About
The Wiener Philharmoniker and Franz Welser-Möst open a prestigious season with a symphonic programme that perfectly showcases the skill of this exceptional orchestra. Mozart’s Symphony No. 38, “Prague”, elegantly balances the different instrument families in an expressive manner that is almost theatrical or even vocal. This will be set in counterpoint to Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” with its melancholic waltz and frenetic march that draws to a close like an undeclared requiem. The Viennese orchestra have elevated these two works to great heights over the years.
