“Matthew Halls maximizes variation on the Viennese classic line”

Matthew Hall’s debut with the Finnish Radio Orchestra in Helsinki was a great success, met with critical praise and an immediate reinvitation. “Symphony concerts usually combine music from different eras, creating variation and contrast. If the program nowadays contains only Mozart and Haydn, it can be considered as bold program design. British conductor Matthew Halls testified that maximizing variation is also possible on a purely Viennese class line. Halls knows his Mozart and Haydn” — Helsingin Sanomat
