In frame of their festival concerts at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad the Orchestra dell´Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under the baton of its chief conductor Sir Antonio Pappano and the soloists Diana Damrau and Evgeny Kissin were celebrated enthusiastically. Recently Klassik.com wrote: „The world-class roman orchestra with the tuneful name brightly polished the Dvorak under the baton of Pappano. So mellow and so cantabile will probably sound the wind section´s motifs in the “Largo” otherwise only by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.“
In January 2018 the orchestra and Sir Antonio Pappano are going to tour together with the world class violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter again in Germany.
