    • …sous la baguette inventive et complice de Gergely Madaras, la parade fut parfaite. Un concert d’ouverture de saison est toujours un événement pour un orchestre puisqu’il offre aux musiciens l’occasion de retrouver leur public, mais celui de la saison 2023-2024 restera particulièrement dans les mémoires pour son excellence et sa dimension jubilatoire... et au chef hongrois de rappeler comme il est un conteur extraordinaire, capable de montrer dans chaque thème la perspective d’aventures nouvelles… Dans le premier mouvement, Madaras emmène le public dans une belle construction du récit, tandis que le deuxième lui permet, en étroite symbiose avec ses musiciens, d’affirmer son sens de la danse et sa maîtrise de la polyphonie. …under the inventive and complicit baton of Gergely Madaras, the parade was perfect. A season-opening concert is always an event for an orchestra, as it gives the musicians a chance to reunite with their audience, but the one for the 2023-2024 season will be particularly remembered for its excellence and its jubilant dimension... and for the Hungarian conductor to recall what an extraordinary storyteller he is, capable of showing in each theme the prospect of new adventures... In the first movement, Madaras takes the audience through a beautifully constructed narrative, while the second allows him, in close symbiosis with his musicians, to assert his sense of dance and his mastery of polyphony.
