Probably the best, most intense performance of the Mozart g minor symphony I've seen. The orchestra is so in sync it was pure joy. My only complaint is the pianist for the Mozart piano concerto #22. The tempos were fast and in many of the runs and arpeggios, he seemed to rush through them technically - muffled and without emphasizing the key landing points. Many missed opportunities in the second movement as well. Collapse
