Season 1:
Charles Hazlewood continues his exploration of Mozart's music with an in-depth 'deconstruction' of the work which opens the BBC Two series. It was one of a set of concerti which the composer wrote whilst he was in Vienna in 1782 at the height of his powers, and contains some strikingly innovative writing for the fortepiano. It is Mozart wanting to impress his father, who came to hear this particular concerto, and whom Mozart had not seen for over two years.
Charles Hazlewood continues his exploration of Mozart's music with an in-depth 'deconstruction' of one the composer's last three great symphonies. Mozart composed Symphony No. 39 whilst he was in Prague in 1788, only a year after the death of his father Leopold.
Charles Hazlewood continues his exploration of Mozart's music with an in-depth 'deconstruction' of one the composer's last three great symphonies, and one of his most enduring and popular works. Mozart composed Symphony No. 40 in 1788, and its tragic suggestiveness and deeply personal writing seem to form a climax to his orchestral output.
