“In Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony the orchestra was focused and bright,” wrote The New York Times’ Zachary Woolfe about last Tuesday night’s Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra performance with conductor Andrew Manze and pianist Stephen Hough. “In the fourth movement there is an unexpected series of crazily chromatic chords; but in this performance, given the vibrancy of what had preceded it, it seemed utterly natural. The audience was ready for anything under Mr. Manze’s exciting direction.”
The Mostly Mozart Festival continues tonight with the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Dido and Aeneas in the Rose Theater.
