Mozart’s last year and the Requiem

Danny Riley, 2nd October

Mozart’s final months and Requiem mass are a source of popular fascination. But was 1791 really his annus horribilis?

Alban Gerhardt steals the show in Haydn with the Auckland Philharmonia

Simon Holden, 12th September

While this concert’s marketing was focused on Mozart’s Requiem, it was Haydn in the first half that made the greater impact, in the form of an ecstatically virtuosic performance of his Cello Concerto no. 1 with soloist Alban Gerhardt. Passagework was everywhere immaculately tuned and played with perfect dexterity, Gerhardt’s fingers dancing up and down the instrument with tremendous velocity.
