The haunting strains of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 have long passed into film legend for their use in Bo Widerberg’s Elvira Madigan (1967), but this rich and subtle concerto has many other special qualities: a sublime wit, a shining brilliance and a tremendous humanity.
Dvořák’s Seventh is not simply one of the Czech master’s most popular works: in it he strives most fervently for the kind of power and concentration of expression of which Beethoven was the master.
Although on paper its massive forces (including 12 trumpets) suggests a militaristic might, the overriding impression left by Janáček’s Sinfonietta is of joy and light.
