Michael Haydn and Antonio Salieri

An old favourite of the Hungarian audience, the Brit Howard Williams, will occupy the conductor’s podium. The two works in C minor are connected by Mozart: On one hand, Michael Haydn’s work, which premièred in Salzburg, exerted an influence on Wolfgang Amadeus’s incomplete swansong of the same genre, while, one the other, the legacy of Salieri has been tainted by false accusations of a ‘plot’ against his younger colleague. Polina Pasztircsák, Corinna Scheurle, who is part-Hungarian, Martin Mitterrutzner and Konstantin Fedotov will ensure the two superb compositions are suitably uplifting.
