La Maison Symphonique – 06

The best innings in the main work, the same Beethoven symphony, came in the flowing adagio. The violins’ intelligent cantabile line had real warmth, character and unforced presence. Every instrument in the orchestra sounded more like itself than at Wilfrid-Pelletier, because we were getting so much more information. The hall was delivering more of the complex profile of overtones that distinguish one instrument’s sound from another, and that flavour every note.
