Foron was a revelation! I was on the edge of my seat during the Gran Partita, which bubbles out in a stream of joy anyway, but I’ve never heard it played so spontaneously, so excitingly – as though Mozart himself were conducting. He’s an extraordinary talent, his baton a wand. The beat is clear, the phrasing and colouring eloquently conveyed by fluid gestures and his dancing form. Inspired by Foron’s magic, the young players took us up into the heavens! Can’t wait to hear him again.
