MOSTLY MOZART 1: MOZART & SON

MOSTLY MOZART 3: VIENNESE SWEETS

Wednesday 20 February 2013, 11am Richard Wagner Siegfried Idyll Leopold Mozart Concerto in D for trumpet Mozart Les petits riens, K.299b

Tuesday 9 July 2013, 11am Mozart The Marriage of Figaro – Overture Schubert Rondo in A for violin, D.438 Mozart Symphony No.29 in A, K.201

Josh Rogan trumpet

Shane Chen violin

The Siegfried Idyll received the most intimate of premieres – the stairway of the Wagners’ home on Christmas Day, 1870. The occasion was Cosima Wagner’s 33rd birthday and the piece is the best kind of present: warm and personal, a musical portrait of their family.

Leopold Mozart was not just a famous stage parent, he was also a composer. If his talent pales next to that of his son, that’s because his boy was the Mozart. Leopold contributed a fine trumpet concerto, showcasing our soloist’s brilliant clarino sound. Mozart Jr wrote few ballets, but this one is a delightful rococo confection featuring cross-dressing shepherds and shepherdesses confounded by Cupid and fashionably ‘rustic’ dances.

Vienna is as much renowned for its sweet-tooth as its music, and this concert presents a dessert trolley of treats. Mozart’s racy overture to Mozart’s sublime farce acts as curtain-raiser. The violinist creates spun-sugar tracery in Schubert’s Rondo, a ‘layer-cake’ where a delicious tune returns again and again. Mozart’s Symphony in A is widely regarded as his first mature masterpiece, where melody and form, grace and energy, sweetness and savour find perfect balance. There’s a dash of whimsy in its hunting horns and dances and, in the finale, a tantalising foretaste of the skittering excitement of Figaro.

MOSTLY MOZART 2: MOZART IN PARIS

MOSTLY MOZART 4: CHRISTMAS CONCERTO

Wednesday 22 May 2013, 11am Britten Simple Symphony, Op.4 Mozart Sinfonia Concertante in E flat for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn & orchestra, K.297b Mozart Symphony No.31 in D, K.297 Paris

Wednesday 18 December 2013, 11am Corelli Concerto Grosso Op.6 No.8, Christmas Concerto Mozart Piano Concerto No.25 in C, K.503 Mozart A Musical Joke, K.522

Jack Schiller bassoon Nicholas Evans clarinet Georgina Roberts oboe Georgia loakimidis MacDougall horn With a nod to Mozart at his most cheeky, Britten’s Simple Symphony is as boisterous, playful, sentimental and frolicsome as its movement titles suggest. Mozart’s Paris Symphony on the other hand is anything but simple. It’s full of scintillating effects designed to show off a virtuoso orchestra and dazzle the picky Parisian audience (they loved it). From the same trip to Paris, the Sinfonia Concertante really is ‘mostly Mozart’ – debate rages about how much of it is actually by him.

Mozart’s fingerprints are all over the solo wind parts at least, where four friends engage in witty and tuneful conversation.

Aidan Boase piano Corelli’s concerto grosso was ‘made for Christmas night’ for the enjoyment of his patron and that of future generations, who have been beguiled ever since by the lilting grace of its final movement, evoking the awed and joyful shepherds at the first Christmas.

Mozart’s C–major Concerto isn’t the typical glittering display-piece – instead of showiness there’s symphonic power and ‘greatness of spirit’. If any work brings to mind the heroic austerity inherent in the ideal of the ‘Classical’, it’s this one. In complete contrast, Mozart’s Musical Joke skewers the pretentions of composers and musicians with a witty collection of clichés and some very wrong notes.
