December 22, 2011Two exciting projects in January: First a debut with the SLOVENIAN PHILHARMONIC in an all-American program featuring works by Philip Glass, Paul Schoenfield, as well as Aaron COPLAND's towering "Symphony No. 3". Then I make my fourth return visit to the Opera National de Lorraine to perform DUTILLEUX'S Symphony No. 2 "Le Double" as well as both suites from RAVEL'S "Daphnis et Chloe"!
“This is a name to watch... Schiffman intensified, emphasised and conjured up the images so vividly, that you could reconstruct the storyline of the fairytale even if you had never heard it before.”
- Südkurier, September 23, 2010“The National Orchestra of France produced a magical kaleidoscope of orchestral color under the poised direction of Jonathan Schiffman.”
- Le Monde, February 17, 2006“Schiffman has it all: a beautiful and precise technique, stage presence, and a natural authority, breathing new life into the orchestra - one of cohesion and impressive vitality.”
