Michele Mariotti Triumphs with Elegance and Energy at Maggio Musicale Fiorentino

«On May 8, 2025, Michele Mariotti returned to the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, leading the orchestra and chorus in a refined program of Mozart, Stravinsky, and Poulenc.

His reading of Mozart’s Symphony in G minor K. 183 was vivid and emotionally charged, revealing maturity and depth. In Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes, Mariotti brought clarity and rhythmic flair, guiding the orchestra through its playful complexity with precision.

The highlight came with Poulenc’s Gloria, where Mariotti’s control and expressive insight shaped a performance both emotionally intense and musically cohesive. The ensemble responded with precision and warmth, and the audience rewarded them with enthusiastic applause.»
