| 12-Nov-2011 Coventry Cathedral | Peace concert in Coventry with the English Symphony Orchestra |
If only Mozart could’ve been there! Had he only one concert to attend from beyond the grave, Wolfgang could have done worse than head to Coventry Cathedral and its sumptuous acoustic on Saturday night.

| 24-Sep-2011 Sage: Hall One | Celebratory Mozart |
| There was a sense of celebration in the air at the Sage Gateshead, as the Northern Sinfonia orchestra and chorus began their tenth season under the direction of Thomas Zehetmair with an all-Mozart programme. The hall was full, and before welcoming Zehetmair to the stage, Sage General Director Anthony Sargent had a bit of fun showing off Hall One’s fancy new multi-coloured lighting effects.

| 28-Jun-2011 Barbican Centre: Hall | Mozart Mass in C Minor and Vesperae solennes de confessore |
This was the second vocal concert of late (the last being Ariodante with Joyce DiDinato) to feature an exemplary female soloist caged inside an otherwise nondescript performance. Jérémie Rohrer tried in vain to force energy out of French chamber choir Les Elements and period ensemble Le Cercle de l’Harmonie. Ultimately though, despite moments of sudden verve from conductor and ensembles, the night belonged to soprano Sally Matthews.Read full review... | |
