The Los Angeles Times wrote that Jaap van Zweden "proved formidable" in his performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in 2017, and The New York Times applauded his 2019 Philharmonic performance of Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony as "impressively vibrant and incisive."

Joshua Bell collaborated with Jaap van Zweden in the celebratory opening concerts of the 45th anniversary of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, where Maestro van Zweden also serves as music director. Mr. Bell will join the New York Philharmonic and Maestro van Zweden again next season, both in New York and on the Asian 2021 tour.
