I was at the concert he conducted this last January, and the orchestra was crisper and tighter than I had ever heard before, with wonderfully expressive dynamics.  I remarked to my wife that they should get this guy to replace Maestro Tovey because the orchestra played so well with him, so I am thrilled about this decision.

Maestro Tovey is a fantastic communicator and has been good for the orchestra, but I think Maestro Tausk will lift the orchestra to a new level.  The January concert was wonderful and made me realize how good the VSO could be.
