MetSO did themselves and their stern and sympathetic conductor Kevin Cameron proud in their first foray into Classical music. About 30 players fronted up valiantly (bravo horns!) to Beethoven's Prometheus overture and supported two fluent flutists as they made merry with a double concerto by Cimarosa. Confidence beyond the range of most amateur orchestras was the keynote in late symphonies by Mozart (Paris) and Haydn (London). Elegance matching the 1903 Hall for the slow movements, snappy syncopations and cross rhythms, beyond-brisk tempi for the fast ones. Special praise for timing that let occasional cheeky little quirks shine through in the Haydn - still cracking jokes in his dotage. Woodville Town Hall, February 10
