Mozart (and a little Strauss) close up. - Very accompished quintet dedicated to theit craft. Quite intense, but displaying a touch of humour towards the end of the perfomance. The pianist in the first hallf was quite the performer and the 1st violin was outstanding. Nevertheless, I felt that rapport between the players was somewhat lacking. On leaving the venue, there was not a single taxi in sight and you were left on your own in a remote part of Salzburg late at night. The organisers should contact the taxi companies to provide many taxis as the majority of the audience were not locals familiar with the city.

Worth going for - The musicians were really good. It was a small set up and they could really engage with the audience. 90 mins was absolutely appropriate. The only thing many of us i guess found it difficult was to locate the hall in the fortress. There needs to be better signages.

Phenomenal music but a bit of false advertising - Music was fantastic. Perfect length. Only one song was Mozart so it was a bit of false advertising. Love that it was in the castle.

Watch the show with Boggle eyes🍻 - Don’t go to a classical concert when you’re tired or have been travelling all day. Instantly calms you to sleep. The ride up was wonderful, the Fortress was amazing and the Concert was intimate and perfect for its size. Just maybe the heating could be brought down so it felt less stuffy.

Disappointing and untrue photo - Venue is much smaller than the photo shown on Viator. That’s not the true photo of the actual performing location. The space is narrow and tight and stuffy without any fresh air circulation. Sound acoustic is lousy as the ceiling is quite low.
