MOZART & THE
HORN SCO PRINCIPAL HORN ALEC FRANK-GEMMILL IS CONSIDERED INTERNATIONALLY AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST EXPONENTS OF THE HORN
WEBER Symphony No 1 in C MOZART Horn Concerto No 2 in E-flat, K417 Rondo in E-flat BEETHOVEN Symphony No 8 ––––– RICHARD EGARR – Conductor ALEC FRANK-GEMMILL – Horn ––––– An evening of Viennese warmth, humour and sheer virtuosity. “Wolfgang Amadé Mozart takes pity on Leutgeb, ass, ox, and simpleton, at Vienna…1783” – so reads the dedication of his second horn concerto to possibly the greatest horn player of his age, Joseph Leutgeb. Clearly they were firm friends (Mozart was seven when they first met) and perhaps this is what makes Mozart’s horn concertos so irresistible. The evening climaxes with Beethoven’s thrilling Eighth Symphony. –––––
Pre-Concert Talk: 6.30pm Free to ticket holders SCO violist Steve King in conversation with Richard Egarr.
