Richard Goode delivers a gentile performance of a Mozart piano concerto, whilst Anne Thorvaldsdottir’s dark Archora is given an impressive performance.

Sir Stephen Hough produces a memorable piece of pianism in Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto and Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Metacosmos will have converted some contemporary music sceptics.

Primordial Icelandic energy in Anna Thorvaldsdottir's premiere was followed by lightness of touch from Kian Soltani in Elgar and thoughtfully commanding Sibelius.

A local solid cast and a lively production make for an entertaining premiere of Mozart's last masterpiece at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm.
