Wiener Symphoniker

In the organizer's words:

The Frankfurter Rundschau was impressed by the "quietest quietness" when Jan Lisiecki played Grieg's piano concerto. And then came "the pomp of film music" - the Canadian pianist can do that too. With this showpiece from the Nordic pen, he conjures up summer for a moment in the Baden autumn. How does this fit in with Mozart? Quite simply: the Norwegian late Romantic paid the greatest respect to the "love of his childhood". And he wittily arranged some of Mozart's classics to underline this respect. Jupiter writes a fugue Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's last symphony, in C major, K. 551, has been nicknamed "Jupiter" since the beginning of the 19th century. It possibly owes this name to a British publisher, perhaps a Salzburg concert organizer or Mozart's son Franz-Xaver, who wrote about it. Either way, the composition, also known succinctly as the "Symphony with the final fugue", is perhaps the best that 18th century symphonic music produced. The fact that the Vienna Symphony Orchestra is bringing this symphony to Baden can be seen as a special gift.
