Live from the Queen's Hall, Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A and Piano Concerto No 12.

Live from the Queen's Hall, musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra perform Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A and Piano Concerto No 12.

Now in his tenth year as music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin will be appearing with them on four occasions across the 2022 Edinburgh International Festival. For this performance, he is joined by musicians from the orchestra in an intimate, all-Mozart recital which starts with one of the earliest and best-known works written for the clarinet. The Clarinet Quintet in A K.581 was the only quintet for the instrument that Mozart wrote and its beautiful, lyrical melodies have ensured that it is enduringly popular.

After the interval, the musicians of The Philadelphia Orchestra are joined by their music director in Mozart’s graceful Piano Concerto No 12, K.414. Though written for a sophisticated Viennese audience in 1872, it contains a heartfelt and personal quotation in the second movement to his former teacher, Johann Christian Bach, who died earlier in that year.
