Alessandro will make his South African debut conducting the Johannesburg Philharmonic and the Kwazulu Natal Philharmonic in October and November. He will give a long series of concerts, giving performances in Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria.
"the sections are homogeneous, the sound of the violins is brilliant; balance and spontaneity do credit to the orchestra and to its conductor, Alessandro Crudele, who inspires a joyful freshness, with a sober and flowing gesture. In the Poulenc, the orchestra finds the right cheerful note of a vibrancy that is never sharp, and fluid, nocturnal sweetness in the cold glimmer of the Adagio."
Crudele makes his debut with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra in the Philharmonie on Sunday 27th September. He will conduct the Europe Premiere of Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Piano Concerto No.2 in a programme also featuring Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5
Alessandro Crudele traveled to Israel last month to conduct the Israel Symphony Orchestra in what was its final concert of the season. Held in Herzilya's Center of Performing Arts. Crudele received rapturous applause for his performance of Mussorsky, Chopin and Mussorsky/Ravel.
