	Francois Leleux and Andres Oroszco-Estrada after a triumphant appearance at the Musikverein in Vienna April 2013
	François Leleux returns to Vienna - Mozart! April 2013 François Leleux returns to Vienna's Musikverein on 12, 13 14 April to perform Mozart's Concerto in C major KV 314 with the Tonkünstler-Orchester under music director Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Performing the C major concerto on tour last month with Ivan Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra, one reviewer wrote, " François Leleux ... is quite a magical performer. His sonority is totally enchanting, his virtuosity limitless and flows so naturally from its source that one is no longer aware of all the hard work that preceded it. Whether it is in the flowery virtuoso pranks of Pasculli or the elegance, lyricism and joie de vivre of Mozart's concerto, Leleux's commitment is irresistible. Standing at the side of the conductor, he spices his playing with an appropriate dose of showiness and wit, knowing exactly how far to go. Yet as his rendition of the Mozart C major concerto proved, he is also a sensitive artist, a subtle colorist, dialoguing and blending his instrument with the orchestral textures to ravishing effect... The tender melancholy of Mozart's Andante ma non troppo was as compellingly rendered as the three dazzling cadenzas."
	busy January January 2013 To start off a busy January, Francois Leleux made his first appearance as Artist in Association with the Orchestre de chambre de Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 15 January.
