SMS 1: Fantastic

Programme:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major, K. 16
Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major

Mozart and Bruckner were such different personalities. Mozart’s whole life was driven by joy, storminess and audacity, while Bruckner’s character was imbued with modesty and moderation. Whereas Mozart was extremely sociable, Bruckner found it difficult to be among people. Mozart’s first fully preserved symphony, written when he was just eight years old, reflects all of the aforementioned qualities of the musical genius. On the other hand, Bruckner’s unusual Symphony No. 5 surprises with its dazzling world of sound and emotion. Heroic melodies and robust themes flow from the composer’s inner desire, hope and longing – feelings he usually kept to himself. Bruckner himself gave the symphony the title Fantastic”.
