Marten Root describes his longstanding relationship with conductor John Eliot Gardiner as both challenging and rewarding, highlighting the intensity of being a flute player in an orchestra.
Root emphasizes the difficulty of collaborating with Gardiner, stating that returning to the orchestra after disagreements was worthwhile due to the musically enriching experience offered.
In a notable incident, Gardiner's struggle led to a physical confrontation after a performance, forcing him to withdraw from conducting temporarily and reshape his musical endeavors.
After his return, Gardiner's new ensemble, the Constellation Choir & Orchestra, presented a unique contrast to his previous group, indicating a significant evolution in his artistic direction.
