Performance Notes | The story of Mozarts last months is almost as remarkable as the string of masterpieces he produced during them. Who was the cloaked figure rumoured to have commissioned Mozart to write the Requiem? Well never know, but the deathly tread, furious fight and radiant hope of the music remain unparalleled. Iván Fischer brings his equally exceptional Budapest Festival Orchestra to the Proms, joined by one of Europes leading choirs for the Requiem, alongside the autumnal shades of Mozarts late Clarinet Concerto.
Broadcast later on BBC Four.
Neal Davies, who was ill, was replaced by Hanno Müller-Brachmann. |
