INTERVAL: The Listening Service - Mozart and The Enlightenment
Tom Service considers the ways in which Mozart’s music may have been shaped by the social and rational thinking of the ‘Enlightenment’ philosophies of his day. Ideas which grappled with concepts of liberty, natural law and tolerance and put the human condition centre stage. Tom draws on examples of Mozart's music from both stage and concert hall and his guest expert is opera producer and historian Nicholas Till.

c. 8.30pm
Mozart: Don Giovanni – overture
Mozart: Symphony No. 41 in C major, ‘Jupiter’

The divine and the human appear to co-exist in Mozart’s music. This celebration of the composer’s enduring genius brings ‘peak’ Mozart to the Royal Albert Hall, culminating in the continuous stream of liberated musical joy that is his final symphony, the ‘Jupiter’. Before that, Riccardo Minasi conducts his dynamic Ensemble Resonanz – Resident Ensemble at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie – in a pair of Mozart’s most thrilling overtures alongside the achingly beautiful Sinfonia concertante, a double concerto for violin and viola that offers the warmest of musical embraces.
