★★★★½ “… AHE never fails to enchant, surprise and offer music that transcends time and space.” – Limelight, 2024Featuring MOZART'S JUPITER SYMPHONY
In this concert, AHE invites you to explore both sides of Mozart’s mercurial nature, and to marvel that a device designed to frighten wolves creates such glowing music.
Mozart loved the horn, and the finest player of the day, Joseph Leutgeb, was an old friend of the family. Mozart wrote what would become one of the most enduringly popular horn concertos of all time for his friend. Characterised as a “little love duet” between horn and violin, this work is a joyous expression of their friendship, superbly performed by renowned soloist Carla Blackwood.
AHE balances this bright, period-instrument cornucopia with a movement from perhaps the most emotionally troubled work that Mozart ever wrote: the String Quintet in G minor, a rare dark utterance from a steadfastly undepressed artist.
There’s a happy end, of course, with the exuberant energy of the 'Jupiter' symphony, here in an historical chamber arrangement by Peter Lichtenthal.
