“Creating atmosphere so as to enter new musical worlds, the concert began with Gyorgy Ligeti’s “Lontano.” The Magdeburg Philharmonic created fascinating, deeply emotional, atmospheric and imaginary sonorities under the direction of… Joseph Bousso.“
–Magdeburger Volksstimme

“Guest Conductor Bousso and the Magdeburg Philharmonic orchestra drew energetic and long-arching, searing phrases in Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2: “The Age of Anxiety,” throughout the entire piece. In order to give the Burlesque-like Jazz figures [in “The Masque”] and the grand final hymn, exactly the right timing they needed, Bousso let the closing unfold and build up to a beautiful climax.“
–Magdeburger Volksstimme

“Indeed the conducting style and approach of Joseph Bousso can be characterized by beautifully balanced sonorities and atmospheric precision…a captivating evening and a complete work of art.“

“Equally important and worthy of mention are the choices of musical pieces for the ballet evening, which were beautifully, resonantly, expressively performed as well as with a great deal of nuance by the Rhenish Philharmonic Orchestra under Joseph Bousso’s leadership. A thrilling and touching evening.”
–Rhein Zeitung

“Splendid and full of the joy and love of music-making. The Rhenish Philharmonic Orchestra created a sensually beautiful sound tapestry under the charismatic leadership of Joseph Bousso, whose dedicated attention to detail was most apparent. This production [of “Samson et Dalila” by Camille Saint-Saëns] is his best work at the opera house [of Koblenz].”
