Interesting Mozart concert by Sabine Devieilhe and members of the Berlin Phil conducted by Maxim Emelyanychev, the present conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, who also assisted at the fortepiano. We began with the Overture to the Marriage of
Figaro and went on to some arias plus the 'Et incarnatus est' from the C Minor mass, for which Mme Devieilhe stood next to the woodwinds. There was a conductorless performance of the 'Serenata notturna' with the 'concertino' standing, and we got a little
cadenza from the tympanist - small drums, hard sticks - in the final movement. The concert ended with the 'Prague' symphony.
This was La Divine Sabine's first appearance with the BPO, and judging from the enthusiastic audience response, it won't be the last. You can see and hear it too, and as it'll presumably go into the BPO archive, it counts as a recording, doesn't it?
