Mozart's Clarinet Concerto rubs shoulders with the endangered bassoon.

In a performance directed from the violin by Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment leader Matthew Truscott, the Orchestra performs a trio of Mozart works.

Hear Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, a piece that regularly tops lists of the best-loved classical music, alongside a brand new piece for the bassoon. The basson is vital but often overlooked member of the Orchestra and this is a rare chance to hear its distinctive timbres in a showcase concerto.

Mozart’s muse: Anton Stadler and the basset clarinet

Mark Pullinger, 2nd May

If it wasn't for Anton Stadler, would Mozart have been inspired to write such great works for the clarinet, giving the instrument a new place in the spotlight?

Winds of Change: a new bassoon concerto

Mark Pullinger, 8th May

It's likely that Mozart never actually heard his Clarinet Concerto performed. That fate, happily, has not been shared by Michael Gordon, who has heard Peter Whelan perform his new bassoon concerto Observations on Air four times this week.
