“The masterpiece “Siegfrieds Tod” by Fritz Lang in a film-concert version arrived at the Arriaga Antzokia Theater in Bilbao due to the extraordinary performance of the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa orchestra conducted by Nacho de Paz.. […] What unites and exalts in an admirable way the seven songs of this first part is the score by Gottfried Huppertz – whose original creation is preserved today in the German Cinematex – conducted by the excellent Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa by Nacho de Paz , who knew how to interpret it with such extraordinary precision that it has returned in all its own glory an authentic piece of history – not only music and not only cinema – of the 20th century.”
