Since the beginning of his tenure as Principal Conductor in 2002, Myron Jussipowitsch (Yusypovych) has created a homogeneous and artistically accomplished ensemble, that performs about 100 concerts yearly for a highly appreciative and dedicated audience in the German speaking world…
Jussipowitsch (Yusypovych) cherishes the best of the enourmous Kapellmeister sound tradition. How? Without airs, true to the beat and rhythm, without sensationalism. And the musicians? Wonderful dark, warm strings, round and sonorous brass (horm, tuba and trombones), delicate woodwinds with multiple solos – these are just some of the reasons.
The high-end ensemble, that up to now has triumphantly performed in 16 European countries … carried us off into the spellbinding world of opera choruses under the tight and spunky conducting of their Principal Conductor, Myron Jussipowitsch (Yusypovych): sound tableaus … alternated with heroic scenes … romantic choruses … and the, unfortunately, much too rarely performed, lyrical and oriental sounding “Polovetsian Dances”…
In the end, the bravos and standing ovations were a testimony to how much this concert warmed the audience’s heart. (translated from German)
The festive evening began with an extremely vibrant interpretation of the Entr’acte from Bizet’s Carmen by Ukrainian conductor, Myron Jussipowitsch (Yusypovych).
Verdi: Overture to La forza del destino (The Force of Destiny) (00:00 – 03:50) Lysenko: Overture and Cossack March from Taras Bulba (04:10 – 07:50)

... concert had a rather different program from the usual, with guest conductor Myron Yusypovych selecting several works unfamiliar to our audiences, even including one by a composer, Lysenko, unknown in these parts… All in all, a very, very fine Masterpiece concert – indeed, exemplary.

… on tour playing Viennese music … conductor Myron Jussipowitsch (Yusypovych) celebrated the melodiousness of this music with ardour. These waltzes, mazurkas and polkas by Strauss senior, Strauss junior and Josef Strauss should be played exactly so, with great variations in tempi and dynamics, and most importantly with an immense love for this music.
