Mozart in Croydon: Anna Prohaska and Imogen Cooper join the London Mozart Players. 

The London Mozart Players at 75. Soprano Anna Prohaska and pianists Imogen Cooper and Martin James Bartlett re-create Mozart's celebrated March 1783 concert in Vienna's Burgtheater

The London Mozart Players at 75.

The popular chamber orchestra presents Mozart: The Mixtape, as the players are joined at Croydon's Fairfield Halls by the celebrated Viennese soprano Anna Prohaska, the Vienna-trained pianist Imogen Cooper and young British pianist Martin James Bartlett as they re-create Mozart's celebrated March 1783 in Vienna's Burgtheater: "Vienna, 22 March 1783 . . . Tonight the famous Herr Chevalier Mozart held a musical concert in the National Theatre, at which pieces of his already highly admired composition were performed. The concert was honoured with an exceptionally large concourse, and the two new concertos and other fantasies which Herr M. played on the fortepiano were received with the loudest applause. Our Monarch, who against his habit attended the whole of the concert, as well as the entire audience, accorded him such unanimous applause as has never been heard of here." 
But Mozart: The Mixtape is a re-creation for our own times: "Imagine this. The year is 1783 and you’re a fashionable Viennese aristocrat, so of course you’ve heard of Mozart, the 27-year-old genius lighting up music halls across the continent. He might even be your piano teacher. Someone tells you that he’s got something new planned, so you show up to the palace theatre in your newest ‘fit. As the concert starts, you note that the Emperor is in attendance – a good sign. If you could, you’d livetweet the whole thing. It features many of Mozart’s greatest hits including the “Haffner” Symphony and Piano Concertos No.13 and No.5."
