Concert For Organ & Orchestra by Mozart, Haydn, Alkaen (2022/2022)

In the eighteenth century classical music, perhaps for the first time in history, left the noble courts and academic circles to spread and meet the favor of the masses. This sudden expansion of the public is accompanied by a radical change of style. Haydn and Mozart perhaps represent the most shining examples of this style, in which the freshness and fantasy of the melodic lines dialogue with a refined and elegant harmony. The concert program gives full prominence to the organ, an instrument naturally linked to sacred music, but capable of a surprising renewal during the eighteenth century, an era in which the severe architecture of the Baroque passed to a more immediate, melodic and singable music. The organ is the protagonist of the church sonatasby Mozart, short pieces of instrumental entertainment that give the instrument a prominence almost as a solo instrument, a prominence then highlighted and developed in the Haydn Concerto , a broad and articulated composition in which the organ constantly dialogues with the orchestra. At the conclusion of the concert, a masterpiece of Mozart's early production, the symphony n. 29 in A major, a little jewel of classical serenity.
