Jun MÄRKL, Paul HUANG & NSO
"Lush Playing."——San Francisco Classical Voice, 2018
"… vor allem bei Schostakowitsch' Symphonie Nr. 5 d-moll war das Ergebnis mitreißend: Es geriet eine Orchestermaschine ins Arbeiten, mit fliegenden Bögenund wuchtigem Wollen, deren Produkt auf (fast) ganzer Linie überzeugen konnte. Da brauchtes kein gut gemeintes westliches Wohlwollen: Das Orchester hat seinen Platz im Konzerthaus wohl verdient."——Kurier, 2017
When Scotland is mentioned, what comes to mind? Castles, highlands, whiskey, bagpipes? Let's enjoy the depictions of Scotland from NSO led by Music Director Jun MÄRKL and world-famous Taiwanese violinist Paul HUANG, presenting DEBUSSY's beautiful Marche écossaise sur un thème populaire, BRUCH's dreamy melancholy Scottish Fantasy, and MENDELSSOHN's abstract emotional Scottish. HUANG won the Lincoln Center Awards for Emerging Artists with his extraordinary expressivity. We look forward to his perfect interpretation of the violin solo in Scottish Fantasy, from the affecting melody of the beginning and liveliness of movements two and three, to the sonorous finale. Impressionist maestro DEBUSSY used Scottish folk tunes to capture the atmosphere of the vast northern landscapes, making listeners feel they are on the scene. While MENDELSSOHN did not directly quote Scottish folk song, the history of Scotland comes through, the remembrance of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the poetic landscape.

Artists Introduction
Music Director｜Jun MÄRKL
Jun MÄRKL is a highly respected interpreter of the core German repertory, and has become known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French Impressionists. He currently serves as Music Director of the Taiwan Philharmonic (the National Symphony Orchestra), the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, and Principal Guest Conductor of the Residentie Orkest of The Hague. He has also recently been appointed Artistic Advisor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Oregon Symphony in the United States. His long-standing relationships with the state operas of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Semperoper Dresden and the Metropolitan Opera have been complemented by his music directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon, the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Basque National Orchestra. In recognition of his achievements in France, he was honored in 2012 with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Born in Munich, MÄRKL won the conducting competition of the Deutscher Musikrat in 1986 and studied at Tanglewood with Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa. Soon afterwards, he appeared in opera houses throughout Europe, followed by his first music directorships at the Staatstheater Saarbrücken and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Violin｜Paul HUANG
Recipient of the prestigious 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, violinist Paul HUANG is considered to be one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. The Washington Post proclaimed him as "an artist with the goods for a significant career" following his recital debut at the Kennedy Center. During the 2021-22 season, Mr. HUANG will open the Nürnberger Symphoniker season as well as appearances with the Rotterdam Philharmonic with Lahav Shani, Dallas Symphony with Fabio Luisi, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. Other recent highlights included appearances with the Mariinsky Orchestra with Valery Gergiev, Houston Symphony with Andreas-Orozco Estrada, Seoul Philharmonic with Markus Stenz, and Taipei Symphony with Gilbert Varga. In addition to his recital debuts at both Lucerne Festival and Aspen Music Festival, Paul also stepped in for Anne-Sophie Mutter at Bravo! Vail Music Festival with Chamber Orchestra Vienna-Berlin performing MOZART Violin Concerto No.4 to critical acclaim. Paul performs on the 1742 Ex-Wieniawski Guarneri del Gesu, on extended loan from the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
