Swedish Chamber Orchestra / Hallenberg / Fröst »Mozart in Prag« by Mozart, Dl. 13 Febr. 2023, De (2023/2023), Director musical Martin Fröst, Wiener Konzerthaus, Vienna, Austria

This rumored exclamation by Mozart beautifully illustrates the composer's warm connection to the "Golden City", where he celebrated legendary triumphs in the last years of his life. The two concerts by the Swedish Chamber Orchestra commemorate this heyday of the genius in the Moldova metropolis with music that was all premiered there. The opening with the legendary »Don Giovanni« overture, which is said to have been played from the wet sheet when it premiered in Prague in 1787, seems almost inevitable, Mozart was so quick to write it down. Two Swedish star soloists break away from the orchestral bracket with the darkly sparkling »Prague Symphony«: mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg and master clarinettist Martin Fröst.
