| Performance Notes | Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, François-Xavier Roths award-winning orchestra Les Siècles presents music from sonic pioneer György Ligeti alongside two late works by Mozart pieces separated by two centuries, but united by the spirit of revolution.
Unperformed until 1971, Ligetis vibrant Concert Românesc (Romanian Concerto) is a light-footed celebration of Romanian folk music real and invented. His Violin Concerto performed here with German soloist Isabelle Faust is one of the most original of any age, while Mozarts final symphony, the Jupiter, with its astonishing finale, is the last word on the genre from a master innovator. Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov is the soloist in Mozarts Piano Concerto No. 23.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. |
