Concert dedicated to Mozart featuring the Sinfonia Concertante and Symphony No. 39, performed by the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Pedro Neves.

Full details

What better Christmas gift than a program entirely dedicated to Mozart, revealing two complementary sides of his genius? This concert opens with the Sinfonia Concertante, K.364, composed in Salzburg in the summer of 1779, after returning from a trip to Paris and in a context of growing tension between the composer and Archbishop Colloredo. This hybrid work between symphony and double concerto stands out for the equal dialogue between violin and viola. Mozart gives the viola a particularly bright sonority, requiring a slightly higher tuning than usual, a device that enhances its presence against the orchestral ensemble. The first movement, Allegro maestoso, dazzles with an abundance of melodic ideas. The Andante, in C minor, evokes the expressive gravity of the operatic genre. Finally, the Presto recovers, in the rhythm of a contradance, a spirited and refined joy. This is followed by Symphony No. 39, K.543 (1788), written in Vienna during a period of financial difficulties, which delayed its public premiere. The orchestration replaces oboes with clarinets, giving the work a more velvety and autumnal color. The slow and solemn introduction, unusual for Mozart, prepares an Allegro of pastoral serenity. The Andante con moto reveals progressive elaborations of texture. The Menuetto stands out for a trio where the clarinet takes on an unforgettable melodic role. The Finale, almost monothematic, pays homage to Haydn with rhythmic cunning and subtle humor. Under the sure baton of Pedro Neves, violinist Ana Pereira, violist Joana Cipriano and the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra offer an encounter with Mozart's instrumental maturity: a concert where expressive depth and lightness of spirit coexist in perfect balance.

Show original (Portuguese)

Que melhor presente de Natal do que um programa inteiramente dedicado a Mozart, revelando duas faces complementares do seu génio? Este concerto abre com a Sinfonia Concertante , K.364, composta em Salzburgo no Verão de 1779, após o regresso de uma viagem a Paris e num contexto de crescente tensão entre o compositor e o Arcebispo Colloredo. Esta obra híbrida entre sinfonia e concerto duplo distingue-se pelo diálogo em pé de igualdade entre o violino e a viola. Mozart confere à viola uma sonoridade particularmente brilhante, requerendo uma afinação ligeiramente mais aguda do que a habitual, um recurso que realça a sua presença face ao conjunto orquestral. O primeiro andamento, Allegro maestoso , deslumbra pela abundância de ideias melódicas. O Andante , em Dó menor, evoca a gravidade expressiva do género operático. Finalmente, o Presto recupera, em ritmo de contradança, uma alegria espirituosa e refinada. Segue-se a Sinfonia n.º 39 , K.543 (1788), escrita em Viena, num período de dificuldades económicas, que adiou a sua estreia pública. A orquestração substitui os oboés por clarinetes, conferindo à obra uma cor mais aveludada e outonal. A introdução lenta e solene, invulgar em Mozart, prepara um Allegro de serenidade pastoril. O Andante con moto revela elaborações progressivas da textura. O Menuetto distingue-se por um trio onde o clarinete assume um protagonismo melódico inesquecível. O Finale , quase monotemático, homenageia Haydn com astúcia rítmica e humor subtil. Sob a batuta segura de Pedro Neves, a violinista Ana Pereira, a violetista Joana Cipriano e a Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa oferecem um encontro com a maturidade instrumental de Mozart: um concerto onde a profundidade expressiva e a leveza de espírito coexistem em perfeito equilíbrio.
