Programme Note
One of the worlds great musical multi-taskers, the charismatic Jörg Widmann is renowned as a composer, clarinet soloist and conductor. He takes on all three roles in this concert, which features music by another multi-talented musician, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
We open with Widmann conducting the London premiere of his Ikarische Klage ' Icarus’ Lament ' the ultimate cautionary tale of ambition outstripping ability.
Widmann then turns soloist in Mozarts sublime Clarinet Concerto, and ends the evening conducting the LCO in Mozarts ebulliently life-affirming final symphony, the Jupiter.
