“The centerpiece was the famous Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major for violin and viola by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 to 1791). The violinist Kapoor, who hails from the United States, and Polish violist Podłucka, both young rising virtuosos, enchanted the audience with their finely nuanced playing. They gave subtle expression to the tears, sighs and heart throbs in the deeply melancholic C minor Andante, as well as to the liberating affirmation of life and breathless bravado in the fast final movement.

Again and again, the interplay of the solo instruments seemed like the finest human duet singing. Harmonically, all the solo brilliance - which never wanted to shine in the foreground - was embedded in the warm round sound of the small string orchestra, complemented by two sensitively played horns and oboes.”
