Paavo Järvi | Mozart · Schubert
Programme
Performers
Unfortunately, Gustavo Dudamel had to cancel his participation in our concerts on 15, 16 and 18 January at the Isarphilharmonie for personal reasons. We are delighted that Maestro Paavo Järvi will be taking over for this project. The three concerts will take place as planned under his baton and with the programme remaining unchanged.
Information about the programme
With his Symphony No. 31, Mozart wanted to make an impression in the French capital and thus pulled out all the stops by employing not only timpani and trumpets but also clarinets, flutes, oboes, bassoons, and horns. The magnificent “Paris” symphony provides an effective counterpart to Schubert’s “Great C major” Symphony that follows. At the time, the hour-long symphony was considered too demanding and disappeared into the archives. It was Schumann who rediscovered it and arranged for its premiere. It is almost heartbreaking to realise that Schubert himself never got to hear his wonderful Eighth Symphony. But you, dear audience, will now have that privilege.
