"At the heart of a scintillating first night was the conducting of Jacek Kaspszyk, an exemplary exercise in Rossinian style, flexibly and precisely paced and phrased with a subtle roguishness to which ENO's orchestra responded with sparkling style. "

"Saturday evening's guest conductor of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Jacek Kaspszyk, did nothing to diminish the spectacular impression he made last season when he made his conducting debut with this Orchestra. He is a conductor of great style and intensity, who brings a full emotional commitment to the work in hand."

"A particular quality of this conductor being passion he brought out all the romantic lusciousness of the music but also, through clarity and balance, delineated its sinewy shaping. Drama and contrast came with the Symphony No. 7 (Prokofiev) in a beautifully moulded interpretation that was, from the majestic opening with its marvellous soaring melody to the assured finale, full of subtle colour and musical perception."

"Conducting from memory Kaspszyk treated us to a very fine performance of Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony. I much admired the way in which he achieved the thrust and intensity the music must have without excess romantic urgency. Indeed, the lyricism was beautifully handled. Innumerable recalls for the conductor brought an unexpected encore, the Polonaise from 'Eugene Onegin', played with great panache."
