Mendelssohn, Mozart

One of Mozart's most famous piano concertos rubs shoulders with two major works by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn for an evening of grace.

It's no coincidence that the music of Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21 has been used in a number of films. With its majestic, Olympian character, the work expresses our emotions to the highest degree, particularly in the well-known second movement. Under the fingers of Boris Giltburg, an Israeli pianist with an international career, you'll hear all the virtuosity of this Mozartian jewel. To top it all off, Ben Glassberg and the Orchestre de l'Opéra take you on a discovery of two early works by the Mendelssohn brother and sister, musical geniuses as precocious as Mozart.
