Concert Todd Rundgren, Mathilde Santing & Metropole Orchestra
Dutch press / collection of impressions, atmosphere and moods
INTRODUCTION
So, after four weeks of afterglow this is a collection of impressions, atmosphere and moods from reviews of six Dutch main newspapers and websites. Thanks to the Dutch reviewers for their positive feedback.
VOLKSKRANT / ERIK BORSJE / 2012 11 12
Todds voice was excellent and he made many jokes with the orchestra and the fans / The fun of the orchestra, with highest vocal performance.
NU / TIM OP HET BROEK / 2012 11 12
Rundgren was able to swing and he made jokes / One song gets a standing ovation / The predominantly male audience is enjoying the show in total silence / His work is perfect for orchestra.
NRC HANDELSBLAD / JAN VOLLAARD + ROB ZWITSERLOOD / 2012 11 13
The combination Rundgren-Metropole was well-balanced / A vocal tour de force / To hear Rundgren's music in such beautiful arrangements was a privilege.
THE BLUES ALONE / GIEL VAN DER HOEVEN / 2012 11 13
Mysterious opener / Todds velvet voice / Theatrical and musical-like / Rundgrens passionate and personal achievement / His involvement with the Dutch culture and the Metropole Orchestra / The quasi religious compositions are totally irresistible / A memorable Sunday.
HAARLEMS DAGBLAD / PETER BRUYN / 2012 11 13
He is in an exciting phase of his career / An ambitious follow / Todd is in all respects boyish about / A festive character / A memorable evening.
NRC HANDELSBLAD / JAN KUITENBROUWER + ROB ZWITSERLOOD / 2012 11 15
It was breathtaking and stunning / This capricious genius, with his wide and brilliant oeuvre / At such a night, people become a little bit happier. And we can be a part of this / Can sheer joy and beauty ever be an extravaganza?
This also might be an important stimulant to retain the brilliant Dutch Metropole Orchestra, after August 1, 2013. Without this Orchestra sequels of these kind of impressive concerts will be a beautiful past.
