Simon Callaghan and the London Mozart Players |
Pianist Simon Callaghan (artistic director of Conway Hall Sunday Concerts) joins principal players from the London Mozart Players to perform Vinzenz Lachner's arrangement of Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor Op. 37 . The programme is completed by Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik K525, Bottesini's Elegy No.1 in D and Haydn's Symphony No. 102 in B flat Hob. I/102.
GIovanni Bottesini's Elegy was originally for double-bass and piano, and was written just a year before Bottesini (1821-1889) conducted the premiere of Verdi's Aida in Cairo!
Haydn's Symphony No. 102 is the 10th of Haydn's 12 London symphonies. Completed in 1794, it is from a group of symphonies written in Vienna for Haydn's second London visit and it is now believed by many scholars to be the symphony at the premiere of which a chandelier fell from the ceiling of the concert hall in which it was performed.
