“Francis and group were effortless and energetic, both here and even more so in the rushing and vigorous final Allegro (whose “ma non troppo,” or “not too much,” was taken with a welcome grain of salt). Mainly Mozart’s All-Star Orchestra is literally that — a group of ringers drawn from the finest orchestras, a fact which might present its own challenges, as players need time to acclimate themselves to a new group. But one wouldn’t know these players aren’t regular bandmates, as the sound is blended, supple and dynamic.”
