Back-to-basics Mozart and Beethoven with Fabio Luisi and the Dallas Symphony

«Of course, Mozart’s performances of his own symphonies never happened in halls remotely as large as Dallas’ 2,000-seat Meyerson Symphony Center. And Luisi was onto something by approaching the Jupiter as more than “just” a symphony. It’s actually a pretty dramatic piece, and Luisi’s rather operatic approach contrasted bold statements and emphases with whispered delicacies. Phrases great and small were lovingly tapered and directed. The finale was exhilarating.»
