Mozart dedicated a number of fine opuses to the flute, such as his stunning Concerto No. 1. The splendid Quintet for Piano and Winds and ‘Prague’ Symphony are two more of his triumphs placing woodwinds in the spotlight.
For their second concert dedicated to Mozart, the musicians of the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris and Maxim Emelyanychev perform the composer’s Oboe Concerto, ‘Haffner’ Symphony and Quartet No. 1 for Piano and Strings.
A play of mirrors featuring composers of the present engaging with those of the past: Webern pays tribute to Bach, Adès to Couperin, and Eötvös to Mozart, whose delightful ‘Haffner’ Symphony is the programme finale.
