Chief conductor Juanjo Mena conducted a programme of energetic Beethoven and Schubert alongside an original reading of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall.Hearing little-played Beethoven is a rare treat in the concert hall, and Mena made a strong case for the great man’s Ritterballett (“Knight Ballet”) music.
