Praising the Lord
2nd First Night Subscription Concert
Works by Webern and Mozart
The great Mass in C minor is perhaps Mozart’s grandest sacred work. Sylvain Cambreling, known for dissonant and suggestive programming, pairs this tour de force by the mature Mozart with the little G minor symphony written by the then 16-year-old composer, and Anton Webern’s well-known arrangement from the Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen worked together with Sylvain Cambreling in 2014 – fittingly at the Vienna Festival – in Mozart’s opera ›Cosi fan tutte‹ in the acclaimed production by Oscar-winning director Michael Haneke. Soprano Anett Fritsch was also part of the ensemble of these performances.
