Yesterday in such an exacting work as Mozart's E flat major symphony, (K. 543), they proved their remarkable ability in neat playing, and clean whittling, not in a large work like Zarathustra, but in a classical symphony. How Mr. Monteux is able to do so well with both moderns and "ancients" is an enigma to many at least of his hearers...
