VIENNA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Petr Popelka, Conductor
Mao Fujita, Piano
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in C major, No. 21, KV 467
Franz Schubert: Symphony No. 8 in C major, D. 944, The Great
Petr Popelka, a Czech conductor of the younger generation, is increasingly well-known in Europe. His conducting style was also recognized by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, which appointed him chief conductor, thereby placing Popelka in the company of distinguished predecessors – from Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan to Fabio Luisi and Philippe Jordan.
The Czech Viennese is coming to Zagreb with his Viennese orchestra and an equally Viennese programme – Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 and Schubert’s last completed symphony, which is numbered differently across sources. The Zagreb audience will hear the young Japanese pianist Mao Fujita as the soloist. Four years ago, the Sony label released an album of Mozart’s complete piano sonatas performed by him; since then, Mao Fujita has been recognized as one of the most relevant living interpreters of Mozart’s works.
One of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous piano concertos was composed in 1785, when the composer had already been working as an independent artist in the demanding Viennese music market for several years. Thanks to the prominent role of the orchestra, which goes beyond merely accompanying the soloist, the Piano Concerto K. 467 belongs to the group of Mozart’s “symphonic” piano concertos – although it was only in the following work, Piano Concerto No. 22, that the composer would offer a different orchestral colour by introducing the clarinet.
While Mozart composed six more related works after the Concerto in C major, so we can follow how his approach to this musical form developed, Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 in C major is his last completed work of its kind. The four-movement symphony truly justifies its nickname The Great – not only to distinguish it from Schubert’s Symphony No. 6 in the same key. Composed after Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Schubert’s Great is the next step in the symphonic evolution of the nineteenth century; it is a complex four-movement work of musical maturity that surpasses the composer’s young age and is the true swan song of a great artist who passed away prematurely.
