Performers and Cast

Robin Ticciati OBE

Mozart's last three symphonies were written in a few weeks in summer 1788, unusually without performances already arranged. They make a satisfying triptych, with the relatively serene no. 39 contrasting with the more agitated and unsettled no. 40.

The final symphony sums up Mozart's achievement in the form, with a spacious opening movement, an expressive and chromatic slow movement, and one of his most famous minuets.

The finale effortlessly combines fugue and sonata form in a five-part tour de force of pure joy.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association.

Reviews

Ticciati, perhaps the most spiritual as well as naturally gifted of the younger conductors, drew playing of endlessly fascinating precision
