Performer: Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra

Langrée's incoherent but enjoyable program skips through five centuries of music history from Lully to Valerie Coleman. 

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

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