By David Wolfson, 25 July 2023

The world premiere of Iraqi-American composer Amir ElSaffar's ambitious Dhikra (Remembrance) very nearly succeeds in its ambitions.

First premiere of New York Philharmonic’s Women’s commissioning Project 19

By David Wolfson, 05 February 2020

The satisfying kick-off to the New York Philharmonic’s Project 19 women’s commissioning project shared a bill with a disappointing Haydn cello concerto and a rewarding Mozart Mass.

Gravity and explosives at the Three Choirs Festival

By Simon Cummings, 28 July 2017

A curious combination of Mozart’s “Great” Mass and Shostakovich’s Twelfth Symphony fill Worcester Cathedral with exuberance.

"Maybe he's immortal?": Frans Brüggen memorial concert

By Cynthia Wilson, 24 October 2014

His passing last August was no surprise. Anyone who had witnessed Frans Brüggen conduct in recent years knew that he was far from healthy and old for his years.

Mozart's Mass in C Minor and more with the CBSO

By Katherine Dixson, 28 June 2014

There’s nothing like a bit of Mozart to help you unwind… and this was far more than a bit of Mozart, as part of the CBSO’s “Relax and Revitalise” series.

Coventry

Peace concert in Coventry with the English Symphony Orchestra

By Arthur Keegan-Bole, 12 November 2011

If only Mozart could’ve been there! Had he only one concert to attend from beyond the grave, Wolfgang could have done worse than head to Coventry Cathedral and its sumptuous acoustic on Saturday night. Here he would have been treated to a performance of his final symphony, no.41 ‘Jupiter’ – never heard in his lifetime – alongside his 'Great' Mass in C minor – which he never completed.

Gateshead

Celebratory Mozart

By Jane Shuttleworth, 24 September 2011

There was a sense of celebration in the air at the Sage Gateshead, as the Northern Sinfonia orchestra and chorus began their tenth season under the direction of Thomas Zehetmair with an all-Mozart programme. The hall was full, and before welcoming Zehetmair to the stage, Sage General Director Anthony Sargent had a bit of fun showing off Hall One’s fancy new multi-coloured lighting effects.

Mozart Mass in C Minor and Vesperae solennes de confessore

By Katy S. Austin, 28 June 2011

This was the second vocal concert of late (the last being Ariodante with Joyce DiDinato) to feature an exemplary female soloist caged inside an otherwise nondescript performance. Jérémie Rohrer tried in vain to force energy out of French chamber choir Les Elements and period ensemble Le Cercle de l’Harmonie.
