jugendlich frisch, mit schön herausgehörten Soli (Flöte!).”
“The Korean conductor and already well-known composer Jaehyuck Choi led the first movement with sophisticated dynamics, a young man who has precise sound ideas and can implement them precisely. It was measured and stormy, youthfully fresh, with beautifully heard solos (flute!).”
- Der Opernfreund, Kaspar Sannemann
