I have learned that our concert with the Israel Chamber Orchestra on September 19 had been reviewed by Oberösterreichische Nachrichten,
one of Austria's popular daily newspapers. They gave it 5 stars out of the possible 6 and wrote: "On Sunday morning the Israel Chamber Orchestra performed a series of musical gems at the Bruckner Festival in Linz, Austria, led by their main conductor, Roberto Paternostro... The combination of an experienced conductor and an excellent orchestra resulted in a magical matinee concert. At the beginning of the concert, the overture to Salvatore Viganò's ballet, "The Creatures of Prometheus" lit a musical fire for the audience. This fire continued throughout the performance... The superior orchestra and conductor carried away the audience with a thrilling program." The original review (in German) is here:
