Violin & Viola. Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra. MACM. Mahidol Salaya Campus. Nakhom Pathom. August 9, 2014.

 Russian violinist Boris Brovtsyn teamed up with American violist Jennifer Stumm, for a flowing rendition of Mozart’s Sinfornia Concertante, K.364
  Oh, what a difference a week and a change of conductor can make.  Back under the baton of chief conductor Gudni A. Emilsson, who has lead the TPO since its inception,  the orchestra regained its élan and gave an impressive performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8, just at the right tempo and with all sections playing beautifully and in balance, not an easy fete in this auditorium.  Emilsson, active on the podium, but not too much so as to distract, had a clear vision of what he wanted this lively symphony to sound like, and his orchestra responded fully.  Russian violinist Boris Brovtsyn teamed up with American violist Jennifer Stumm, for a flowing rendition of Mozart’s Sinfornia Concertante, K.364, surely as beautiful a piece of music as Mozart has written, with the TPO providing subtle and sensitive support.
