Mozart & Haydn from John Eliot Gardiner & English Baroque Soloists by Haydn, Mozart, De (2023/2023), Regente John Eliot Gardiner, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Londres, Reino Unido

Mozart with his imagination on fire, and Haydn at the top of his game. Classical sunshine on a January night from John Eliot Gardiner and the English Baroque Players. Some works of art defy words. Caught out at short notice, Mozart wrote his Linz symphony in a hotel room in four days flat: the result is a sunburst of genius at its most unbuttoned. And no-one knows why he wrote his Sinfonia Concertante at all, merely that he never wrote anything more heartfelt, or more noble. Who better to perform it today than virtuosos of the calibre (and the insight) of Isabelle Faust Antoine Tamestit? And who better to support them than John Eliot Gardiner and the English Baroque Players? They open with an exuberant symphony from Mozart’s great friend and mentor, Joseph Haydn
