Concert information
The young Mozart didnât mind showing off. And thatâs just as well, because neither does François Leleux â conductor, entertainer and oboist extraordinaire. The concert begins with the symphony that the 22-year old Mozart wrote in order to wow French audiences, and ends with an even younger Schubert stretching his wings in a âTragicâ symphony with a surprisingly happy ending. Leleux directs, and thereâs a piece of pure drama from Ludwig van Beethoven too.
The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
