“Stravinsky's suite ‘The Firebird’, in the composer's second, newly orchestrated version from 1919, then formed the thrilling conclusion to the concert in a tense, thoroughly convincing performance by the State Philharmonic Orchestra under Rossen Gergov's clear, intense and rhythmically tense baton”

His readings of the Dvořák dances were subtle and dynamic, fuelled by an innate understanding of the music’s folk-infused rhythms and its fizzing, fragrant colours.”
