“My first meeting with David Bernard was a private rehearsal in which we worked through the Dvořák Cello Concerto while he accompanied me from the piano. It immediately became apparent that Mr. Bernard’s knowledge, passion, and curiosity for the work far exceeded that of any conductor with whom I had previously worked on the piece. He offered me several fascinating musical ideas I have since incorporated into my vision of the work. His courteous and easygoing demeanor also set me at ease.”

”Working with David Bernard has been an enlightening experience. I was awed by his unique energy and passion when we worked together to perform Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto. I was inspired by his different insights into the music, including some special moments in the second movement, and a syncopated rhythm in the last movement which I now still hear in a different light. On top of his deep orchestral knowledge, David's infectious enthusiasm is such a pleasure to work with.”

”I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maestro David Bernard as a soloist several times over the past few years. Every collaboration we’ve had was exhilarating and inspiring—not only for the rehearsals and performances, but also for our preparation sessions, where we worked together on the nuances of each concerto. Through these collaborations, I have developed new insights into these works that I draw on to this day. His exceptional musical and all-round erudition serves him to engage and educate musicians of any caliber from young emerging professionals to seasoned artists.”
