A masterwork from a prodigiously gifted composer who shaped the music of his lifetime and centuries thereafter. In his Requiem, Mozart summoned all the fire and brimstone hell could hold, making ominously real the awful majesty of death and the miracle of redemption.
Named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her gifts to music, English conductor Jane Glover is a musicologist, a renowned Mozart specialist who brings a deep understanding of his music to her performances. Her palpable joy in Mozart’s music is abundantly apparent: “each work engaged the ear with stylish interpretation as well as with the profound humanity that colors Mozart’s music ... getting directly into the heart of each moment of this miraculous music. Following lengthy ovations by the audience, the orchestra awarded Glover her own bow” (Chicago Classical Review).
Bold and brilliant, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 is a cyclone of dramatic energy that leaves listeners on the edge of their seats. (April 10–12 performances only.)
