Mozart never completed his Great Mass in C minor. But what he managed to write is among his most beautiful and magnificent music. At the first performance, his wife Constanze was one of the sopranos and sang the divinely beautiful aria "Et incarnatus est", an aria that makes time stand still. In the Concert Hall, it will be the American soprano Liv Redpath, who has previously impressed with her unusually clear voice.

Baroque specialist Nicholas McGegan curates a heartwarming Christmas program, featuring excerpts from the festive Music for the Royal Fireworks. Georg Friedrich Händel composed this suite to commemorate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, ending the War of Austrian Succession. Soprano Sunhae Im delights with her satin voice in perhaps the most famous baroque aria: the poignant and immortal Lascia ch’io pianga. Engaging in dialogue with jubilant trumpets, Im performs arias by Bach and Händel. Stepping briefly outside the Baroque, Franz Schubert allows the renowned soprano to converse with the clarinet. Michael Haydn, Joseph's younger brother, paints a charming Christmas scene with his Pastorello. Begin the festive season with baroque splendor in the comfortable ambiance and sparkling acoustics of the Queen Elisabeth Hall.

This concert brings together two masterpieces that were both composed in 1786. Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 86 in D major is one of the six symphonies that the composer was commissioned to write by a Parisian concert organiser. According to musicologist H. C. Robbins Landon, the 86th Symphony, with its unusually free slow movement, is one of Haydn’s best works. Mozart’s Prague Symphony, written in the same year, is another pinnacle of the classical period. It is remarkably innovative, particularly in the composer’s jettisoning of the traditional minuet movement. The symphony also shares many features with the opera »The Marriage of Figaro«, which was composed at the same time.

»I love conducting so much that I absolutely have to do it.« Ruth Reinhardt realised this when she was 16 and her career today proves her right. Born in Saarbrücken, she completed her studies in Zurich, Leipzig and New York – and is now one of the up-and-coming female conductors who regularly perform with orchestras around the world. The young artist is especially praised for her versatility, her dynamic performances, her musical intelligence and her unorthodox choice of works. Her Bamberg debut is also a proof of this, as she leads us through some exciting repertoire: two pieces by Paul Hindemith – a modern composer who is particularly favoured by our guest conductor – set the scene. His provocative Ragtime from 1921 combines a Bach fugue with jazz elements, while the symphony »Mathis der Maler« portrays the inner and outer struggles of an eminent Renaissance artist in a colourful way. In between, the musical journey goes back 150 years to the Viennese classical period: to the time of Haydn, who liked to combine the highest standards with humour and popular elements in his symphonies. At the request of our solo cellist Marius Urba, a concerto for cello and wind orchestra composed in 1980 will also be performed, a wild ride through various genres: it was written by Friedrich Gulda, who was regarded as an enfant terrible in the classical music business. The audience is in for a colourful concert with a wide variety of ingredients and flavours. But as Ruth Reinhardt once said about her musical experiments, which might just come from a hot and sizzling witch’s kitchen – and have become her trademark: »I always like concert programmes that have contrasts!«

This year the music world is celebrating not only Bruckner's 200th birthday, but also the 200th birthday of Bedřich Smetana. In the tragic life of the Bohemian composer, the death of his four-year-old daughter was a devastating event. The G minor piano trio, which was written immediately after the family catastrophe, is the painful expression of a grieving father. Joseph Haydn wrote not only his famous last symphonies in London, but also important chamber music. He composed the light-footed C major piano trio for the London-based German pianist Therese Jansen, who was praised for her flawless technique. A sculptor friend of the composer said of Bohuslav Martinů's first piano trio, which has the subtitle "Cinq pièces brèves", that it sounded as if it had been "carved from marble" - a description that Martinů found "very fitting". South of Prague, high above the Vltava River, stands Vyšehrad, the fortress mountain that is the subject of numerous myths and legends. Josef Suk created a special homage to Vyšehrad with his Elegy op. 23. The solemn piece served as a prelude to a tableau vivant, a "living picture" in which actors in frozen poses depicted the sunset at Vyšehrad.

