Contrasting halves from Mostly Mozart Orchestra and Heyward

Edward Sava-Segal, 4th August

Jessie Montgomery's 2016 Records from a Vanishing City enthralls, Barber’s Violin Concerto is exquisite; Schumann's Rhenish disappoints.

In New York, Gemma New makes “Mostly Mozart” mostly magic

David Wolfson, 1st August

Gemma New makes a positive impressive in the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra's lively rendition of the “Prague” Symphony.

Langrée pairs ambitious premiere with uneven Mass at Mostly Mozart

David Wolfson, 25th July

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

Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra offers a Requiem for itself

David Wolfson, 5th August

Amid an uncertain future for the Mostly Mozart Festival, conductor Louis Langrée led a fiery program that overflowed with rage rather than grief.

Mozart and Brahms shine in a bold, romantic glow

Linda Holt, 30th July

Romanticized but highly enjoyable Mozart performances, monumental Brahms, but more gusto than tenderness characterized the program.

Edward Sava-Segal

Edward has been living in New York for the last 25 years, one of the reasons being the extraordinarily rich cultural life in this city. He has studied piano and classical music in his early years. He switched later on to computer science and data architecture but he kept an unwavering interest in following the classical music phenomenon here in New York and in his travels. Edward occasionally reviews fine arts events for the most prestigious literary magazine in Romania, his home country.
