The coloured freshness of string sound had been evident in the Mozart though it had a particular moment of glory in the famous adagietto where harp sounds infiltrate in gentle droplets (but also in the syrupy freedom of the first waltz episode of the scherzo).
The fine rich colours of the Philharmonia's woodwind brought engaging brightness to the still, early morning moment which opens the finale.

 Philharmonia Orchestra/András Schiff @ Queen Elizabeth Hall, London : concert review
Orchestra playing is plentiful in the Allegro, heralded by the strong trumpet fanfare (and not by the horns, as wrongly stated in the programme notes).
The last chord of the piece is a good example of the orchestra's alertness: Schiff wanted a slight but unexpected delay before it and it was done to perfection by the entire orchestra, even though he, too, played the piano with both hands.
The horns of the Philharmonia orchestra excelled in the Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra in F, Op.

With a bravado usually absent in leaders of symphony orchestras, he waved fondly to what must have seemed to him to be his adoring fans.
The Philharmonia is well known for its fullness of tone, and the Sage responded well to it, with the hall's superb acoustic coping easily with the sheer volume of sound produced.
As a total this isn't too bad a figure, until you discover that the Philharmonia and Budapest concerts are less than a week apart, and the four Kirov concerts are on consecutive days, with a gap of two days in the middle.

 Giulini And The Philharmonia Orchestra In Treasurable Concert Performances Review By Max Westler
arlo Maria Giulini conducted many great orchestras over the course of his long career, but the two that he was closest to were the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra of London.
For that, you had best turn to Ivan Fischer's recording with his magnificent Budapest festival Orchestra on Philips (or, if you're willing to put up with less than modern sound, the several recordings by Vaclav Talich and the Czech Philharmonic, or George Szell's early mono recording with the Concertgebouw).
There are, truth be told, many terrific recordings of this work, but this version captures Giulini and the Philharmonia at their most personable, sparkling, and expressive.
