Achieving much with little means
Klaus Billand, https://conductorvedernikov.com/ru/press-ru/billand-ru
"The true revelation, however, came from the Odense Symphony Orchestra, from whom the initiative for this Ring, under the profound and impetuous musical leadership of chief conductor Alexander Vedernikov, came in 2015 with concert performances. The orchestra had 90 musicians seated in the very wide pit of the Odeon making music on a worldwide festival level. A powerful, plastic sound with always great transparency moved the audience to an enthusiastic applause before the 3rd act of The Valkyrie and even to lasting ovations for Maestro Vedernikov and the orchestra before the opening of Götterdämmerung. It started with an exciting and fast-paced prelude to Rheingold and went on with hymnically-sounding Wagner tubas for Walhalla. Last but by far not least, the brass resplended with perfect Siegfried horn calls, without outshining the great quality of other instrumental groups. Again and again Vedernikov achieved with his well-rehearsed ensemble intense tension on stage. The fact that the chief conductor, who has worked here since 2009, is leaving the Symphony Orchestra with this Götterdämmerung for good, causes great sorrow in Odense.

"For the duration of the opera – around 15 hours – I created content for video projections illuminating the walls on the stage. Most content changed over time, sometimes slow and other times fast. Together with the lighting design, the video projections created much of the visual atmosphere related to the progression of the epic drama." Arthur Steijn.

"Спасибо Тасмин Литтл и Александру Ведерникову за два блестящих концерта Чайковского и потрясающий концерт для скрипки с оркестром Глазунова на этой неделе..." CBSO

"В конце этого дневного концерта я был в полном восторге. Чайковский был просто невероятен, как и Концерт для скрипки с Глазуновым, с которым я не был знаком. Было приятно услышать интервью Александра Ведерникова на чаепитии после концерта". David Howitt
