Mozart and Beethoven
The Piano Concerto K 466, written in 1785, is the first of two that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed in a minor key. The key of D minor, which stands for great drama in Mozart's music, unites the concerto with the Requiem and »Don Giovanni«. When the Basel Symphony Orchestra, one of the oldest orchestras in Switzerland, performs the D minor concerto under the baton of chief conductor Ivor Bolton, the Viennese pianist Till Fellner will provide solo brilliance. Beethoven loved the work, often performed it himself and composed his own cadenzas. On the same evening, his music for the ballet »The Creatures of Prometheus« by Salvatore Viganò will also be performed with texts by Alain Claude Sulzer on the Prometheus myth, which will be read by Tobias Moretti.
