Chamber Concert III: “Counterpart Mozart & Salieri”

Mozarteum University Salzburg

Antonio Salieri does not enjoy a good reputation in the music world: according to a centuries-old legend, he was a jealous rival who even poisoned Mozart. Miloš Forman’s film Amadeus also depicts Salieri as a mediocre, scheming composer. Yet during his lifetime, he was highly successful – and a genuinely likeable person. But is his work truly on a par with Mozart’s? Find out for yourself! Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker set two of Salieri’s string quartets against Mozart’s chamber music works, including the splendid Horn Quintet. A fascinating listening experience at the crossroads of myth and reality.

Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles Mozart versus Salieri

Berliner Philharmonie

“All aboard!” – Paul and his friend Lily set sail. They discover a sunken island, a ship among the stars, a city on the sea, and a golden fish which reveals to them the secrets of the deep. Boris Friedewald’s story Paul’s Journey to the Fish is inspired by the colourful marine paintings of Paul Klee – as is Sándor Veress’s sonorous Hommage à Paul Klee. Rufus Beck’s reading, Klee’s paintings, and music by Veress combine to form a magical meeting of storytelling, art, and music. Immerse yourself in this fascinating world of fiction, colour, and sound!
