The Hub Review (Thomas Garvey) reviews Mozart Dances

Thomas Garvey rendered a typically evocative and detailed take on this past weekend's performance of Mozart dances by the Mark Morris Dance Group with Emmanuel Music, conductor Jane Glover, and pianists Russell Sherman and Minsoo Sohn on his blog, The Hub Review.

Here's a bit from his concluding paragraph:

"This was an extraordinary evening of dance and music, and an extraordinary moment in the city's cultural life."

Aw, shucks... Quotes like that should be on posters or at least on multiple blogs. But Mr. Garvey is not Rex Reed, there is observational meat on the bones in his review. Garvey does not miss the point (not to imply that anyone else in print did so), nor does he neglect the stellar musicians who spent the weekend largely out of site in the orchestra pit.
