Press / NPR & Jukka-Pekka Saraste

«Inviting to Moscow world stars of conductorship… the Orchestra both raises its performing level and acquaints Moscow music lovers with the best accomplishments of current symphonic trends».
Sergey Terentiev, «Novye izvestia», 22.03.2006

«Along with James Conlon, John Nelson and Ion Marin, Jukka-Pekka Saraste is another world-class conductor who works with the NPR during this season… The NPR played Stravinsky’s «Fireworks» brilliantly… «The Song of the Nightingale» was a revelation, as well as «Till Eulenspiegel» that permitted the orchestra soloists to manifest their wonderful skills; the first violin’s solo and the winds were enticing».
