“But it was the Sylvan Winds… that provided the evening’s most elegant performances.”

- John Rockwell
The New York Times

 

“… the ensemble offered both sobriety and mirth… there was a special transparency and spiritedness to these performances.”

- Allan Kozinn
The New York Times

 

“Like a party that has joyfully exceeded its bounds, the Mostly Mozart Festival spilled outdoors onto the plaza of Lincoln Center … the playing was up to the Sylvan’s usual high standards: focused, disciplined and executed with an organlike consistency.”

- Tim Page
The New York Times
