Few orchestras can claim such close links to Mozart as the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra. Mozart’s widow, Constanza, formed the orchestra in 1841 to mark the 50th anniversary of Mozart’s death and since then it has celebrated his genius. Their programme includes two concertos in one concert, as well as two great symphonies, the youthful, high-spirited No 34 and the tragic No 40.
Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall says of tonight’s recommended concert:
“Symphony No 34 was written by Mozart during a difficult period in his life. His mother had died, he’d been spurned by the woman he loved and he was working in Salzburg for an Archbishop who didn’t really appreciate the genius he had under his roof.”
