Mozart / Beethoven: Septets
Ludwig van Beethoven’s bright and entertaining Septet, composed in 1799, combines musical logic with catchy melodies, offering a spirited musical conversation and paving the path of this music genre. And it is precisely with this kind of exchange that the soloists of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra who have dedicated themselves to making music in a spirit of friendship are masters of their craft. They also showed this with the Nannerl Septet, which Wolfgang Amdeus Mozart wrote in 1776, presumably for the name day of his sister Maria Anna: artfully playful music that radiates a festive mood as pleasurable as champagne.
