Austrian Masters

Biber Battalia à 10
Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5
Warlock Capriol Suite
Haydn Symphony No. 44, Trauer

Benjamin Beilman conductor

If you like your orchestral music with a little flair and lots of drama, look no further. Mozart’s virtuosic violin concert sits side by side with Haydn’s ‘Trauer’ or Mourning Symphony – a piece so achingly brilliant the composer himself requested that it was played at his funeral.

Two slightly more unusual pieces – baroque composer Biber’s Battalia à 10 and the 20th-century Capriol Suite – provide a collection of sparkling dance rhythms, from European folk to the Renaissance court.
