«Gianandrea Noseda and the National Symphony Orchestra reunite, and it’s a joyful noise» the Washington Post reports
«Noseda is in Washington for three weeks, leading the NSO in four programs to be filmed and digitally released through the Kennedy Center’s “Digital Stage Plus” platform. (…) The rehearsal was all about fine-tuning the Finale movement of Mozart’s 40th, the composer’s monumental “great G minor” symphony — which Noseda is turning into a stagewide workout. (…) I’ve heard this symphony many times — everyone ever has — but under Noseda’s baton it becomes a different beast: kinetic yet controlled, feral yet finessed. He’s restoring it, brushing the dust out of its details. But he’s also reanimating it — giving it a life I’d forgotten it could lead.»
