The Fairy Queen (Henry Purcell)
Barockfestival Gelsenkirchen
‘The conductor Ivan Anguélov elicits form the Philharmonic Orchestra Gelsenkirchen a remarkable lightness ( as a rule our town city ensemble is not very familiar with this kind of music.)'
Die Welt
‘And the music! Ivan Anguélov at the desk of the Gelsenkirchen Philharmonic Orchestra opened up a baroque masterpiece, which can unfortunately be rarely heard. The conductor has an amazing sovereignty and a lot of tact. He made the orchestra play exceedingly subtle and unobtrusive, noble with a wonderful tone.'
Buersche Zeitung
‘But the music indemnifies for the rigid play. Although the comprehension of baroque music doesn’t allow extreme dramatic and emotionally loaded intensifications, Ivan Anguélov at the desk isn’t mean with polished nuances and elegant instrumental sound: The Gelsenkirchen ensemble makes of her necessity not to be a baroque expert , a virtue: the score of Purcell sounds fresh and modern.’
Westdeutsche Allgemeine
'Ivan Anguélov, for the first time at the desk of the decently playing philharmonics, Philharmoniker, solidly leaded through the ornamental paths of the Purcell score from the year 1692. The big ensemble plays and sings devotedly. A fulminant start in the new opera season.'
