About the Music

MOZART - Divertimento No. 2

SCHOENBERG - Variations for Orchestra

Franz Welser-Möst takes a walk through his Vienna, bringing us insight into a world music capital that was home to both of the featured composers on this Adella Premium program — Mozart and Schoenberg. Vienna is a cultural center that has spread its influence for hundreds of years and continues to bring the best in the world to its Musikverein.

"The orchestra’s renowned affinity for Mozart was readily palpable. The strings, both collectively and as a quartet of principals, evinced all the esprit and refinement for which one could hope. The same was true of the horns and winds, the instruments at the heart of Mozart’s plan. Over and over, they hit that highest of marks: making the music sound easy." — Cleveland.com
