“In the rising of a symphony there is something divine, something similar to creation itself." (Leonard Bernstein) Life is in constant transformation and the world in constant change – and so, too, is the history of music! When eight-year-old Mozart composed his first symphonic work in 1764, the late baroque was transitioning to the classical era. The symphony was in the process of emancipating itself from its origins in the overture to Neapolitan opera. In this concert, our orchestra will perform two early symphonies by Mozart, who once said, "Creation emerges as in a pleasant and lively dream." Conductor Fabio Biondi specialises in bringing rare works to the stage, and thus this programme will feature works seldom heard from his native Italy. The Milanese composer Carlo Monza was highly regarded during his lifetime, but only a few of his pieces have been rediscovered to date. One of these is the striking Sinfonia "La tempesta di mare" of 1784, where the music condenses into a veritable storm. Giuseppe Sammartini was likewise born in Milan and later worked in London, where he was considered one of the greatest oboists of his day. His popular instrumental concertos were said to be "full of science, originality and fire". The talented Niccoló Jommelli came from Naples, but was successful beyond Italy’s borders. His opera symphonies in particular were considered exemplary and were widely disseminated as independent works from 1750 onwards. Our programme will end with a composition by another famous Wunderkind: in 1824, at the age of just 15, Mendelssohn wrote his extravagantly romantic C minor Symphony – an astonishing creation of which it was said: "New, beautiful, original. Spirit, flow, calm, melodiousness, wholeness, drama."

»Im Wachsen einer Symphonie liegt etwas Göttliches, etwas der Schöpfung selbst Ähnliches.« (Leonard Bernstein) Nicht nur das Leben ist in ständiger Verwandlung und die Welt in stetiger Veränderung, sondern auch die Musikgeschichte. Als der achtjährige Mozart 1764 seinen symphonischen Erstling komponierte, steckte die Gattung in einem heftig florierenden Prozess beim Übergang vom Spätbarock zur Klassik: Sie emanzipierte sich gerade erst von ihren Ursprüngen – der Ouvertüre zur neapolitanischen Oper. Wir spielen zwei der Jugendsymphonien von Mozart, der einst meinte: »Die Schöpfung kommt herauf wie in einem angenehmen und lebhaften Traum.« Unter der Leitung des Raritäten-Spezialisten Fabio Biondi erklingen ebenso selten zu hörende Werke aus seiner italienischen Heimat: Der Mailänder Carlo Monza war zwar zu Lebzeiten ein hochgeschätzter Komponist, doch nur wenige Stücke konnten wiederentdeckt werden – darunter die Sinfonia »La tempesta di mare« von 1784, in der sich die Musik zu einem veritablen Sturm verdichtet. Der 1695 in Mailand geborene und später in London wirkende Komponist Giuseppe Sammartini galt als einer der größten Oboisten. Über seine beliebten Instrumentalkonzerte hieß es, sie seien »voller Wissenschaft, Originalität und Feuer«. Der talentierte Niccoló Jommelli stammte aus Neapel, war aber auch außerhalb Italiens erfolgreich – besonders mit seinen als vorbildlich charakterisierten Opern-Sinfonien, die als selbständige Werke seit 1750 weite Verbreitung fanden. Zum Abschluss dann die Komposition eines wie Mozart berühmten Wunderkindes: 1824 schrieb Mendelssohn mit gerade 15 Jahren seine hochromantische c-Moll-Symphonie – eine erstaunliche Kreation, über die es hieß: »Neues, Schönes, Eigenes. Geist, Fluss, Ruhe, Wohlklang, Ganzheit, Dramatisches.«
