Under the direction of Risto Joost, the orchestra's playing is lively and the agile strings, the crisp timpani and the attacking winds leave no doubt that Mozart's score has been read carefully. Speaking articulation and detailed, sophisticated dynamics bring it to life. The musicians sit on spiked cushions and don't let themselves fall back into their chairs for the entire evening. This testifies to excellent rehearsal work and blows any routine out of this repertoire piece.
- Rhein-Neckar Zeitung, Matthias Roth
Risto Joost succeeds in presenting Mozart's multi-layered, eloquent music in a razor-sharp portrayal of the dialectic of power and eros.
- Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung, Harry Schmidt
...This is also evident in the gripping musical rendition. Under the inspiring direction of Risto Joost, the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, in collaboration with the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts, performs in a highly differentiated and dynamically balanced manner. This is already evident in the overture, which bubbles over with vitality.
