The powerful Great Mass in C Minor reveals Mozart at the height of his brilliance, mercurial as ever as he confronts formidable themes with fantastic writing.
A work of mysterious origins, the Great Mass is a layered, shimmering tapestry. Moods shift constantly, sometimes dazzling, sometimes movingly sombre. It’s a soul wrestling with what it means to be alive.
Conductor Masaaki Suzuki, an expert in choral repertoire, negotiates this enormous work with a striking vision, allowing us to connect with this music of transcendent beauty.
In contrast, enjoy the sparkling wit of Mozart’s gripping Overture from Don Giovanni – a story of a young playboy who ends up in hell. Together with his Linz Symphony, this program offers an unforgettable glimpse of Mozart’s irrepressible genius.
