Melbourne Chamber Orchestra
Haydn - Symphony no 70 in D
Bartok - Divertimento
Mozart - Piano concerto no 20 in D minor K 466
A rollicking and genial Haydn symphony hints at the genius of the man who hardly travelled in his lifetime beyond the confines of rural Hungary – and yet was responsible for some of the most astonishing innovations in musical history.
Bartok’s exhilarating string orchestra Divertimento, and Mozart’s only concerto in D minor – a key he reserved for some of his most profound utterances – complete this exploration of great music stemming from Europe’s musical heartland.
