Christian Hoerbov-Meier . . . He had an impressionable flair and talent for communication with the orchestra and created a very warm, positive yet still professional and constructive atmosphere with respect and recognition, both for me as a soloist and the orchestra musicians. And the orchestra had a great, living sound and warmth, throughout all four concerts . . . I would happily perform with him again in the future.
