Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Concerto in A major, K.622
(Interval)
Franz Schubert: Symphony no. 6 in C, D.589
A light-footed and vivacious Rossini overture sets the tone for this lovely evening concert. The centrepiece is Mozart’s perennially popular Clarinet Concerto, with Julian Bliss making a much-anticipated return to the Festival. Schubert’s youthful Sixth Symphony, known as the ‘Little C major’, is its perfect companion. Discover this truly charming work as it trips between echoes of Beethoven (in its grand opening and Scherzo), Haydn and the Rossini craze of the day.
