Freiburger Barockorchester / Kristian Bezuidenhout

In Miloš Forman’s well-known film Amadeus, actor Tom Hulce plays Mozart as a robust, scatological party animal. The cheery composer drags himself from one excess to another. The Freiburger Barockorchester doesn’t dwell on this fiction, and in our Blue Hall organises a more realistic Mozartian celebration. With two works from a period in which the composer was forced to bid farewell to his position among the high-born Salzburg nobility and began to write more for the well-to-do bourgeoisie. In his Sinfonia Concertante, two string players lead the dance. With this work filled with typical classical crescendos, the Dutch violinist Cecilia Bernardini and German violist Corina Golomoz transport you at a stroke back to the late 18th century. For the Concerto for Two Pianos, Sebastian Wienand and conductor Kristian Bezuidenhout sit at the keys themselves.
