Review: Haydn's Creation at the Tung Auditorium ****1/2

The Liverpool Mozart Orchestra set the bar high when it launched its 75th anniversary year last November with its president Sir Simon Rattle on the podium. Happily, it had another ace up its sleeve with which to bring the special season to a fitting close, and in jubilant fashion. The orchestra has performed Haydn throughout its three-quarters-of-a-century of music making, principally the prolific Austrian’s symphonies, but also occasionally other pieces, like his oboe concer

Review: Liverpool Mozart Orchestra at the Tung Auditorium ****

How do you mark 75 years of music making in Liverpool? How about by inviting the city’s most famous (non-Beatle) musical export to launch your special anniversary? Wishful thinking? Reaching for the stars? It turned out not for the Liverpool Mozart Orchestra whose opening concert of its 75 th season serendipitously coincided with a rare visit home for its illustrious president Sir Simon Rattle, in town to open a European tour with his own current outfit the Bavarian Radio Sy
