Concert «Mozart, Mass in C minor»

The upcoming concert at L'Auditori de Barcelona promises an unforgettable evening with a performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s «Great Mass in C minor, K. 427». This work, which Mozart premiered in Salzburg in 1783 amid tensions with Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus von Colloredo, is one of the most impressive creations in the Western sacred repertoire. At that first performance, the newly married Constanze Weber, Mozart’s wife, stood out as the solo soprano, adding a personal and emotional touch to the work.

At this event, Mozart’s majestic piece will be conducted by Jordi Savall, a renowned maestro who brings a historically informed and passionate interpretation. Accompanied by Capella Nacional de Catalunya and Le Concert des Nations, Savall promises a vibrant and faithful recreation of this mass, which combines influences from Bach and Händel with anticipations of Romanticism.

This concert is not only an opportunity to enjoy Mozart’s musical brilliance, but also to appreciate how classical melodies can evoke deep emotions and convey a far-reaching musical legacy. The «Mass in C minor» continues to resonate as a testament to Mozart’s musical genius and his ability to capture the complexity of the human spirit through sacred music.
