...if you want to see an opera with the twists and turns of a spy thriller and an orchestral score which, at its climaxes, has a white-knuckle momentum and abrasive power, you will enjoy Stephen Langridge’s staging, expertly conducted by Tim Anderson.

Tim Anderson conducts the 16-strong Glyndebourne Sinfonia with a crisp alertness to the dabs of vibrant instrumental colour – celeste, harp, trombone, oboe – that Turnage spots around and between the vocal lines.
Audiences, whatever their age, won’t regret their ride on Glyndebourne’s hi-tech, high-speed and expertly-steered train.

The orchestra was impressively prepared and the chorus sang with aplomb and remarkable accuracy [...]
High accolades are due to the last but certainly not least essential member of the creative team. Tim Anderson, conducting Dean’s complex score for the first time, stood assuredly in front of the large performing forces. Not only did he give precise indications for the difficult entries to all, but he kept the stream of the music elegantly, never failing to manage the intricate balances between stage and orchestra allowing the Dane prince’s story to evolve and Dean’s music to shine, creating a momentous occasion indeed.

Frankly, I’m not even sure where to begin with a review of one of the greatest productions I’ve ever seen from our national opera company [...]
[...] right from the beginning, with the veto on conductor entry applause – a definitive metaphorical statement upfront that sacrifices the ego of the individual to the altar of focused story-telling. This is of course not to say that Anglo-German conductor Tim Anderson deserved anything less than the highest acclaim for expertly managing such diverse orchestral and vocal forces, a testament to his rapidly growing career specialising in twentieth and twenty-first century works.

Tim Anderson am Pult besitzt jedenfalls den nötigen Sinn für die penible Abmischung der diffizilen Stimmungsmalereien und hat das bravouröse Kärntner Sinfonieorchester auch bei den vielen geräuschartigen Klängen hörbar auf seiner Seite. Zusammen sorgen sie dafür, dass die Musik ... eine neue Ebene der Intensität erreicht, die bis zur Schlussszene anhält.
Tim Anderson on the podium certainly has the necessary sense for the meticulous arrangement of difficult atmospheric paintings and has the brilliant Carinthian Symphony Orchestra audibly on his side, even with the many sound effects. Together, they ensure that the music reaches a new level of intensity ... which lasts until the final scene.

Großartig das KSO unter dem souveränen Tim Anderson zwischen Bläseratem, Streicherklagen un komplexen Klang- und Tongewittern, die alles an Gefühl umfassen, was diese antike, doch so aktuelles Tragödie in Herz und Hirn wuchtet.
The KSO under the commanding Tim Anderson is magnificent, between wind breath, string lamentations and complex thunderstorms of sound and tone that encompass all the emotions that this ancient yet so topical tragedy stirs up in the heart and mind.
