Christoph Eschenbach brings the Konzerthausorchester Berlin to Zurich, with Johan Dalene in Mozart and Stathis in Reinecke. A Debussy encore, Syrinx, leaves the evening with the sound of a single flute.
“the warmth, the roundness, the depth of the sonority”

Rolf Kyburz values the spacious, lyrical approach to Reinecke, praising Karapanos’s clear tone, controlled dynamics and restrained vibrato. He separates those qualities from reservations about the concerto itself and occasional orchestral coordination. Debussy’s Syrinx receives his strongest praise, closing the evening with a rich and atmospheric solo.
