“The Finnish Conducting Wonder Tarmo Peltokoski in Berlin” (Tagesspiegel)

TARMO PELTOKOSKI captivated Berlin and earned a stellar review in the TAGESSPIEGEL with a program of Saariaho, Prokofiev, and Sibelius with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at Philharmonie Berlin.

“On the podium of the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester, he seems to grow into a giant, captivating with body language that is meticulously adapted to the music, which can both release the orchestra in the most gentle rhythm and encourage it to expressive brilliance with sweeping gestures.”

“The dance-like elegance, melodic longing, drama, and triumph presented here by the conductor and orchestra elicit rapturous applause.”
