Idomeneo, a story of kings, queens and Gods, is given a suitably noble treatment by Mozart, while his Concerto for Bassoon featuring CBSO’s Nikolaj Henriques, is as light and delicious as a soufflé. Simpson’s fabulous Trumpet Concertino, by turns sassy and slinky, gives the spotlight to CBSO’s Jason Lewis, while Shostakovich’s pithy Symphony No.9 goes from sprightly to feverish to downright raucous.
