In this concert we meet the mature Mozart at the height of his powers.
Hearing its exquisite slow music, it's hard to credit that he created
the Linz symphony in just four days; Mozart's ability to marry
expediency and brilliance may never have borne more astounding results.
Incomplete though it may be (like his Requiem), the C minor mass remains
one of the pinnacles of sacred music in the classical era. Tender,
epic, profound and beautiful, it is a magnificent achievement even by
Mozart's lofty standards. To conduct it the MSO and Chorus welcome one
of the world's leading early music scholars, Masaaki Suzuki, founder of
Bach Collegium Japan, and an outstanding cast of soloists.
