Mozart’s D-major concerto and Penderecki’s Second Sinfonietta bring Stathis to the Rudolfinum with Łukasz Borowicz and Prague Philharmonia. Ballet music frames the evening, with Jean-François Ehrlich narrating Martinů’s chess game. The audience calls Stathis back for Debussy’s Syrinx before the interval.

Vojtěch Mojžíš singles out the lyrical flute sound, the dialogue with concertmaster Romana Špačková in Penderecki and the virtuosity of Mozart’s cadenzas. He finds the soloist both accomplished and unassuming, while questioning the balance between amplified narration and the orchestra in Martinů.
Lenka Dohnalová highlights Karapanos’s poetic, relaxed playing and natural phrasing. She describes the flute’s quiet exchanges with the strings in Penderecki and the freshness brought to familiar Mozart, ending with the audience’s insistence on a Debussy encore.