As the TSO’s Artist in Residence, Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa will perform TWO concertos, juxtaposing classic Haydn with the recent Divided by Jessie Montgomery. The composer describes Divided as a response to the social and political unrest of the recent past, the sense of helplessness people feel in a world that seems in constant crisis. By contrast, Brahms’ sunny second symphony closes the program, composed in the summer of 1877 surrounded by the beauty and quiet of the Austrian countryside.

Troubled and troubling, Mozart’s D minor Piano Concerto leans into the same glowering unease that would stalk his smouldering Overture to Don Giovanni two years later. The A major Concerto on the other hand can’t help smiling and dispenses sunshine as well as reassurance ahead of Haydn’s effervescent symphonic farewell to his time in London. Don’t be thrown off the scent by the solemn opening.

With its swashbuckling self-confidence, self-mocking humour and a positively steamy love scene, this 'Hero’s Life' is very much the world according to R Strauss – an exuberant, off-the-scale showpiece for the BBC Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Hannu Lintu, making a much-anticipated return. 

And that’s not even the half of it: Lintu opens the concert with a vision of paradise, originally created for the Vienna Philharmonic by the brilliant young Canadian composer Samy Moussa. Then it’s the turn of the BBC Symphony Chorus and a starry line up of solo singers in Haydn’s Nelson Mass: sacred music written in a time of war, with all the power and drama of a great opera.

Ruth Reinhardt, “an elegant, versatile and committed conductor in the search for expressive colors” (Scherzo), helms this program, which includes Haydn’s Symphony No. 80 —too often overlooked, this turbulent music turns storms to sunlight. The winds sparkle in Hindemith’s enduring Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber; this music was originally sketched as a ballet, and its four distinctive movements maintain a catchy sense of choreography. (Weber gets a chance to speak for himself at the top of the program, through the Overture to his fantastical opera Oberon.) Beethoven’s expressive Third Piano Concerto ranks as some of his finest music; Alessio Bax, whom Gramophone considers to be “clearly among the most remarkable young pianists now before the public,” opens with this gem.

The first programme also includes Britten’s Second Quartet, given its première at tonight’s venue on 21 November 1945 in a concert marking the exact 250th anniversary of the death of Purcell: its third movement is a Chacony (similar to the passacaglia), a form particularly close to the Baroque composer’s heart.

Bernard Labadie marks his first performances with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra in this program of life-affirming energy, grandeur and strength with works by three giants of Western classical music, all written in the influential last decade of the 18th century. A pair of glorious and masterful operatic overtures open each half of the program, both written by Mozart within weeks of one another in the fall of 1791, and just a couple of months before his untimely death. Beethoven’s first piano concerto is performed by Jonathan Biss (“one of today's foremost Beethoven exponents” – Chicago Tribune), and the program closes with Haydn’s Symphony No. 103 – his second to last – nicknamed the “Drum Roll” for its powerful and mysterious opening.

Joseph Haydn was as popular with his musicians for his humor and political savviness as he was for his genre-defining symphonies. The ‘Morning’ symphony pairs Classical form with Baroque virtuosity. Osvaldo Golijov has been one of contemporary music’s most important voices since his La Pasión según San Marcos sent shockwaves across the globe. These songs feature his hallmark blending of musical styles from around the world and will be brought to life by the School of Music’s own Meredith Johnson. Elgar’s masterpiece has earned its place at the core of the symphonic literature with lush beauty, seamless craftsmanship and a beguiling story.

The music at this concert is "real" Viennese classics". Vienna was Europe's musical stronghold and melting pot in the latter part of the 18th century. Here, a new musical style emerged that, compared to the Italian Baroque and Rococo of the past, was less elaborate and more simple and expressive. All the music we know and practice today as "classical music" has its roots there.
