Mozart in Bath

Highlights from 2019 Bath MozartFest with Dvorak's sunny Serenade for Winds and Mozart's String Quartet No 22 in B flat, K589, performed by London Winds and the Casals Quartet.

Sarah Walker introduces highlights from last November's Bath MozartFest. Recorded in the historic setting of the Assembly Rooms, London Winds under director and clarinettist Michael Collins perform Dvo艡谩k's Serenade for Winds. Written in 1875, and reflecting an especially happy period in the composer's life, it's a firm favourite of the musicians and audiences alike. That's followed by one of Mozart's Prussian Quartets,. They were commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm II, a keen cellist, so listen out for the way Mozart shares the solo parts between the instruments. It's played here by another internationally acclaimed group, the Casals Quartet.
