Mozart and Beethoven in Bath
Bath MozartFest highlights with Wendt's arrangement of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, Sor's Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart and Beethoven's Quartet, Op 18 No 6.
Sarah Walker introduces more highlights from last winter's Bath MozartFest. Under the famous chandeliers of the Assembly Rooms, London Winds, directed by Michael Collins play a selection of the tunes arranged by 18th-century oboist Johann Nepomuk Wendt from Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro and the Casals Quartet round off today's pick with the most theatrical of Beethoven's opus 18 quartets, the sixth. Interleaving these two works, in another of the Festival's historic venues, the Guildhall, guitarist Xue-Fei Yang performs Catalonian composer Fernando Sor's solo Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart.
