Mozart - Symphony No. 38, K. 504

Opis i zarys fabuły

Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Germany. Conductor Herbert Blomstedt and the Gewandhausorchester take us on a musical journey to the Czech Republic in this 2020 concert from Leipzig's Gewandhaus. The program opens with Bohemian composer Jan Václav Hugo Vorísek's Symphony in D major, Op. 23 (1821). Although the composition - Vorísek's only symphony - was never performed during the composer's lifetime, it has become one of his most-performed works today. Also on the program is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 38 in D major, K. 504. This work, which premiered while Mozart was visiting Prague in 1787, is often referred to as the 'Prague Symphony'.
