The Marriage of Figaro remains one of the greatest of all operas, and its Overture is a perfect little gem. The vivacious Overture contains none of the thematic material from the opera itself, but captures the essence of the work superbly. Mozart is said to have intended to insert a slow interlude, in the old Italian tradition, just before the recapitulation, and to have omitted it only because he had no time to write it down; but evidently he recognised the perfection of this peerless curtain-raiser as it stands, for he never made any gesture towards amending it in any way.
Founded in 1949 by Harry Blech to delight audiences with the works of Mozart and Haydn, the London Mozart Players is the UK’s longest established chamber orchestra. Known for its unmistakable British roots, the orchestra has developed an outstanding reputation for adventurous, ambitious programming from Baroque through to genre-crossing contemporary music.
