...muster much support. The lively second movement was buoyant with running 16th notes in the strings like a motor beneath the orchestra. The speed occasionally got the better of the strings, as the sound sometimes lost its crispness, but Yannatos again gave the audience a thrilling ride. The slow third movement features striking, solemn chorales in the horns and bassoons and a lush string sound. In the tumultuous final movement, the strings nimbly ducked under and crept over the winds, and the piece finished with a fulfilling culmination of the momentum that had gathered throughout, capping off the performance...
