Light and shadows up to Mozart's summit: Camerata Salzburg in Cadogan Hall

Who needs conductors when you've got synergy? The Camerata Salzburg and Hélène Grimaud bring Mozart and Brahms to Berlin's Philharmonie. 

Intimate and powerful, Fischer's performance with Camerata Salzburg feels like a match made in heaven. 

A charming programme featuring Renaud Capuçon and Gérard Caussé in the Sinfonia Concertante in E flat major, one of Mozart’s most sublime, sun-drenched works. 

Worlds apart from those interpretations where Bach's expressivity is left to speak for itself, tonight's approach provided a complementary carapace that navigated us through Bach's score in unexpected ways.

The Camerata Salzburg’s evening of Mozart, Enescu and Vaughan Williams at Berlin’s Konzerthaus was a crisp and bubbling performance that stimulated the intellect as well as the emotions. Beginning the evening with George Enescu’s Two Intermezzi for String Orchestra, the Camerata swept audience members away into a world gone, but too lovely to be forgotten.

You know that it is really warm in the hall when a special announcement before the concert is made apologizing to all the ladies in the house that the men in the orchestra will be playing without their suit jackets due to the heat. We in the audience, fanning ourselves incessantly, were only too happy to be forgiving, as the orchestra must have been fairly melting under the lights.
