| 10-Aug-2012 Lincoln Center: Avery Fisher Hall | Death and life: Lutosławski, Bartók, and Mozart at the Mostly Mozart Festival |
 New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival continued Friday evening with three works, all marvelous and presented in reverse-chronological order. After Witold Lutosławski’s Muzyka żałobna, the orchestra and conductor Louis Langrée were joined by French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet for Bartók’s Piano Concerto no. 3, and the concert concluded with Mozart’s Symphony no. 39 in E flat major.

 This year’s Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center opened on Tuesday evening and, to put it encouragingly, there will certainly be room for improvement as the festival continues. (The present review relates to Wednesday’s performance of the same works.) The all-Mozart opening program featured two soloists who raised the level of artistry by varying degrees in their respective performances, but in the two symphonic works, Maestro Louis Langrée and the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra seemed a bit detached from the task at hand.Read full review... | |
| 5-Aug-2011 Lincoln Center: Avery Fisher Hall | Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra – light, sweet and refreshing |
 The New York based Mostly Mozart Festival is easily overshadowed by Tanglewood Summer Season at the same time in Massachusetts, but it would be careless to underestimate its quality. The programme on August 5th, 2011 banished any doubt about its ability to live up to world standards.
