At the beginning of the concert in the Christkönig parish church in Linz-Urfahr, there were motifs from Mozart’s works, seen through the lens of the composer Claudia Federspieler, who, based on Tchaikovsky’s “Mozartiana” and inspired by Balduin Sulzer’s “Mozartiana II”, added another number III for solo clarinet and orchestra.
A highly successful three-movement work that is tailor-made for the principal clarinettist of the Vienna Philharmonic, Matthias Schorn, and demands technical virtuosity and fine sonority from him. Schorn was also convincing in Mozart’s clarinet concerto. In between, the lively C major Symphony K. 338, in which the Sinfonia Christkönig under Eduard Matscheko was able to present itself in the best possible way.
