The Story of the Symphony Andre Previn with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra leader BARRY GRIFFITHS
In this six-part series Andre Previn conducts some of the most enduring works in the orchestral repertoire and investigates the circumstances that prompted their creation. Tonight's programme includes symphonies by Haydn (No 87) and Mozart (No 39).
'Both men,' says Previn, 'lived through a period when the role of the composer was changing fundamentally -from court entertainer to creative artist - the difference between a servant in a grand household and an individual with a personal and committed voice.
'Sounds Magnificent examines that category of personal statement. It is tied up with the growth of the orchestra itself. It finds its most magnificent and powerful expression in that strange phenomenon we call "the symphony".
'But where did that burning creativity come from? Take Mozart - how could such unparalleled and inexhaustible genius be compressed into one mortal man, blue eyes, light brown hair, five-feet-four? All his life Mozart was an itinerant musician. As a child he had been touted around Europe by his father, displayed like a circus act. Compare that with Haydn, resident composer to one of the richest families in Europe, working in a palace so isolated, he said, that he was "forced to be original" '

3: Pauline Welch
"'I am like my mother," I heard myself saying after her funeral, and suddenly the floodgates were open....'
From early teens, Pauline had begun to reject her mother and her trivial domestic concerns, identifying instead with the more powerful figure of her father. It was only as she watched her mother dying slowly of cancer that she was able to see her for the first time through unblinkered eyes.
In finally recognising the similarities between them and admitting her pride in her mother, Pauline discovered in herself a new wholeness and completeness.
