Mozart & Spohr

Mozart’s Piano Quintet, composed in 1784 on the eve of his most creative period, is one of his most remarkable works. In fact, he himself described it as “the best thing I have written in my life”, although perhaps he should have said “my life so far”! Regardless, this piece – written for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon – combines sumptuous melodies with brilliant instrumentation. Each instrument is given the opportunity to shine, while the piano brings everything together into a warm, harmonious whole. The programme continues with Nonet, a piece by the lesser-known but no less fascinating composer Louis Spohr: a masterpiece of chamber musical dialogue, in which strings and wind alternately support and challenge each other with sophisticated melodies and dazzling rhythms. 

New in season 25/26: The Residentie Orkest is performing this concert in a 360° setup.
