Concert review METAMORPHOSEN AND MOZART WITH HANS GRAF Singapore Symphony Orchestra Friday , Sistic Live One unforeseen consequence of the present pandemic and social distancing measures has been the proliferation of chamber music performances.

Under chief conductor Hans Graf's direction, Mozart became comfortable bedfellows with German composer Richard Strauss in a digital programme that contrasted grief and mourning with verve and jollity. The SSO strings were, as usual, sumptuously sonorous without trivialising the requiem they were delivering. Graf expertly reined in the pacing of the narrative, with tempos which neither dragged nor became a caricature of the funereal message.

This was followed by Mozart's Serenade In B Flat Major , also called the Gran Partita, scored for 12 winds and double bass.
