Top-heavy program | Nachrichten.at

Two numbers – 1782 and 1783 – do not make an exciting program. Those years in which Mozart gained a foothold in Vienna and scored points with the “Abduction from the Seraglio”. So it started with the overture and the first two Belmonte arias with Julian Prégardien as the ideal interpreter. Mozart and the Salzburg Haydn were linked by a symphony in G major, which, except for the introduction, comes from Haydn’s younger brother. After the break the aria “D ?? Angelica il nome” from Haydn’s “Orlando furioso”. Here, too, Julian Prégardien proved to be a stylish, vocal interpreter of the music of the time. Then: Mozart’s “Haffner Symphony”. The Concentus Musicus played great, but the tension that this music needs didn’t want to set in. Much pearls elegantly, lively virtuoso and with a fine feel for slow lines. But the kick that a very good concert turned into a sensational one was missing. (wruss)

Conclusion: A fine concert, the program of which only partially encouraged you to surpass yourself and really want to get carried away.
