Director,
Director of the Royal Danish Opera

John Fullgames

Alexander was the finest of colleagues and collaborators. An inspiring conductor on the podium but also such a wonderful human being off it. Here in Denmark, we will always remember his authority in such a broad repertoire, his warmth and the twinkle in his eye when one talked with him. It was a particular pleasure to travel with him to Moscow for concerts with Det Kongelige Kapel in 2018. He is remembered here with much warmth and affection.

"He was a popular conductor here and enriched us with exceptional musical leadership in a wide repertoire from Verdi and Wagner to Shostakovich and John Adams".
