MOZART Symphony No. 38, “Prague”
MOZART “Great” Mass in C minor
Our Mozart Festival opens with the “Prague” Symphony No. 38, composed on the heels of The Marriage of Figaro‘s tremendous success. Rich in complex subtleties and lyrical sophistication, it spans a full spectrum of emotion. Mozart’s unfinished “Great” Mass in C minor—his most exalted and personal work—was deeply influenced by the Baroque traditions of Bach and Handel. Its original movements journey from somber to soaring, with later 20th-century revisions completing the piece.
