"...Musically it was rewarding, too. At 78 the German conductor Hartmut Haenchen is no spring chicken, but his reading of Mozart’s late score fizzed with youthful élan from first to last and both the ROH Orchestra and a very good ‘A’ company (it alternates with a ‘B’ cast that looks just as promising) responded to him with charm and enthusiasm...."
