Michele Mariotti: Precision and Enthusiasm with Beethoven in Reggio Emilia

«On May 14, 2025, the penultimate concert of the season at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia featured a classically rich program: Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92. At the podium, Michele Mariotti led the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala with his signature clarity and energy.

Mariotti approached Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony with enthusiasm and competence, offering an accurate and well-crafted interpretation of this iconic work. While the performance leaned toward structural precision over ecstatic abandon, his reading still conveyed a deep understanding of Beethoven’s rhythmic drive and architectural vision.

The concert was met with a packed house and enthusiastic applause, underscoring the unquestionable success of the evening and the strength of Mariotti’s direction.»
