But where the musicians were concerned, he was all sincerity, recalling how touched he was when 60 CSO musicians wrote him letters of gratitude after their explosive first tour together in 2007. Years of careful study surely gave this “Missa solemnis” its buoyancy, tact and grace. But most revelatory from the outside was how naturally this music flowed from Muti’s baton. Without doubt, this was among his most structurally incisive interpretations in recent seasons, refusing to linger over modulations or movement endings. He tastefully smoothed the edges of some of Beethoven’s dynamic writing — plunges fromcrop up all over the work — and saved the whiplash for where it counted.
