(26/07/2021) La reseña de Robert Hugill.
Conductor Beatrice Venezi had made her UK debut at the beginning of this run and I certainly hope she will be back soon. She drew fine, idiomatic playing from the City of London Sinfonia who clearly relished the complexities of Mascagni´s score with its use of instrumental interludes to develop the drama. They were playing and orchestral reduction by Tony Banks from Pocket Publications, but we hardly notice so strong was the character Venezi drew from the players.
