About this event

A classical program par excellence. Beethoven’s dramatic Coriolan Overture is followed by one of Mozart’s great piano concertos, the C minor K. 491, the 14th of his 17 contributions to the genre, composed in Vienna between 1781 and 1791—one of the most astonishing and forward-looking among them. The orchestral scoring with clarinets, trumpets, and timpani is the largest Mozart ever used for an instrumental concerto. Beethoven was particularly fond of the piece, performed it often, and drew inspiration from it for his own symphonic concertos. After the interval, Beethoven appears first as an early Romantic with a melodious Romance for violin, before Joseph Haydn’s so-called “Oxford” Symphony—written in 1789 for Paris and later used as a sounding dissertation for the conferral of an honorary doctorate in Oxford—provides another highlight. The work could be called “The Art of Contrasts”; contrasts, however, that are always brought together with alert mastery into a perfectly rounded whole.
