About the Programme

Vienna is a capital of not only a former empire, but -as that’s well-known among music lovers- one of the capitals of music as well. In this city lived and worked Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a few decades later Johannes Brahms: the genius of the Viennese classics and a romantic master, one of the most consistently diligent in taking the legacy of the ancestors.  In the programme, works by the two well-known authors are to meet each other. The four-movement-long Little Night Music (Serenade in G major), penned about at the same time as the Don Giovanni, is cheerful and shiny piece, according to the genre; however, it is not without wit that is characteristic of Mozartian chamber music. Brahms’s Symphony differs from that piece in almost all parameters; it is a grandiose orchestral works, lyrical, exiting, and heroic at the same time.
Besides Vienna, Salzburg is also an important place in music history: the town at the Alpine foothills is Mozart's birthplace. Few people know, however, that a third master, Joseph Haydn's younger brother, Michael, who was also a composer, lived and worked here, too. This time, you can hear two movements from his Serenade in D major.
