Concerto Copenhagen – Mozart Bassoon Concerto – Jane Gower

“He is the father, we are the boys. Those of us who can do anything right have learned from him.” Words of deep admiration. Mozart is said to have bowed to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach with these words. In fact, the fame of Bach’s son in Mozart’s time far outshone that of his father, who is far more famous today. Mozart also studied his father’s works with great interest, as they were so different from what had influenced him musically: experimental, uncompromising, direct and expressive. With Haydn, Mozart and Bach, Concerto Copenhagen confronts southern and northern German sound worlds of the mid-18th century. All the works on the program were composed at exactly the same time and yet present such different perspectives. Who will succeed with the most surprising sound experiment? Hard to decide when Concerto Copenhagen performs the works of these contemporaries in a timeless manner with verve and a great sense for colourful interpretations.
