Work:: English Chamber Orchestra (S33515822)

Production:: (T0953635331)

The masked stranger, the mysterious commission, the dying Mozart frantically composing as his life ebbed away... if you've seen the play or film Amadeus, you'll know the legend behind Mozart's Requiem. But the reality is even more incredible - music's greatest genius comes to terms with the ultimate mystery of human existence, and finds sorrow, courage and deep compassion, then pours it all out in music of unforgettable beauty and power. The University of Warwick's own Chamber Choir, under Director of Music Paul McGrath, join the English Chamber Orchestra for one of the high points of our season. First, though, McGrath and ECO celebrate the work of two of Mozart's greatest 20th century fans. On the eve of the Second World War, B?la Bart?k wrote a Divertimento that channelled the spirit of Mozart for an age of anxiety. Britten's Simple Symphony reworks the tunes he hummed at school into a mini-masterpiece of irresistible freshness - tongue firmly in cheek.
