When Markus Stenz stepped up to the podium to conduct Beethoven’s
classic “Eroica” with the BSO in 2012, he took some by surprise.
Tim Smith, music critic for The Baltimore Sun, says Stenz “made a
thrice-familiar score newly gripping.” Smith also described the players’
“edge-of-their-seats look” under Stenz’s baton, noticing that the
conductor “clearly bonded with the BSO.”
