Standing Ovations
On the 15th and 16th of March 2018, Claus Efland returned to Denmark to conduct the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra. He performed 2 concerts each featuring the Second Symphony by Johan Svendsen, Schumann Piano Concerto (soloist: Zlata Chochieva) and Weber's Overture Der Freischütz. Both concerts received standing ovations and the newspaper Aarhus Stiftstidende, referring to the whole concert programme, wrote:
"The performance went from a quiet intense beginning to an overwhelming drama with a glorious ending, superbly controlled by Efland's excellent musicianship".
