“Undoubtedly, having a figure like Nacho de Paz at the head of this complex project helps, and a lot, to bring it to fruition. Only someone with such deep analytical knowledge and so passionate about contemporary music can extract, so brilliantly, the essences of a complex score in a lively way far beyond from the notated pentagrams. The conductor, composer, pianist and musicologist from Oviedo is a paragon of scenic intelligence, and his gesture –halfway between pragmatism and plasticity– is absolutely concise, effective and expressive.”
“The National Orchestra of Spain sounds superb under the flexible command, clear and precise conducting of Nacho de Paz, always a warranty of deepness of study and analysis of contemporary repertoire.”
“Conducting Ensemble Modern from the pit, Nacho de Paz produced a sound canvas in which the secondary voices and the richness of the details of Weill’s music were always heard with clarity and in counterpoint with a captivating and astonishing melodic line.”
“Nacho de Paz, conductor and excellent leader of music ensembles of high level, shines from his intellect and his gesture. He sets in order the sound ideas, organizes the sound layers along the whole sound-space and guides with supreme agility the sound-net towards unity, emotion and intelligence. With no doubts, an intelligent conductor, of shining pragmatism and gifted with the passion for sound and beauty.”
“De Paz guided us through the bowels of Metropolis as if he were its architect, moving in the light of the click-track like a sorcerer or a bacchante, practicing magic, making us forget that the city came to life and was extinguished under his command during those beautiful moments. The clamor was inevitable. What an orchestra. What a show. And what a huge conductor.”
“Leading the Münchener Kammerorchester, Nacho de Paz adds to technical perfection an extra degree of intensity that has become his hallmark, marked by rhythmic precision and a conducting gesture that at times becomes almost pictorial. His career reaches new audiences and the finest European ensembles year after year, showcasing the qualities that make him one of our most versatile and compelling conductors.”
