LINCOLN CENTER

Alice Tully Hall
Great Performers - Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra

Matthew Halls - Conductor
Radovan Vlatković - Horn

Beethoven - Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus
Mozart - Horn Concerto No. 3
Mozart - Symphony No. 41 ("Jupiter")

A program worthy of the gods: Beginning with Beethoven’s fiery Prometheus Overture, Austria’s beloved Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra—founded by the widow and sons of the composer himself—makes its 175th anniversary appearance in New York’s pristine Alice Tully Hall. The ensemble continues with its namesake’s rarely performed E-flat major Horn Concerto, followed by his soaring “Jupiter” Symphony.

Here is the artist several years ago playing the Mozart horn piece in this concert...

The soloist were perfection!  Judging much of his performance is subjective but I can objectively tell you he never craved or splattered a note during the concerto and two encores.  His attack was perfect throughout his performance.  Subjectively, I thought he was great.
