Liverpool Mozart Orchestra

The LMO’s 2016-17 season opens with lush, romantic harmonies from the great operatic composer, Wagner. He penned the Siegfried Idyll as a birthday gift for his wife Cosima. Listen out for the oboe solo, a tender German lullaby. Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony was enormously well received at its premiere in London: it’s a complete contrast to the Wagner – to say more would spoil the great surprise! Then to round off this evening of ‘greats’, Schubert’s 9th symphony, the “Great”: arguably his finest orchestral piece, full of charm, lilting melodies and sonorous harmonies – sit back and have a great time!
